Maybe you could consider making it source available?
So others could verify your claims but you stay in full control and deny any sort of pull requests.
Welcome to the Fediverse. Just a heads up, your post does read like botspam and people here are very protective of this corner of the internet. The emoji-led list isn’t helping.
I’ve set up older relatives’ phones to work in a similar way (iOS widgets and shortcuts mostly) so I really appreciate your effort here. But even if you just are just stepping in here to make a few posts and then leave, please make an effort not to talk down to us like you’re screaming into the void on Instagram or LinkedIn.
Edit: Your comments do read like they came out of a slop generator. And publishing your code, even if it’s not beautiful, even if you’re cleaning it up in the future, would be a sign of goodwill.
Trust is a two way street my friend. It’s up to you not to seem suspicious.
Based on the images it looks really good! My grandpa recently got a new phone and I’ve been wondering whether he should use something like this. He can easily get overwhelmed and lost in the interface, and struggles with misinputs/inputs not registering. Giant, easy to read buttons on the home screen would make it so much easier for him I think.
Then you’d share the source. And don’t give us the “it’s not stable enough” excuse. That makes no sense at all. And besides, if it’s not stable and that gave you any pause, you wouldn’t share it at all.
A few weeks ago, I made a launcher with in-app purchases for my parents and thought I’d share it here with my brand new account with no other activity. Buy Try my app!

Wait till you hear how low my battery can be. Once I was cutting it close at 1% battery power.
If you aren’t expecting to make money off of this, you should open source it.

There’s really no way to trust you on that, except looking at the source code. “Stability” has nothing to do with open-sourcing.

There’s no reason not to publish messy code. Most code ends up being messy.
Maybe you could consider making it source available?
So others could verify your claims but you stay in full control and deny any sort of pull requests.
And remove the in-app purchases.
Please publish it in fdroid and some public git repo.

I would be shocked if this isn’t a spam bot.

I forgot how good text on buttons is. Fuck trying to remember every stupid app or function icon

Looks great! I was looking for something like this (but FOSS) for my kids.
deleted by creator
Why wait for it to be more stable?
Looks good and I love that it is offline without ads and trackers.
It’s something I would definitely consider installing for my mum with the caveat that I’d like to see the source published.

This is exactly something I would like to install on my grandma’s phone, but does it have translations builtin? I am asking for Croatian specifically.
deleted by creator
Oh WOW. This is amazing for my grandma. I’ll get it to her ASAP
It could be malware, OP is not sharing the source code.

Idk about other versions of android but Samsung phones have a setting called easy mode that does this too

This looks really good! I’ll try to install it on my mother’s phone.

I would 100% assume this app is malware given everything about how OP writes.
Honestly it just looks like an AI summary given the emoticons

Could be a non-native speaker using an LLM to translate with a specific tone

The pictures of the people look generated too, so it seems likely the same person would generate text too.
