As an avid role player I am not always able to get to my laptop. I would like a way to access from my phone with out super small print. I think most of the RPR community feels the same way.

Hi GlitterKitten! :)

The site already has a mobile version that you can toggle in your Settings (Dashboard > Your Settings > Uncheck 'prevent resizing to fit screens') and Kim is working hard to make this version as friendly to small screens as possible. Official RPR templates are being updated for this, and more!

An actual app is not coming in the near future due to the fact that there need to be at least 3 versions for different platforms, all which need to be individually created, maintained/bug fixed, updated and more. Kim would have to hire dedicated developers for this as she runs the site solo, which is very very expensive and not something currently doable. (But hopefully one day!)

Here's a link to the most recent suggestion for mobile apps with links to previous discussions and more info from Kim: http://www.rprepository.com/community/forumthread.php?t=21654

Our mobile version actually includes quite large text. If you're not seeing that, you may have disabled it in your settings as Sanne described, or else have some other setting on your phone/browser overriding it.
As someone who does not have access to a computer and relies exclusively on a smartphone, the text size is adequate enough for me. However, my phone is an lg g3 which is equipped with a 5 inch screen, so that may play into it; however, I too feel that at times a text size adjustment option in the options menu would sometimes be handy.

Also, I'm not trying to say that your experience is incorrect or you're wrong or anything. I'm just relaying what mine has been like as a comparison.

Yes, I guess what I mean is not that the text size is definitely going to be correct for everyone; just that the font size in the mobile version is actually larger than the font-size in the desktop version, to try and accommodate for greater complications from screen glare, movement, dim screens for those using battery life saving options on their phones, and more. :)
