BIG Phone for Seniors

BIG Phone for Seniors is an application specifically designed to cater to the needs of the elderly and individuals with vision difficulties. If you find standard smartphone interfaces challenging, this app offers a suite of straightforward and accessible features. With its emphasis on high contrast color schemes and large text, even users without glasses can navigate with ease.

Its primary function revolves around streamlining phone and contact operations. This entails an enlarged dialer for effortless calling, color-coded icons and large text for quick recognition, one-touch access to favorite contacts, and a decluttered call screen for answering calls without hassle. Additionally, users can effortlessly browse call history, enabling simple callbacks or message replies.

The BIG Apps Suite, compatible with Android 10, Android Go, and devices running on Android 2.2 or higher, ensures a fully accessible experience. It includes the BIG Launcher for an easy-to-use home screen, the BIG SMS for messaging with large fonts, the BIG Alarm for setting alerts with simplicity, and the BIG Notifications for enhanced visibility of Android notifications.

Moreover, for individuals who have difficulty with touchscreens, such as those with legal blindness or paralysis, the support extended for the Talkback screen reader and compatibility with external hardware like the Tecla wheelchair interface is invaluable.

While the free version presents some limitations – such as displaying only the most recent five items in the call log and disabling the keypad during calls – a full version is available for those seeking more comprehensive functionality.

Overall, the utility offers an award-winning solution for senior citizens and visually impaired users to maintain independence and confidence while using their smartphones. With support for 52 languages, a broad audience can benefit from its inclusive design.
