是不是常常遇到這種情況: 寫字時突然卡住, 明明會這個字,卻一時想不起來長什麼樣子。 現在打字多、寫字少, 很多字其實只是「太久沒寫」。 但手機上的字太小, 放大又麻煩,還要一直縮放滑動。 「老花救星」就是為這種時刻設計的。 只要在畫面上方輸入文字, 下方立即以超大字體全螢幕顯示。 筆畫清楚、對比明顯, 每一筆都看得清清楚楚。 不再瞇著眼睛看小字, 也不用反覆放大縮小。 打開 App,輸入文字,就這麼簡單。

Shows the legal degree of kinship (Taiwan Civil Code, Article 968). • Family tree (up to 5 people) Add family members and see the relationship chart. Add a profile photo or mark someone as deceased. • Days Birthdays, wedding anniversaries and your own occasions together, with the next 30 days at a glance. • Almanac Daily guidance, calendar, fortune and festival culture. • Greetings and red envelopes Copy a festival greeting in one tap.
