Zoom

These setting affect AC for the iPhone

Dark/Light Mode, Text Size and Bold Text

A change from Dark/Light mode requires AC to be relaunched

iPhone Display Zoom Setting

Depending on which setting is selected AC often shows slightly different views. Note that not only is the text made larger (Display Zoom) but icons too. AC is carefully designed for either view.

The bi-wheel text is missing (update – some text is now shown) when Display Zoom is set to Larger Text because there’s insufficient space bottom left. This does not occur with the larger screen iPhones.

To see if your IPhone is affected please see:

Your iPhone

For example here’s the main Chart Display Page showing the difference.
