Your phone is the sign.
Type a message, tap SHOW, and it fills the screen in big, bright, scrolling letters. Readable across a dark room.
Android. Free to use, with a one time Pro unlock. Never a subscription.
What it does
Swipe between messages,
without leaving fullscreen.
This is the part other apps get wrong. Save your messages to a collection and swipe left or right to move between them mid show. One for the opening, one for the encore, one with the birthday name on it. No exiting, no retyping, no resetting colours in the dark with one hand.
Built for a dark room
The sign goes landscape, keeps the screen awake and turns the brightness up by itself. Tap to pause, swipe up to hold it still, double tap to close.
Make it yours
Eight text colours and eight backgrounds, four fonts including a dot matrix LED face, plus size and speed sliders. Scroll left, scroll right, or hold it still.
Your language, your script
The app speaks seven languages. Your message can be in Chinese, Thai, Arabic, Hindi or emoji. The fonts are built in, so nothing comes out as an empty box, and an Arabic message scrolls right to left.
Nothing to sign up for
No account, no email address, no server. Put the phone in airplane mode at the venue and every feature still works.
Screens
Type, tap, glow.
Scroll sideways to see more.
Pricing
One payment, not a subscription.
Everything that makes the sign readable is free and always will be. Scrolling, colours, speed, text size, keeping the screen awake and maximum brightness are never behind a payment.

Privacy
It collects nothing.
Not a shorter list of things collected. Nothing.
No data collected. No data shared.
Big Text has no analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising and no server belonging to us. Everything you type stays in the app's own storage on your phone. It asks for no permissions at all: not storage, not contacts, not location.
The one time it touches the network is when you open the Pro unlock screen or tap Restore purchases, because Google Play handles the payment. We never see your payment details, and Google tells the app only whether the unlock has been bought.
Hold up your phone.
A member's name at a concert. A name at arrivals. HAPPY BIRTHDAY across a restaurant. LAST ORDERS behind a bar. GO TEAM in a stadium.
