On iOS, you can set the text size to be larger using the Aa button in safari.

If you are looking for an app, I am the developer of HACK which is available on both iOS/MacOS/iPadOS and Android:

A little off-topic, but I'm totally blind (use VoiceOver) and just tried the app on iOS. A few issues:

* Several buttons are unlabelled, so I'm not sure what they do. * Navigating through posts isn't the most efficient (I need to swipe several times to move from post to post). * The relative level of comments within a thread isn't announced (i.e. replies to OP are at level 1, replies to those replies are level 2, etc). Are these indented visually? * Accessibility actions should be added to quickly vote, reply to comments, etc.

Happy to provide additional feedback/model apps that do this well, but I'm not an iOS developer.

Thanks for the feedback. It’s my fault and I apologize because I hadn’t taken accessibility into account while development. I will look into making the app accessible in updates.
