There is hope! A few days ago, an email popped into my inbox about a new iPhone App. BigNames has been developed with accessibility in mnd. This is a first.

BigNames is a contact app for the iPhone.  “BigNames displays your iPhone contacts extra-large and easy to read. Perfect for when you’re on the move and need to make a call without squinting.” Designed as a dialer program, it is not currently available on the iPod Touch. So I can’t do a full review yet, despite my enthusiasm.

BigNames has great accessibility features, making it very easy to read. Accessing the built in contacts directory, BigNames displays your contacts in a large font with an light-on-bloack color shceme. The app swivels back and form between landscape (with a larger font) and porrtait mode.

The developers have promised to look into making the app Touch firiendly. I may not make phone calls on my iPod, but send emails and need to check addresses and phone numbers from my contact list .

You can find BigNames in the iPhone App Store. Visit the App Store (launches iTunes)
