Good start, BUT the programmers should realize that the settings screen should only be accessible to the person that sets up the phone for the senior. This is a very important feature, because the idea is to set up the phone for the senior and then not get a bunch of calls because they accidently changed a setting. "But honey, now it says I have 20 million messages. I can't afford that many stamps!" Also, a sufficiently fumble-fingered person can successfully access the system controls by accident. The senior can still access the "recent apps" screen by pushing the button, and can access the system settings by swiping down (as usual). The settings should not be accessible except to the "phone manager" whoever that may be.
