Your chosen font is very fine, seems grey not black, the app doesn't allow zooming in to make it larger and your help centre has no results for increasing font settings! Where are your accessibility staff? I only need reading glasses occasionally, and your app is one of them. Didn't need glasses to write this review, check this font out...

I love CBS news this app is unusabe. The text in the stories is way too small and there is no way to adjust the size in the app. Even worse the app does not respond to font settings in my device!
