About this app

BIG Notifications is an accessibility-focused notification app for seniors and people with low vision. It enlarges Android notifications and shows them in a clearer full-screen view, so notifications are easier to read and easier to act on.

Designed as a companion to BIG Launcher, BIG Notifications can also be used separately. It helps users handle notifications with bigger text, large buttons, and a calmer interface on the phone they already have.

WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE BIG NOTIFICATIONS
• 🔔 Enlarged Android notifications in a clear full-screen view
• 👀 Large text for easier reading without strain
• 👆 Large buttons and simple one-tap control
• ⚙️ Notification actions can be used directly from the enlarged view
• 🧭 Can open automatically or from a shortcut in the notification area
• 🏆 From the creators of award-winning BIG Launcher

MADE FOR CLEARER EVERYDAY NOTIFICATIONS

Standard Android notifications can be small, crowded, or easy to miss. BIG Notifications focuses on readability and control, making alerts easier to see and easier to handle.

It is especially helpful for:
• seniors who find standard notifications too small
• users with low vision who need larger text
• people who prefer a clearer, simpler notification screen
• anyone setting up a calmer Android experience for themselves or a family member

BUILT ON BIG LAUNCHER ACCESSIBILITY PRINCIPLES

BIG Notifications follows the same accessibility approach as BIG Launcher and the BIG APPS SUITE.

It supports:
• enlarged full-screen notifications
• full TalkBack screen reader support
• large controls with no hidden gestures
• direct notification actions from the enlarged view

The paid version adds more configuration options, including variable text size, password-protected settings, vibration on notifications, and temporary disable mode when notifications should not disturb.

BIG APPS SUITE

BIG Notifications works well alongside companion apps built with the same focus on simplicity and readability:
• BIG Launcher — a simple home screen for seniors
• BIG Phone — easy calling and contacts
• BIG SMS — large-text SMS messaging
• BIG Alarm — a simple alarm clock

COMPATIBILITY

BIG Notifications is compatible with Android 4.3 and higher.

FREE AND PAID OPTIONS

BIG Notifications can be used as a focused companion app for enlarged notifications. The paid version unlocks additional configuration options for users who need more control.

If BIG Notifications helps, the paid version makes it easier to adapt notification behavior to personal needs.

Ratings and reviews

THIS APP IS WHAT I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIND FOR YEARS. It's a HUGE screen overlay notification in case you've missed a call or text (ALL your notifications actually). Word for word the same as your stock notifications (which are still there unchanged). Tap (X) to dismiss it or initiate other options. NOW - I couldn't access settings, so I paid for the upgrade. Don't- still no settings. Might be the Oreo phone or Nova launcher. I would highly recommend it though. Similar apps just can't compare.

App only uses dark mode in settings. Actual notifications come in as black text on white background. For a paid app that is part of a collection of apps that use dark mode to specifically improve visibility for visually impaired folks this is not only unacceptable it is unexcusable. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! Not all apps can be hidden. I have a persistent notification that doesn't display correctly so I thought I would simply hide it. Well, it won't hide either. So annoying!

The app is very good, am a paid user, but please, the app doesn't display all my notifications. What is the maximum number of notifications it can show at once and can the number of notifications it can view in a page be increased to up to 70 or even 100 notifications at once. Reply me.
