Just released a new app for senior :thumbup: citizens - TilePhone.

The app is specialized for old folks who are not used for smart phones and need a simple phone for voice calls only (no SMS no whatsup etc.).

If you have a spare smartphone after an upgrade, grandpa can now use it without getting lost in all of android possibilities.

The app was developed for my 85 year old father and he uses it daily with much success for calling his close relatives and dialing a number occasionally.

Usually smartphone have much better speaker then small dum phones, so a smart phone may be a smart choice specially if you install tilePhone and prevent the user from getting lost.

Main Features:
1. 11 speed dial buttons you can configure from the phone contacts list.
2. Hardware keys locked to prevent the user from accidentally exiting the app.
3. Configure or exit by swiping down & pressing the notification (swipe down is extremely difficult for the senior citizens using this app).
4. Automatically loaded after phone restart.

Screenshots will be posted soon - sorry forum rules.
