Common questions
- What is an easy phone for seniors?
- An easy phone for seniors is usually an ordinary Android phone with a simplified home app installed — one that shows only the apps and contacts they actually use, with large tiles and no confusing menus. You do not need to buy a special senior phone; any Android phone can be made simpler with the right home app.
- How do I make an Android phone easier for an elderly parent?
- The single most effective change is replacing the home screen with a simpler one. Install a home app like Inglenook, pin the four or five apps they actually use, add photo tiles for the family members they call most, and turn up the display size in Android settings. That is usually enough.
- Does Inglenook work on any Android phone?
- Yes. Inglenook works on any Android phone running Android 8.0 or later. No new device is needed.
- How big are the icons in Inglenook?
- Inglenook uses a large-icon grid — significantly bigger than the standard Android home screen. The grid shows at most four to six apps per screen, making each tile easy to tap even with shaky hands or reduced vision.
- Is Inglenook free?
- Yes. Inglenook is free to download from the Google Play Store. There is no subscription, no account required, and no in-app purchases.
