Ask HN: An Android build/skin specifically created for Almost Blind People?
I have an 82 year old friend who I help and care for. She has about 10% of her sight left and she uses and needs her phone on a daily basis.
She particularly needs Whatsapp.
I am having a lot of difficulty finding and installing apps with very large clear fonts, in a way where the operating system doesn't keep having overlays or changing things and keeps getting stuck using her phone?
What are the best options? Doesn't Android have a lot of accessibility options built in? I know Material Design certainly does, but many apps don't use it. Maybe use it in a similar manner to fully blind people. Depending on what your friend uses her phone for, one of these might be a decent option: The closest one I can think of is : Jitterbug Smart4
