    Purchased for my 92 year old mother-in-law who needed something easy to use and understand. This is about as simple as you can get with a smart phone.

    Bought this for my 83 yr old mother. She had an Iphone and Lively is Android platform. So far, we are finding it very very hard to get used to. Best Buy was unable to transfer data from her Iphone to the Lively, so I had to share Contacts and set them up manually. Can't seem to get the thing to scan the QR Code for our Wifi or take the password. Removed the PIN requirement for Answering texts or calls - no way an 83 yr old stroke patient can manage clicking buttons, swipe up AFTER trying to remember a PIN to get past and actually get the call before it stops ringing. YIKES. As an Iphone user, I am struggling to get the phone setup for her to use without anxiety and frustration. Be very aware of what you are getting before taking the Lively Challenge. Sounds good, looks good, great idea -- but it's not as User friendly as it sounds.

    Like the large font, it’s easy to use, and the Lively “help desk” is readily available and helpful.

    My 89 yr old mother got this as a gift. She's never had a smart phone, so it took a little time to get used to it. Finally the old fip phone is gone.

    I expected it to be much simpler with much larger keys for my elderly mom to send texts, etc. The letters are even smaller than my iphone. I was told it was compatable with the hearing app Oleo, but found it glitchy. Not sure if I'm going to keep it.
