Desktop App Scale

I'm very grateful for the desktop version - so key to be able to switch to Wrike easily and not have to hunt through browser tabs or accidentally close Wrike when I close Chrome.

The inability to change to font size and scale on the desktop app is also a pain point for quickly sharing my screen in videocalls or in a team meeting on a projector.  Since the desktop version seems to be just a browser anyway, how much would it take to allow zooming the page it's rendering?  Thank you.

The font size on my desktop application changed for the worse yesterday.  Not sure why.  It's so tiny, making it difficult to read and navigate.  It would be nice to size it to my preference, or at least back to what it was.  

I am with you all... it's incredibly small... and I am on a giant 27 inch imac even... and it's so strange you can't even zoom in in any way.

PLEASE PLEASE  change this... I am very unlikely to keep using the desktop app for this reason, as well as my 30+ person team that uses wrike.

Hi @Everyone, thanks for sharing your feedback here, it is passed to our Product team. I'll get back to you as soon as I have news 👍

@Lisa - Have there been any updates on this topic?  The text size and/or zoom levels of page elements on the desktop app can't be modified, but that isn't the case for the web app with most browsers.  I think it might be better to use the web app until the desktop app can integrate this setting, especially if a user intends to connect different displays (i.e. screens) with different resolutions.

Example:  I'm typing this message right now via my wall-mounted TV in my living room.  I'm using Firefox as my browser and I can easily zoom in and out via Ctrl+/- (current zoom level 240%).  This zoom-ability also holds true for Wrike workspace website.  If I switch over to the Wrike Windows desktop app on this laptop, the text and everything in the interface is so small on this 55" screen that I can barely read anything!  😵

I'd agree, just moved up to 4k screens at work and the ability to Command + to scale text in teh app would be great. I guess the fix is to just use browser but I like using the app.

Hi Lisa, any update on this? My issue is that the font size on both the desktop app and browser is too big and requires horizontal scrolling to view content. Easily fixed on the browser (should be an option to change font size anyway) but why is this not an option on the app?

I join in. Please downsize the font.

Please give the ability to change the font size so you can narrow columns and see more of the gantt chart for complex projects

In the Desktop App (for Windows)

• please make gradual zoom in/zoom out
• make zooming easy to access - e.g. by scrolling,
• and please make the zoom scale pretty detailed with 6-8-10 "steps" between 100% and 150%. (Chrome's 100-110-125-150 is too crude).

Thank you for you kind attention.

Hey guys, thanks again for your support for the suggestion! Our team would like to do it, but right now it's not planned for the nearest future. I keep passing your feedback though, and I'll let you know when I have any details!

I had to delete the Wrike desktop app because changing font size wasn't possible. It seems like this issue has been persisting for over 2+years.

DItto, I've also deleted the Wrike desktop app (MacOS) because I cannot change the font size. It's too large and I can't read column lists of tasks (all are too truncated to make out).

Wrike dev lead: Please consider this request as passed on by Lisa et al. over the last two plus years, thanks!

Hey everyone! A quick update from the team: this is not on their short-term roadmap at the moment. We continue to pass on your feedback and we'll make sure to let you know as soon as we have an update for you!

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us!

Hey everyone, one year is past and no upgrade about this issue which make app unusable?

Hi Damien Sallin, welcome to the Community 👋🏻

We released this update last December 🙂  To Zoom In/ Out on MacOs please click on View, for Windows please click on the three dots menu next to the refresh button.  

Please let me know if you have any other questions 🙋🏻‍♀️

Thanks a lot @Cansu!

I come from france and with European 'azerty' keyboard the shortcut key "Ctrl+-" doesn't work.

It oblige me to use the three dots menu as many times as I want to reduce my screen which is not very user friendly !

Please let me know if an improvement is planned!

Hi Damien Sallin, thanks for getting back to me!

Thanks for clarifying, I can definitely understand that. Currently, there are no updates planned in the short-term planning but I've shared your feedback with our Product team and I'll be sure to update this thread if there are any changes in relation to this 👍🏼
