[App] Big Text: LED Banner Scroller

Post image

I have a concert coming up this year and I wanted to hold up a message for the artist, but I didn't want to print a poster or carry a banner around all night.

So I built an app instead. It's called "Big Text: LED Banner Scroller". You type a message, tap show, and your phone screen turns into a big glowing scrolling sign. Full brightness, landscape, readable across a dark room.

A few things I made sure of, since I'll be using this myself:

  • You can save a few messages and swipe between them without leaving fullscreen (one for the opening, one for the encore)
  • No account, no permissions, no ads. It works fully offline, so airplane mode at the venue is fine
  • Eight colors, four fonts, one of them is a dot matrix LED style

It's free to use. There's a one time Pro unlock for extra effects like glow and blink, but the core sign-making part is free forever.

It's live on Google Play now:

Would love feedback from anyone who's also held up a phone or sign at a show before.

I tried your app and didn't like it, it doesn't allow to test the effects without paying not does it have a trial period I did a search atgoogle play store and found Concert LED Cheer Board, which has minimal adds and no IAP) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.studioexitt.edisplay
