BIG Phone Customer Insights

1. If you do not wish to purchase the full version, to restore keypad functionality you must either uninstall the app or change the Android system preferences.Uninstalled because I need access to its dial pad when calling my doctor's office & other businesses - nowadays, one must navigate through automated menus (press 1 for English and/or press 5 for our Penn St location, etc.) This obviously means I'd need to be able to see & use the dial pad again...not an option unless one were willing & able to pay $$$ for what you've labeled a "premium feature" - SO ridiculous! Many Seniors are on fixed/low incomes; don't waste your time or money on this!On my Huawei phone (Honor 5x), couldn't get past the 'default permissions' screens.

2. The only downside of not using the BIG apps is that the SOS function can't automatically send a text.WARNING - Keypad Doesn't Work! This must be disclosed before people install the app! The keypad doesn't work during a call e.g. you can't enter passwords, voicemail options, or use self serve phone lines! Don't be fooled when the keypad works for dialing! EDIT the app isn’t bad, just be warned the free version can cause very real problems Suggested text for purchasers: WARNING: BIG Phone free limitations – the keypad is permanently disabled during a phone call - you will not be able to enter passwords, or use self serve phone lines e.g., voicemail.

3. Many seniors call their insurance companies and other services that require a touch tone phone for the menu system.The "contacts" area is confusing - have to click contact, and then the number? Needs a phone icon, or "call" message or something prompting senior what to do next.

4. To my dismay, the free version didn't allow use of the keypad during calls (that's no good if I reach a menu & must press #s on that!) But I couldn't afford to unlock the additional features on my tight budget, so I emailed the developers a complaint about the high cost.

5. One snag - I purchased the full copy of this and related apps for messaging etc, but the phone seems to think I'm using the free version and adds an 'advert' on texts.

6. I'll need to play around with the phone next time I see her (if I can prise it off her) :-)Bjg issue with the dial numbers listed in the top field .

7. PLEASE ADD CONFERENCE CALLING!!! Also make it so that your dial launcher, email, conference call, text messages and contact list are all on the same page so you don't have to go hunting for them.

8. We also tried the phone and sms apps but since my father was already familiar with his native phone apps I reconfigured the BIG buttons to launch the old apps instead of the BIG apps.

9. My mom or her friends can not get that .. rotating phones are hard to understand for people over 70...I installed this on both my 94 year-old father's phone and also on my own phone so I can follow along.

10. The keypad is completely functional in the full version, which can be purchased for $6.99 in Preferences.

11. Easy access to voicemail is pretty important but missing.A few months ago, I installed this on a tablet that lacked a functional keypad.
