BIG Launcher – A fast and simple Android home screen for the elderly and people with vision problems.
Or even you, if you hate millions of icons.
HOME SCREEN REPLACEMENT
The BIG Launcher replaces the common user interface of any phone with Android 2.1 or higher. It was designed for readability and easy use. It is controlled by single touches – no swipes, no long presses.
EASY TO USE PHONE
Access all the basic functions of the phone via a simple interface, where no one can get lost. Large texts and color icons help you to easily distinguish important items. The most frequently used items are at the top of the list.
BIG FONT SMS EDITOR
SMS messages are sorted in conversations; large font and color coding is used for displaying the message thread. Reply easily to any message with integrated SMS editor.
QUICKLY RUN ALL YOUR APPS
Use big shortcuts for your most used applications or find them quickly in the list with instant search. Recently used apps are at the top of the list. You can even hide the apps you don’t use to keep the list clean.
100% ACCESSIBLE
Three different color schemes and three font sizes allow you to use your phone without glasses. The whole interface can be controlled by hardware cursors and everything is read by Talkback – ideal for blind people.
FOR ELDERLY OR KIDS
Older people will love the big battery and signal indicators, direct dialing of their favourite contacts and the SOS button in cases of emergency. Full screen mode and password protection prevents users from getting lost.
HIGHLY CUSTOMIZABLE
Power users can set up an unlimited number of screens with apps or contact shortcuts. You can choose from lots of different icons or have a custom screen background if you want.
