About BigNames
BigNames makes calling people in your contact list easy.
Large, high-contrast text allows everyone (not just people with reduced vision) to easily browse names and select the correct number.
* uses your existing contact list
* supports both landscape and portrait orientation (landscape orientation uses an even larger font)
* uses the nicknames you've defined in your contact list (e.g. Dad, Sis)
* skips loading contacts that don't have phone numbers
* browse names or jump to a specific part of your contact list
* add a star to frequently dialled contacts so they appear at the top of your list
* English, French, German and Japanese language support
