Just type in some words and hold up your device. We came up with the idea while dancing at a club one day. We got thirsty and tried to order some drinks. The place was so noisy, however, that it was simply impossible for the bartender to hear the order. As I was screaming at the top of my voice, I came up with this App idea. BigWrite is a quick and easy tool for getting your words across in a BIG way. All graphics were created by Samo Korošec in Vienna. All codes were written by Nicolas Haunold and Eloy Durán.
