Pinch and zoom should, ideally, re-format to fit screen width. But as a first step, we could just enable pinch and zoom without any refinement.

Would font size selection (small, medium, large?) be a setting in the Settings menu? Or something right above the page, like just under the search bar?

Maybe something can be done quickly for release 1? If not, let's not worry.

Pinch-zoom would I think also zoom the search bar, which .... may not work very well.

We may be able to rig up a font size override of some sort and stick a setting in settings, though, if it's high-priority.

not so high priority - follows other bugs

Re-submitted a request for pinch zoom as bug 34293. A global foint size override just doesn't cut it.

Here is a link to the correct task number that was re-submitted by @daniel: T36293: App should allow pinch and zoom of article content. That one was resolved, and another iOS ticket was created later T73004: App should allow pinch and zoom of article content (REDUX). Since pinch zooming doesn't seem to be working on my Android device now, I guess I'll create yet another task.
