As a community we are no stranger to apps and launchers. One of the more common complaints I have heard from users came when many devices became screen only and icon were small and cumbersome. I can’t even tell you how many myTouch 3G’s I sold to elderly people while I worked at T-Mobile. That may have been morally wrong, but sadly that was my job, sell devices and get those contracts. The issue was not limited to the elderly, my step father also has issues will his device from time to time because he has short, fat, stubby fingers. Often times hitting the wrong icon. Many of us would simply tell those users to move the top used apps to a separate screen to make hitting the wrong icon impossible.
A new launcher has hit the market that is aimed at helping those individuals that struggle with the use of their device, but need it. BIG Launcher has been developed by BIG Launcher Team. The idea behind it is to offer a more simplistic approach to a launcher. Giving the user the chance and ability to have quick and easy access to the features and functions that made them buy the device in the first place.
As you can see in the screenshots above, the application gives you access to basic functions right on the home screen. Offering instant access to telephone, messages, camera, gallery, SOS button and programs launcher. Using big fonts and colorful distinctions makes seeing various aspects a breeze for anyone that might be challenged when using their device.
It is a rather unique application that definitely caters to a specific crowd. There should be no reason that devices and applications shouldn’t cater to each and every person world-wide. Ultimately that is what is going to help Android stand out even more from the competition.
