On my smartphone (Oneplus 6T), there seems to be a problem with the font size for heartrate and distance. I think some numbers take up more space than others and they push the last digit to the next line. Because of this, the last line with the total distance, total time and speed is also pushed down and is not visible any more (screenshot 1). The same thing happens on the last line with the total distance, although the impact is less noticable there (screenshot 2)
Hello @Tom_Pauwels_zTEAMTYP
Thank you for reporting this. I’ll pass it along to our Android team for review.
@Tom_Pauwels_zTEAMTYP
Our QA team is looking into it.
In the meantime, please confirm that
- You’re running the latest version of the Zwift Companion app
- Check your device’s default font size and zoom settings
Thank you.
Hi, I have checked:
- I am running the latest Zwift campanion app (v3.9.0)
- My font size setting is set to “Larger” instead of “Standard”. I can confirm if I set the setting to “Standard”, the issue does not occur. However, I would like to keep the font size setting to “larger”. In my opinion, it should not affect the correct rendering of the output numbers.

Hi Gerry, I think your font size setting is set to “Standard” instead of “Larger” (used on my phone).
You can see the the space between the “RPM” and the heartbeat digits is much larger as on my screen.
Same issue here, it’s with Large Fonts and numbers that render wide. Such as 4 vs. the 3 shown in the picture. If you have 111 it works, but certain numbers on the large font push it over the limit and wraps the text. I’d like to see this scaling issue fixed as well.

And I sadly have to revive this thread.
For several weeks, I’m having the same issue with the font size of the heartrate (doesn’t occur till mid July, approx.).
When my HR becomes three digits, the last digit will be placed in the next line and the total time, total distance and speed are pushed out of the box (exactly like on the screenshots from Tom).
Smartphone is a Galaxy S10+ and the App-Version is 3.40.0 (1456).
Is there any fix available to this (reinstall doesn’t worked)?
Its likely the new font being a tad bigger is causing the issue (and seems to be us Galaxy owners - same on my S22, S10 and Galaxy Tab). Try Accessibility setting and adjust font size down a level or two and you should/could be OK. That also impacts a few other areas on the CA so may not be optimal until Zwift fix the underlying problem.
New font is also going weird on Activity view screen. Also logged with Zwift Support direct given the radio silence from them on these issues in the forums.
I adjusted the font in Settings down a notch, and it displays fine but even with my glasses, I cant read non-Zwift text.
It’s crazy that this simple 3+ -year-old bug hasn’t been fixed yet.
There appears to be plenty of room for the large font numbers in the layout (the empty leading space).
This occurs when the system-wide font size setting is set to anything above the middle. My phone (Galaxy S8+) has 8 font size choices, and on the 4th largest size this happens.
Also at this size it looks like no one has more than 99 followers/following…
That should read 35302, not 35. On the 5th largest font size (4th smallest size), it is still missing one digit.
No other apps I use have messed up layouts due to this font size setting (and I am not paying $15/month for any of them).
Yep, amazingly poor quality control.
Another example - they word wrap due to another action (tick box)
2 items fixed for me, and 2 not fixed. Anyone seeing different?
Fixed is:
- live HR
- viewing activities
What’s still not fixed:
- entering an event
- missing data on timeline
