Turn your iPhone or iPad into a full-screen message with Make It Big. Type what you want to say, then tap to display it in large text that automatically fits your screen.\n\nShow a message across a room, communicate in a noisy place, or hold up a name at an airport. Make It Big is also a simple way for Deaf, hard-of-hearing and nonverbal people, and anyone who cannot or prefers not to speak, to share a written message.\n\nNo ads. No tracking. No account needed. Works offline.\n\nTYPE, TAP, SHOW\nTap to edit your message, then tap again to hide the keyboard and show it full screen. Short messages make the biggest impression.\n\nFOR EVERYDAY MOMENTS\nOrder in a busy café, share a note at a concert, show a pickup sign or communicate somewhere quiet without saying a word.\n\nWIDGETS, SIRI AND SHORTCUTS\nKeep your latest message handy with Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. Use Siri or the Shortcuts app to display a message, or open Make It Big from Control Center.\n\nPORTRAIT OR LANDSCAPE\nHold your device whichever way works best. Your message automatically resizes when you rotate the screen.\n\nYOUR MESSAGE, YOUR STYLE\nChoose a font and set your text and background colours. Swap the colours whenever you like, and turn haptic feedback on or off.\n\nSHOW IT AGAIN\nFind previous messages in Recents so you can display them again without retyping. Share individual messages as text, or share all your saved messages at once.\n\nOPTIONAL FLASH MODE\nShake your device to flash between your text and background colours. Adjust the flash speed or turn off shake to flash in Settings.\n\nWARNING: Flashing screens may trigger seizures in people with photosensitive epilepsy. Use flash mode responsibly.","facts":{"developer_id":441499584,"developer_url":"https://www.atrinh.com/big","first_released":"2011-11-15T23:23:26Z","support_url":"https://www.atrinh.com/","privacy_url":"https://www.atrinh.com/big/pp.html","website_url":"https://www.atrinh.com/big","app_version":"15","release_notes":"Find your messages more easily:\n\n• Search your recent messages to quickly find something you want to show again.\n• See how many messages are in Recents, or match your search.\n\nWe’ve also made a few improvements and fixes:\n\n• Added a glass background and an easier-to-see clear button to the message field on iOS 26 and later. The button now highlights when you tap it.\n• Refined Settings with clearer icons and an animation when swapping your text and background colours.\n• Fixed an issue where the button to close Settings could be hard to see with certain colour and light or dark mode combinations.\n• If your chosen font is no longer available, Make It Big now uses the default font instead of closing unexpectedly.\n• Fixed an issue with changing the app icon on iPhone and iPad.\n• The option to email the developer now only appears when Mail is set up on your device.\n\nMissed our last update?\nWe added support for Duo devices, more widget sizes, and new ways to open Make It Big from Control Center or show a message using Siri and Shortcuts. You can also share all your recent messages at once.","rating_current_version":4.75577,"rating_count_current_version":6584,"star_counts":[169,92,162,308,5782],"genres":["Utilities","Productivity"],"languages":["AF","AR","EU","BN","BS","BG","CA","HR","CS","DA","NL","EN","ET","FI","FR","GD","DE","EL","HE","HI","HU","IS","ID","GA","IT","JA","KO","LV","LT","MK","MS","MR","NB","FA","PL","PT","RO","RU","SR","ZH","SK","ES","SW","SV","TA","TE","TH","TR","UK","UR","VI","CY"],"content_advisories":null,"device_families":["iphone","ipad"],"made_for_iphone_duo":true,"chart":null},"freshness":{"apple_read_at":"2026-11-04T03:47:13.768Z","catalog_read_at":"2026-10-24T00:58:13.304Z","reviews_checked_at":"2026-10-29T02:43:12.732Z","summary_written_at":"2026-10-26T16:57:13.432Z","placed_at":"2026-10-16T16:27:45.876Z","scored_at":"2026-11-03T18:11:12.809Z"},"editorial":{"one_liner":"Types a message and displays it full screen in large text that fits the screen, with no account or ads.","what_is":"Make It Big turns an iPhone or iPad into a full-screen message display.
