Ratings and reviews

I don't need the "big" features (yet!) but enjoy using this launcher - clean, simple, reliable, well thought through & executed & fast too. Can now use any icons or images which was a much appreciated update. Surprisingly customisable once you learn your way around. They even provide a comprehensive users manual - who does that! Yes, it cost a bit, but I'm more than happy with my purchase.

My mother needs a simpler phone so I decided to try BIG Launcher. I must admit: it is good so I paid £8.99 for that. I needed the BIG Phone (£6.99) and BIG SMS (£4.49) to simplify things for her. I would have preferred it if I could pay one upfront payment for everything so I know how much I'm paying in total... ...but to be honest, the apps work well together. My mother does indeed find the phone a lot easier to use now. She can use the texts and calls easily. I can't complain about the apps.

I put this app on a elderly relative's tablet and it's fantastic. Big clear buttons and easy to configure. I normally search out free apps but this was well worth the purchase. It would be nice to see a couple of future enhancements. I would like the option to remove the signal strength graphic as it's pointless on a tablet. Second I would like to be able to configure the SOS button to email a number of recipients. This app fit my needs hence five stars..
