Using the HOUZZ app

12 years ago

It would be very helpful if the app would zoom out.for easier viewing on text and images with respect to the visually impaired.

I have poor vision and can't see the photos good enough in the discussions because they don't zoom out on the iPad. It would help if I could quickly " save" the pic to my photos so I can do a quick zoom via my iPad gestures then delete it afterwards, but you can't save the photos either.
I should t have to mess around taking screenshots to see better.

If viewing in the browser it zooms out. It's just not assessable in the app,

I can't read the text very well either, especially in this comment box I'm typing in.

Aside from this I very much enjoy HOUZZ.

Thank you

Don't you mean zoom in (enlarge) vs zoom out (make smaller)?

In discussions and ideabooks, if you tap on the photo, it will zoom to fill the screen. You can now pinch to scale it further with your fingers. Tap the back button to return to the original discussion / ideabook.

As for text size, the houzz app respects the system text size settings, try changing the text size settings in the device settings app.

Sorry, yes I meant enlarge.i know the idea books do.,it's the rest of the app features, in particular these discussions with images. They don't pinch out , but do on the website, still using the iPad. It's the app only.

Thanks
