Description

A fast and simple Android interface for seniors and people with vision problems.
Or even you, if you hate millions of icons.

BIG Launcher makes the smartphone suitable for seniors, children, and people with eye diseases, motor problems or the legally blind. Visually impaired and technically challenged users can use the simple and easy-to-read interface with ease. There is no fear of making a mistake and losing everything with stress-free navigation. And it also features the SOS button which can save lives!

✮ Your new home screen
The BIG Launcher replaces the user interface of any phone or tablet with Android 2.1 or higher. It is designed in consideration with seniors and the visually impaired to provide maximum readability and easy use.

✮ Enlarged icons
Large buttons are easy to use - they are controlled by single touches, leaving no room for errors.

✮ Easy to use phone
Access all the functions of the phone via a simple interface. No confusion, no complications. Large texts and color coded icons help you to easily distinguish between items.

✮ Well-arranged call history
Quickly access favorite contacts from the menu or by putting them directly on a home screen. Browse through the call history and easily call back or reply with a message.

✮ Big font SMS editor
SMS messages are sorted by conversations. Large font and color coding is used to display the message thread. Reply easily to any message with the easy to use SMS editor. Writing a message has never been simpler.

✮ Full screen notifications
Optional full screen SMS notifications allows you to rapidly call back or reply to the message.

✮ Quickly run all your apps
Use big shortcuts for your most used applications or find them quickly in the app list with instant search. Recently used apps are at the top of the list. Shortcuts like web bookmarks can also be placed on the home screen.

✮ Hide unwanted apps
Hide the apps you don’t want to use to keep your app list clean. Useful for restricting access to those off-limit apps as parental controls or to protect users from getting lost in the navigation.

✮ 100% accessible
High contrast color schemes and three different font sizes allow you to use your phone without glasses. Additional color themes are available for download. Extended support for Talkback screen reader allows legally blind users to use their phone with ease and confidence.

✮ For elderly or kids
Older people love the big battery and signal indicators, direct dialing of their favorite contacts and the SOS button with geolocation for the cases of emergency. Kids appreciate colorful backgrounds.

✮ Password protection
Full screen mode and password protection prevent the users from getting lost or from deleting something important from the phone. This creates a completely safe mobile environment.

✮ Choose the features...
Customize BIG Launcher easily to match your needs - set up an unlimited number of screens with apps, contacts, shortcuts or widgets. Swipe between them or use the buttons to group related functions.

✮ ...and pick a theme
You can choose from many downloadable visual themes and icon packs to customize your phone. Also, every screen can have a different background.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
