    I use TapForms on both a Mac and an iPad and sync between them often. I usually use a custom layout. Text that is normal reading size on the computer is tiny on the iPad. If I enlarge the text to be readable on the iPad it’s huge on the Mac.
    Is there anything I can do?
    Thank you!

    Hi Joanna,

    It’s definitely something that I have to look into. It’s a complex issue because when you specify the same point size for a font on each platform, you get different physical results. The iOS device screens are higher resolution than on the Mac, so the same size font looks smaller on iOS devices. And Tap Forms stores the font size information within the text of a Note field, so hence the discrepancy.
