★★★★★
Great senior launcher After trying several senior launchers for my 80 year old mother this was the best one. Super simple but very useful. There was a small problem upon first try but this was solved the same day after notifying the developers. In short: great app and great service!
★★★★★
Does exactly what it should do. Awesome little app for those of us that get confused by all the functions of the smartphone. Very slick and simple, works even better with the update.
★★★★★
Best free seniors app! Been playing around with several apps to simplify the home screen for the elderly. Tried all the top rated ones which were fine but inevitably had to pay for full use. The actual free top rated ones were fine but lacked true simplicity. Tried this app and my search is complete. Ticks all the boxes and so far has been 100% free. Only feature I would add to make this perfect is the ability to remove buttons/widgets from the home screen. Job well done to the app designers!
★★★★★
Very impressive Seems like a lot of thought was put into this app. Would like to see better options for finding contact from list
★★☆☆☆
Regretfully, the same problem mentioned by others appears with my mother's Moto - the green button does not answer the call, and there is no "menu" button, menu symbol "..." or other user shortcut that I can find to enter the settings to try to get the app to be 'default'. Could not find advice that gave an answer on Moto G user base, simpleseniors.mobi website or in the play store comments.
★★☆☆☆
Can't separate the contacts from the dialer. Too confusing for elderly; too many steps to dial the phone.
★★☆☆☆
Pls just take this app down from play store. From the comments it looks like you have a problem from the start and you are yet to solve it. This app render the phone useless...YOU CAN'T ANSWER CALLS.
★★☆☆☆
This app is for visually impaired people but it keeps crashing. Blind mom can't get back to call screen to make call.. Can't receive calls when it crashes... Have reinstalled several times already, I give up... Oh and why can't she pick who gets which color to make it easier for her to remember ?? Pleeaaasse address these issues and fix...
