Twitter on a Samsung 7.7 Galaxy tablet

[kinuta]

The question is if there is any way I can increase the size of the font when reading Twitter?

There's a setting on the Galaxy that allows you to increase font size but it doesn't work on Twitter.

If I tap an individual Twitter entry then the font size increases slightly but I can't find a way to increase all the postings at once.

Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried this (assuming you're using Twitter's own app)?

I hadn't been using the android app but have installed it and have been able to increase the font size by a small amount.

Thank you very much for your help.

Twitter's own apps tend to suck, regardless of platform. I'm not very familiar with the Android ecosystem as I'm an iOS guy, but you may find some of the alternative apps listed in the following pieces to be better options:

Thanks for the links.

After a turbulent flirtation with Android/Twitter, the Missus has correctly decided to use her laptop instead.

It certainly saves me the headache of trying to answer her questions when I don't have the answers.

Thanks again.

For a desktop or laptop, I highly recommend TweetDeck. There are Mac and Windows clients available for (free) download, or you can simply sign in via the web using your Twitter credentials if you don't want to install software. I interact with Twitter primarily via my iPhone, and had been skeptical about TweetDeck despite hearing power users sing its praises for years, but after I gave it a try I've become a believer. Its customizable multi-column view is especially powerful if you've created multiple lists to manage your feed.
