Fun and surprisingly useful

Have found this very useful for sending silent messages across the room

Shortcut and Siri support would be nice

I use this all the time!

Wish there were pre-saved lists I could tap on and other customization but it works great if you have the time to type something and need it BIG!

Great for silent communication.

I work as a camera operator and when I don’t have a headset to speak with the control room I flash my Big Words in front of the lens for the director to see. Love it. Also useful during concerts to speak to your friends.

The free app “BIG” is much better than this one. You can change the font, text color and background color. I wish I would have known about the free app “BIG” before I made this purchase.

I’ll pay for a square layout in-app purchase!

Love this app, use it all the time, glad it works on my Xs ... have a folder of ‘lock screen mantra’ screenshots - hey I’ll buy an in-app purchase for easy image export - but I digress - would tap the buy button on a square layout the moment you release it thanks
