Beautiful 10 Stars! It's like having a computer in my hand. I'm not a senior or visually impaired. If you think I'm crazy go watch a Star Trek episode. Everything was big! Technology was meant to be fully customizable just as this is.

★★★★★ Tomas Takac · Jul 3, 2025

Love this app. Gave it to elderly parents to & they love it. Price is great. How would I improve it? 1. Add smaller fonts for mainstream - even I would use it (50). Increase your customer potential - I would love simple messaging app with bigger fonts. But the default font is too big for me. 2. Support most languages. 3. Make sure it fully works on most phones. 4. Support RCS? Don't know if possible. Good luck & Thank you!

★★★★★ Stey Pie · May 7, 2020

Have downloaded a lot of sms apps but not my cup of tea, not working well, confusing, BUT,,,, THIS APP THE BEST SO FAR FOR SEniors and people with poor eyesight, thank u to the developer for thinking about our old farts

★☆☆☆☆ The Twelves · May 24, 2026

Had problems with not all incoming texts appearing. Had to uninstall. Texts which did not appear were simple SMS text messages from family members. I reinstated the native android text app, and put that icon on the big launcher home screen. Happy with the big launcher home screen, it's a good concept. Shame about the SMS part.

★★☆☆☆ Don Nelson · Oct 27, 2020

Very easy to use. Really, really wish Big Apps would offer MMS support as texting is useless without it. Would also like to see the Send Button a different color or more obvious. All in all not a bad app for what it is.

★☆☆☆☆ Rocko Miller · Dec 31, 2024

This app froze and it froze my entire phone. I can't pull the battery out because my phone's not made that way, so my phone was stuck and froze for hours on this app until the battery ran out. No other app has ever frozen my phone like that. None of the texts show up in order. I didn't receive most of my texts.
