My eyesight is not the best, so when I’m on mobile I have to pinch to zoom quite often. I’ve had it happen several times on Jerboa that I’m unable to zoom in enough on small text on an image because I’m prevented from zooming far enough in.

Is this a feature that can be added? It would be nice to simply zoom to one’s heart’s content.

(Unrelated, but I do love the app overall.)

      It’s great! I can zoom in enough to read the text I couldn’t read yesterday! I’ll mark this as solved. Looks like F-Droid doesn’t always push the latest updates through in a timely fashion.

      On a side note, is there a reason to impose a zoom limit at all? I’ve noticed this in other Android apps as well, and it’s always frustrating. (I’m not a programmer, so sorry if this is a dumb question.)

        We didn’t actively impose this limit. I switched the image library that the ImageViewer uses. And that was its default zooming limit. I think its the same in other apps where they just keep it to the default settings.

          Gotcha, that makes sense. Well, I appreciate the update. I’m going to be able to read things I’ve never been able to read before, so thanks.
