It is meant for small screens, unsteady hands and eyes\nthat would rather not squint.\n\nEvery tile can be anything you like: an app, a contact, a shortcut, a widget, a function\nsuch as the torch or Wi-Fi, or a jump to another screen. Grid size, tile size, colours and\nlabels are all yours to set.\n\nWhat you get:\n\n* A home screen of big tiles, freely assigned, with an optional header showing time, date\n  and battery.\n* A dialler with a keypad, speed dial on 2 to 9, a grouped call log and its own in-call\n  screen. Taking over the phone role is offered, never forced.\n* Messages: thread list, conversation and composing.\n* Contacts with search, sorting by first name or surname, and favourites.\n* An SOS button with a countdown that calls several numbers in turn and can send an\n  emergency message with your location.\n* Reading help: hold a tile to have it read out or shown large, and page through long\n  lists with buttons instead of swiping.\n* Export your setup to a file and read it back on your next phone.\n* If the launcher ever fails to start, a simple fallback screen appears with phone,\n  contacts and settings, rather than a black device.\n\nNo account, no advertising, no tracking, and no internet permission at all.\n\nHomeTiles is a free replacement for BIG Launcher, whose features are now spread across three\npaid apps.\n","categories":["Launcher","Phone & SMS"]}
