Except for the convincing dodgy looking ads, this app is brilliant and very helpful.

App works fine except for inserting a video ad as it starts up, abruptly inserting itself in a quiet situation. Have a static ad if you must, but an ad with audio that you can't turn off? That's bad. If it happens again, I'll find another magnifier app.

An Absolutely brilliant app as I use this instead of my reading glasses in the day time and the night time and it comes with a handy light aswell. I will be recommending this app to all my family and friends too. Keep up the great work 😀👍

So handy for seeing the otherwise unseeable, and includes a light! Love it! I can now read the very small white print that many manufacturers continue to put on their packaging (eg pie heating instructions and recommended Vitamin B1 dosage), minor details clearly not meant to be read!

Very usefull. Works up close for reading fine print and at a distance for reading labels on high shelves at stores. UPDATE: ADDs are too anoying, so I will be uninstalling this app.

It takes a few seconds for the lens to focus, but helpful if viewing small lettering on maps. Funnily enough, the ad that came on was for Fugi film prints, which I had thought about trying to find anyway. I've had this app for two years now and found it useful when I needed it.

If you rotate the phone to get a wide view it rotate the UI takes half the screen and the camera is rotated making it unusable. The light keeps going off. Now every time I move the phone it takes ten seconds to show an add and turns the light off.

Ads are obnoxious. They happen on every load. I would like the option to buy them away. The magnifying glass function is good, allows intuitive adjustments to magnification.
