Help Amazon appstore font is too small

james27007

Look into my Eye
I am surprised this has not been posted yet but what the heck is wrong with the Amazon appstore font size. I think the appstore thinks my note has a much larger screen than 5.3". I have searched and searched and cannot find a way to change the font to a larger size. Does anyone have a solution for this?
 
I've looked all over for a solution and haven't found one. I figured it hasn't been updated for the higher resolution, like a lot of other apps on the market. At least it's not as bad as apps like chuzzle which only take up 2/3rds of the screen.

These apps should be updated soon enough. (or at least I hope so.)
 
Ok I called Amazon and got to some kind of level 2 tech support. And it turns out the issue (unofficical) is that the app "sees" the resolution and thinks the phone is a tablet; so then it loads the appstore in the tablet interface which is too small for a 5.3" screen. Since the phone is new and only on AT&T, he said he doubts we will see an update to fix it or one that lets us adjust the font size.

However if they start getting more calls on it, that may help. So if you use the amazon appstore and do not like the font size, PLEASE CONTACT AMAZON
 
I'll give them a call when I get off work, it is pretty annoying. Especially when you check the App store on a daily basis.
 
Well they e-mailed about the call and I said the tech was nice but no go. I explained in detail the issue and sent that back. Well they replied and said they are forwarding the concern to the app development team. Here's hoping; a simple font adjust or just being able to select phone or tablet would fix this
