This launcher is okay but as basic as it is this is not easy for some one who is not familiar with Android phones, the standard simple setup is easier than this app on most phones, also crashes a lot too, Uninstalling sorry guys.

Excellent senior solution for Android. Makes the phone simple and easy to use. Would love to see the option for a "home" page that links to the other pages so it'll just jump to the selected page.(instead of swiping) Still love it, and so far it is the choice for my "senior" dad.

Best senior app but missing a contact favorites so seniors can access the phone numbers they use most instead of having to go thought the whole menu of contacts

Installed on my dad's phone. Perfect for his needs, easy to use, configurable, with large clean UI. However, it eats too much battery life and does not play well with notifications (for example, it is almost impossible to turn off alarms if you are running Fontrillo- you have to open another app, bring down the default Android notifications THEN turn off the alarms from there.)

Have installed and set this up for our parents and they find it very easy to use. The only suggestion so far is that they would like to be able to choose a qwerty keyboard rather than the alphabetical keyboard.

Very good senior app or for people with cognitive difficulties. Better if u could password protect settings to avoid accidental changes. Some method of reducing the sensitivity of scrolling would be good for persons who have shaky fingers.

Big dialer, big key. Fontrillo is the only way my mom could switch to a smartphone. No more glasses! Toggle between screen is really cool. I love it.

Very nice interface, pretty and efficient. And simplified apps for taking photos etc, not just a launcher that drops back to normal Android apps. I miss language support (Swedish) and maybe a video recorder (separate from the camera). And in the configuration to be able to customize what features to enable, if to disable the camera for some user. When scrolling in the Gallery it should snap to the photo boundary when slowing down the scroll, so still contiguous but snaps to border. And a way to share photos directly from the camera or the gallery. But maybe it is better to do that from the message editing. It is good if not having multiple ways to do the same thing, makes it confusing for this kind of user.

I have to say best launcher for seniors, installed this in my mothers phone But there are some bugs likw when i delete any text message or contact it doesn't delete untill we restart launcher. another is there are no favorites if there are favorites for contact as assigned action like single tap for call or single tap for sms this would be great if you add this feature in next update
