iPad font size for files
Why are file names shown in a truly gargantuan font size on an iPad? I can literally read them from across a room. The fonts for the papers themselves are perfectly reasonable. However, I can only display a few files at a time in the library file list because the fonts are so huge. I don’t’t know what they are exactly, maybe 64-pt size? A 12-pt font size would be sufficient. Seriously, this app looks cartoonish in a way that impedes usability. I like the desktop apps, but the iOS iPad version is nearly unusable, and that has me researching alternatives to Zotero.

What exact iOS version is this?
At that setting, in iPadOS 17.7.10, some text for me in Zotero is larger than in other apps, so we probably do need to tweak our Dynamic Type handling, but it's much smaller than in your screenshot.
Note that iOS 26 is very buggy — even in your screenshot you can see that the system text is running off the screen, which it didn't in previous iOS versions. We'll have to test with these settings in iOS 26 to see if we can reproduce what you're seeing. But just to be clear, the size you have it at puts it at the maximum configurable font size without the accessibility setting enabled, so this isn't close to the default configuration.
