Elder Launcher is a launcher designed for seniors focused on simplicity and legibility.

Elder Launcher supports pinning favorite apps and contacts to the homescreen for quick access.

You can easily phone call your favorite contacts from the homescreen.

The edit menu is useful for managing the home screen. It can be opened by clicking the pencil icon on the top right.
• You can add/remove favourite apps or contacts.
• You can also rearrange selected favourites.
• Lastly, in case a newly installed app isn't immediately visible then use the Reload option.

Elder Launcher's clear layout with big icons and text, makes using phones very easy for everyone.

If your phone has Android 10, then you can turn on Dark Mode in your settings app to make Elder Launcher dark with a black background.

User reviews

Loved its deaign. Easier than Big Laubcher. But there is one BAD drawback. Cant search in contacts to add them to favorites. I have over 2000 contacts, i am giving this phone to my mother, and cant enlist her favorite contacts. Thats just poor UI/UX

Over all launcher os really good, might be better if we had a search function when adding favourite apps, a bit of a pain going through all the apps to look for what you want, apart from that when it's all setup, it works a dream for my gran

Excellent app.. but need some customization and improvements 1. There is no need of all app button it may shift to 3 dot bar. 2. After locking the phone launcher should be reseted to contact screen & after unlocking it should show the contact menu again this will simply reset the launcher UI if wrongly clicked 3. There should be options for single menu or 2 menus.. for single menu there should be selection options either you want apps or contacts only
