Launcher for my grandma ?

[QingWu]

Any advice? I bought a note3 for her but she complain the phone is too complex,the font and button are so small for her. Any large launcher simple enough for her, like a senior phone?

I think that his could be just what you are looking for, here is what it says in the official description on the Play Store

"A fast and simple Android interface for seniors and people with vision problems.
Or even you, if you hate millions of icons.BIG Launcher makes the smartphone suitable for seniors, children, and people with eye diseases, motor problems or the legally blind. Visually impaired and technically challenged users can use the simple and easy-to-read interface with ease. There is no fear of making a mistake and losing everything with stress-free navigation. And it also features the SOS button which can save lives!
Your new home screen
The BIG Launcher replaces the user interface of any phone or tablet with Android 2.1 or higher. It is designed in consideration with seniors and the visually impaired to provide maximum readability and easy use.
Enlarged icons

Thanks Hiredgun, but it looks too ugly, seriously for note 3?

Does she find it ugly?
I have bad vision so i change the screen density (DPI) of my phone to make things bigger but that requires "hacking" the phone.
Why not let her try that launcher for a while?

Actually she said that...
I found one,seems she like it.

Yeah that one looks ok man. Looks like a Windows Phone tbh which is what id recommend to older peeps.
My 61yr old dad uses one :thumbup:
P.s, respect to you for buying your grandma a high end phone and taking the time to help her get it set up :beer::beer:

Well, technology should server people right? Specially for those seniors, they do want to keep connected with us

Definitely man. Modern tech should be embraced by everyone to enrich their lives :beer:
