What is Large interface mode?

Large interface is a mobile app display setting under Profile → Settings → Display & navigation → Display preferences. When you turn it on, Medication Timer magnifies the entire interface—text, buttons, icons, and spacing—so everything is easier to see and tap. On iPad the zoom is stronger (about 55% larger) than on iPhone (about 38% larger).

The setting is saved to your account, so it follows you on iPhone, iPad, and Android when you are signed in with the same account. It is not available on the website.

Easier to read before you sign in

On the login and registration screens, tap Easier to read to open Display preferences before you log in—useful if you want large interface or high contrast from the first screen.

Works with high contrast text

Large interface makes everything bigger; High contrast text makes labels and borders easier to read at the same size. They are complementary—you can turn on either or both in Display preferences. See What is high contrast text on mobile?

How is this different from my device’s text size?

Your phone or tablet may also offer Display & Text Size (iOS) or Font size (Android) in system settings. Those affect many apps at once. Large interface only changes Medication Timer and is independent of system settings. You can use either or both.

Who is it for?

It is especially helpful on iPad (where the app uses the full screen) and for anyone who wants easier reading without changing how the app is laid out.
