I think I'm going to love this app (I'm deaf myself so I need something better than Notes app to quickly communicate with hearing people) but I'm kinda disappointed to see that iPhone 5 widescreen display isn't supported.I see that this app haven't been updated since Oct 2011 so it seems like any hope of an update anytime soon may be slim. I still bought the app anyway just to support the developer.
I was looking through the app store for something like this. I wanted to be able to do exactly what the app does and it does it well. I'm a nurse and have several hearing impaired patients. It's far easier on both of us now that I can just speak and it displays my words. Removes the issue of handwriting.
Yes, all it does is take a string of text and display it in the largest letters that fit on your screen. That turns out to be pretty cool. I typed out "Thanks!" and got a smile from the pretty young waitress at the Japanese restaurant. I typed out "99%!", flipped my iPad to landscape, and the protesters across the street could read it. The white on black is nicely visible at night. I don't tweet, but this I will do.
I've used and loved this app for years. I've continued to use it despite my frustration that it was stuck in the iPhone 4S screen sizes. That is no longer the case. With this update, Big Words is again everything it once was, and should be.
Love this app, use it all the time, glad it works on my Xs ... have a folder of ‘lock screen mantra’ screenshots - hey I’ll buy an in-app purchase for easy image export - but I digress - would tap the buy button on a square layout the moment you release it thanks
I use this app all the time. In crowded loud situations, in very quiet situations. I use it to announce to a crowd or pass a discrete note. I also had a patient with ALS who used it to type out messages to me. I love it. Has been on my home screen since my iPhone 3 and stayed there ever since.
