Andrew Sharpe (ID: 0000004c4994af18) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/28/2023 Just saved my life. I could find no way to make the reading pane larger and not zoom the rest of the screen at the same time. Our company has just switched to gmail, and I needed this extension badly. Thank you!

Hy Ginsberg (ID: 000000f89ebbb292) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/21/2021 Love it -- a game changer. I was just about to switch to always using large font, letting everyone know how blind I've become... Now that's my own business again. Great extension.

Avi Schwartz (ID: 000000b554899c02) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/21/2020 Works very well and helps my not-so-great eyes. Initially I didn't read the explanation on how to use it and thought that I had to click on the icon in the toolbar. Now that I know better to click on the Z to the left of the address bar I am very happy with the result.

Janine C (ID: 0000002c14fafbfb) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/01/2020 Exactly what I wanted. Helps alleviate eye strain!

Yvonne Conchie (ID: 000000dfccc7e963) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/08/2020 Great job for expanding the actual emails, rather than the whole screen, menus and all. Thanks
