Sorry you feel that way. You’re the first person to mention this, but design is subjective so it’s totally reasonable for some people to dislike a specific design tyle.

That said, Strides follows all of Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines, and the text is above the minimum requirements for legibility.

As for “step number 2” I think you mean the subtext in the top nav of the tracker setup process, which says “Step 2 of 3”. It’s smaller than the rest of the text because it’s of very low importance, relative to “Add Tracker” above it, or even the other text on the view. Font size is all about visual weight of importance.

The contrast is low in some cases – like light gray separators for examples – for a very similar reason. There’s no need to have thick, dark separators between table cells when there are large, bold, high-contrast tracker names that naturally separate each cell.

These are all design decisions, and they fit the minimal style/brand. I’m always working on improvements though, so I plan to add support for dynamic type in a future update.
