Description
Audiobook and podcast player built for seniors, visually impaired and non-tech-savvy listeners who need an easy way to play audio. Instead of complex menus and unnecessary features, Homer offers a clear, minimal interface focused on one thing: easy audiobook and podcast playback.
Use the special "lockdown mode" to turn an Android tablet into a dedicated, single-purpose audiobook and podcast device.
Designed for: - Elderly who want simple, independent listening - Visually impaired users who benefit from large controls and spoken titles - Non-tech-savvy users who find standard apps overwhelming - People with cognitive challenges who need basic functionality
Easy to use: - Large, easy-to-tap buttons - Simple navigation with swipe left/right - Flat content structure (no deep nested folders) - No ads, no pop-ups, no distracting clutter - Optional title read-aloud for accessibility - Flip-to-stop: place device screen-down to pause playback
Lockdown mode: - only playback functionality - blocks exiting the app - hides settings - no access to other apps, notifications nor settings
Audiobooks: - Play DRM-free audiobooks from device storage - Resume position saved separately for each book
Podcasts: - Automatically updates to show the latest 1-5 episodes - Downloads full episodes for reliable offline playback
Caregiver-managed setup (secondary role): - A caregiver configures content and settings in advance - Optional lockdown mode hides all apps and functionality except the player - Device is prepared once, then used independently by the listener
Additional features: - High-contrast light and dark themes - Customizable controls: volume, chapter skip, forward, rewind - Adjustable playback speed - Sleep timer with shake-to-continue
How it works: 1. Install Homer on an Android 7+ phone or tablet. 2. Add audiobooks/podcasts and adjust the interface as needed. 3. Optionally lock or hide settings. 4. Hand the device to the listener for simple, independent daily use.
Homer makes audiobook and podcast listening accessible for people who cannot comfortably use standard smartphone apps.
Recent changes: More robust file scanning should fix rare cases of incorrect playback order.

Comments on Homer Audio Player for Seniors for Android
★★★★★Dominic Cooper· Feb 14, 2026
Excellent player, that just does exactly what it needs to do. An elderly family member of mine struggles with dexterity and eyesight, this player allows a non tech-savvy person/elderly person to have an easy to use simple player that does the job perfectly, no hassle no problem. I think it's brilliant 👏

A very specific app for a very specific audience but it does its job extremely well. You can also activate the lockdown feature without having to install the app separately by using some of the accessibility features in Android. This really creates a dedicated audiobook player out of any telephone. I'm very happy I found this app. Thank you very much for having coded it.

It's so nearly perfect. Just wish it was super easy to Just purchase and install books. My nearly blind relative was so excited, but I struggled to find latest books. I will persevere.
