Q: IOS 10 and Overdrive Media

I downloaded iOS 10 yesterday for my iPad Air 2. When I went to read a book in Overdrive Media the print was so small it was almost impossible to read. I think it's in Overdrive Media problem because I wasn't able to increase the size of the fonts in the app. Anybody else having this problem or anybody know a solution Short of waiting for the app to be updated?  I could not increase the font size in settings. It did not affect the font size in Overdrive Media.

    Thanks anyhow. Spoke to someone at my library. No new suggestions. Then I thought maybe there was a glitch in the book I had downloaded previous to upgrading the iOS. Sure enough, new books downloaded work just fine. Hope this helps someone else. Cheers,

    Unfortunately I have tried everything and nothing worked.  Turned app on and off.  Turned iPad on and off.  Uninstalled and reinstalled Overdrive twice.  Tried the Default button but now the book is 2500 pages!  I am really out of options.  Will read on web browser - NOT my preference - until something comes up.  Very frustrating because I am in the middle of a good book!

    Please see my note above. I had to return two books I was reading, because they wouldn't work after I upgraded my iPad and overdrive. Unfortunately, there were holds on them, but I'll get them later. The good news is that new uploads worked just great for me. Good luck!

    Now this is really baffling.  I checked out another book just to check and it was fine.  Could get the larger font.  So I returned my book, rechecked it out, and no deal.  Tiny type.  Checked out another book by the same author and tiny font.  So in other words, the app does not work for the books I want to read!  Is there someone to contact at Overdrive?    Also I tried to read the book on the web but don't like it.  Can't see page numbers, bookmarks, etc.

    There should be some contact info on the develiper's site

    http://app.overdrive.com/

     

    Sounds lie it's a formatting glitch between file types and the pdf files and the app itself.

    Thanks.  Unfortunately I went to the site and they only give the suggestion of turning off the Default settings - which does NOT work.  When you go to get help, they forward you to your own library and the issue is with the app, not the library.

    If I remember correctly from a previous problem I had with overdrive it was my local library who contacted either them or the regional library system that contracts with them.

    I tried returning the book and borrowing it again and the font issue was not resolved.

    I haven't been able to check same books out that caused problems, so not much help here. Did you do all the TOTO stuff and reinstall updated overdrive in between trying? It's a real pain, isn't it? Wish Overdrive folks were more responsive, because my library folks tried, but couldn't solve it.
