+# XXL Message app
+This app displays an incomming message with a very large
+font and scrolls the text. For people who can't read the
+menu font without glasses, this might be an alternative
+to the default messages UI app.
+
+When arrived, new messages are displayed instantly on the screen.
+When the message fully scrolled two times or
+if you touch the screen or press the button,
+the default clock is loaded.
+
+Nothing more, nothing less.
