SeniorLauncher

A launcher app for Android, intended for oldies

Get it on F-Droid

What does this app do?

  • It registers as app launcher (that means it is called when the phone boots and the home button is pressed).
  • It let's the user decide if he wants to call someone or wants to watch images
  • It reads the contact list and displays all contacts that have an image and a phone number (only the first number is used!).
  • Every contact is displayed as a large button with the contact's image on it.
  • On click either a call to the contact is initialized or the sms-app is opened to show images sent via mms
  • In image-mode the gallery can be opened
  • Calling the ambulance is added on top of the list in the call-screen.
  • Language: US english, german, french and brazilian portugese. (the medical emergency number is localized, of course)

Why are mms used for images?

  • Because they are available everywhere and every phone has an app to use them installed
  • Because it is the only way (i found out) to carry the user right to the newest images
