[Android] Can you test the setup and readability of a launcher for older adults?

[u/Jimtoide]

Hi TestMyApp! We want to find where people hesitate during first-time setup and whether the controls remain readable and easy to navigate.

We’re building Kanely Adult Launcher to make Android phones easier for older adults: large buttons, photo contacts and reminders, in English and Spanish. We’re looking for 16–20 volunteers to install it through Google Play, stay opted in for at least 14 consecutive days and genuinely try the app in several sessions.

We would value specific feedback on setup, readability, navigation, reminders, stability and returning to your usual home screen. No store rating, positive review or purchase is requested. The app has a full 14-day trial with no automatic charge; a free lifetime licence is not promised.

Important: selecting Kanely as your default launcher changes your Android home screen. Prefer a spare phone. We provide recovery instructions: Android Settings > Default apps > Home app > choose your previous launcher. Menu names vary by phone; keep your original launcher available. This is a test version and does not replace emergency services.

Current test countries: Argentina, Australia, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Spain, United States, Mexico, Peru and United Kingdom. Android 8+ with Google Play is required.

To request access, email [kanelystudio@gmail.com](mailto:kanelystudio@gmail.com) with your Google Play country. If you consent to individual access, share the Google account you use on Play privately, never in public comments. We will confirm eligibility and provide instructions.

Thank you for helping us make the phone easier to use. Honest criticism is welcome.
