Just started zwift run on my new treadmill which has a tablet holder. Really like zwift run and the workouts/training plans are great. I have a 10.1 inch ipad but the text on the page is so small I can’t see it when running. In fact it’s making me feel a bit travel sick trying to read the screen when running. This is much worse than when on the bike in zwift as your head is still when on the bike. I know companion app is an option but that would involve looking down a lot because my phone will be on the tray on the treadmill. An option to fix this would be to have a heads up display at the bottom centre which has large text and rotates round the key info i.e. Workout progress then elapsed time, current speed etc.
Absolutely agree. Swift is rubbish on an iPhone - you know, the thing people use the most.
Poor form Swift - Automatically detecting is kind of 2017 - get on it.

I think most people either use a tv bigger monitor. Trying to view a phone or tablet when running isn’t good and yes likely to bring on travel sickness or an accident if you over concentrate on trying to read the screen.
Link to a TV and all will be good.
100%. I mount my iPhone on my bike, and I can’t read anything on it. Even trying to set it up the first time while NOT on the bike. WAAAAAAAY TOO SMALL!

I’m using an iPad to follow a Zwift training plan. Unfortunately I find it impossible to read the little workout screen at the top of the HUD. The instructions are far too small, and there’s too little contrast to read. You can Zoom in on everything else on an iPad, why not the Zwift HUD?? My workout is spoilt by having to stand up, and lean right over the iPad to see what I’m being asked to do.
I use zwift on my 13" laptop for biking and on my android phone for running. It is seriously impossible to see the text on the phone and difficult on the laptop. I have to figure out how to see a bigger device I guess, but I’m not a TV person, so I only have a tiny, basic one.
I wish I could enlarge the part that shows the stats of the workout and diminish the part that shows the random road looping around. I’d appreciate that in cycling too. When there’s a KOM or Spring coming up, I rarely can actually see where.
I’m excited about how the zwift shoe pod works but wish I could actually use the app.
I think anyone with 20/20 vision would struggle to see a phone screen whilst running.
The constant head movements make it nigh on impossible to focus.
Far better to cast to a bigger screen.
