My question... Who thought the WAITING TO CHARGE, and other giant text was a good idea?
I'm an old guy, but I put my iphone16 75 feet away and was still able to read the giant text. why?
Its so big It frequently cant even fit on one line, so it wraps and adds even more wasted space.
The charging screen (middle button on bottom of app) also shows the giant text, with other oversized fonts making the new charge adjuster appear cut off on the screen, again, you have to scroll to see it all. The giant fonts and wasted screen whitespace has made the app unusable to me.

Ford - go download the Tesla app if you want to see how its done correctly.
my complaint is the "make this phone a key" at the very top of the home screen. PAAK is an option that I have no intention of ever using yet there it is for eternity taking up space at the top of the home screen.

Glad to see the PPOB but I have yet to need to use it.

Posting again to try to get more attention to this thread - maybe even a response from Ford!

The title of my thread is a bit generic and this thread has veered all over so I'm restating my original issue with the app..

REDUCE THE FONT SIZE SO THE APP IS USABLE

Screenshotting this and sending to the Ford App team. And no, I'm not joking (lol).
