Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

BIG Launcher is a trusted senior phone launcher for Android. It replaces the standard interface with large buttons, large text, clear navigation, and practical one-tap shortcuts, so everyday phone use feels calmer, simpler, and more reliable. Designed first for seniors and people with low vision, BIG Launcher helps users stay confident and independent on the phone they already own. Support from a partner, family member, or caregiver can help with setup, but the daily experience is built entirely for the senior user. The app is available in English and 70 languages worldwide. WHY CHOOSE BIG LAUNCHER: • 👆 Large buttons and large text for easier reading • 🧭 Clear, simple layout that reduces mistakes and confusion • 🆘 SOS button for extra peace of mind • 🛠️ Strong customization for different routines, habits, and abilities • 📱 Works on almost any Android phone or tablet • ✅ Trusted by more than 2 million users since 2011 • 🏆 Winner of the Vodafone Smart Accessibility Awards SIMPLE TO USE, FLEXIBLE TO ADAPT BIG Launcher is easy to set up, yet powerful enough to adapt over time. It is a mature, high-quality launcher tailored to the person actually using the phone. Customize the home screen with shortcuts for: • apps • contacts • websites • widgets • everyday actions You can also: • add more screens • use large high-contrast themes • choose different font sizes • hide apps that cause confusion • quickly find apps with search or recent apps This makes BIG Launcher practical from day one, adapting as needs, routines, or confidence levels change. BUILT FOR ACCESSIBILITY BIG Launcher was created for seniors and visually impaired users, while remaining highly useful for anyone who finds the standard Android interface too small, busy, or stressful. It supports high-contrast color schemes, large fonts, TalkBack, and the Tecla wheelchair interface. The BIG Apps Suite can also be used with hardware keyboards. BIG APPS SUITE BIG Launcher works seamlessly with companion apps built on the same accessibility principles: • BIG Phone — easy calling and contacts • BIG SMS — messaging with large fonts • BIG Alarm — a simple alarm clock • BIG Notifications — enlarged Android notifications WORKS WITH THE PHONE YOU ALREADY HAVE BIG Launcher is compatible with Android 2.2 and higher. BIG SMS requires Android 4.4 and higher. This means many users can keep their current device and simply make it easier, safer, and less frustrating to use. FREE VERSION The free version is not time-limited. You can use it for as long as you want and buy the full version later if it fits your needs. Free version limitations: • only the right column of buttons can be customized • only 5 additional screens can be created • settings cannot be protected by password • an occasional reminder to buy the full version is shown If BIG Launcher helps, the full version unlocks more customization and control.
