BIG Notifications is an accessibility-focused notification app for seniors and people with low vision. It enlarges Android notifications and shows them in a clearer full-screen view, so notifications are easier to read and easier to act on.
Designed as a companion to BIG Launcher, BIG Notifications can also be used separately. It helps users handle notifications with bigger text, large buttons, and a calmer interface on the phone they already have.
WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE BIG NOTIFICATIONS
• 🔔 Enlarged Android notifications in a clear full-screen view
• 👀 Large text for easier reading without strain
• 👆 Large buttons and simple one-tap control
• ⚙️ Notification actions can be used directly from the enlarged view
• 🧭 Can open automatically or from a shortcut in the notification area
• 🏆 From the creators of award-winning BIG Launcher
MADE FOR CLEARER EVERYDAY NOTIFICATIONS
Standard Android notifications can be small, crowded, or easy to miss. BIG Notifications focuses on readability and control, making alerts easier to see and easier to handle.
It is especially helpful for:
• seniors who find standard notifications too small
• users with low vision who need larger text
• people who prefer a clearer, simpler notification screen
• anyone setting up a calmer Android experience for themselves or a family member
BUILT ON BIG LAUNCHER ACCESSIBILITY PRINCIPLES
BIG Notifications follows the same accessibility approach as BIG Launcher and the BIG APPS SUITE.
It supports:
• enlarged full-screen notifications
• full TalkBack screen reader support
• large controls with no hidden gestures
• direct notification actions from the enlarged view
The paid version adds more configuration options, including variable text size, password-protected settings, vibration on notifications, and temporary disable mode when notifications should not disturb.
BIG APPS SUITE
BIG Notifications works well alongside companion apps built with the same focus on simplicity and readability:
• BIG Launcher — a simple home screen for seniors
• BIG Phone — easy calling and contacts
• BIG SMS — large-text SMS messaging
• BIG Alarm — a simple alarm clock
COMPATIBILITY
BIG Notifications is compatible with Android 4.3 and higher.
FREE AND PAID OPTIONS
BIG Notifications can be used as a focused companion app for enlarged notifications. The paid version unlocks additional configuration options for users who need more control.
If BIG Notifications helps, the paid version makes it easier to adapt notification behavior to personal needs.
