| 2024-12-06 |  | | Really like this app theirs times the print is to dark or in proper lighting it's like having an extra pair of eyes. Menu's especially that print super yiny. Easy to use & doesn't eat your battery like some apps. Great tool to have especially when reading the smallest of print. |
| 2024-11-18 |  | | This app had a nasty prolonged serious starting trouble which the developer has conveniently ignored and hasn't looked into the bug which is causing starting trouble. In November 2024, it doesn't work at all. Always keep a real magnifying glass ready if the app doesn't start until next year. Application developers with half-baked knowledge and abysmally poor testing skills have successfully infiltrated Google PlayStore. Beware of their sham apps. |
| 2024-11-08 |  | | FULL OF ADS that have a minuscule, if any close button, people need an app produced by giant companies as google, free and vetted for bugs, not little sheats that want to make their small buck filling their app with ads, and then distributing them AS FREE i'm effing all these small sheats app developers, as soon as i get anything better in terms of ads, i'm ditching and instantly forget about this app, like a used sock |
| 2024-09-25 |  | | Just got so far very little ads which is a plus for me. After using It for a little bit I think I am going to really like this one. Compared to the one that looks close to but it's not. Theirs you can only use inside the phone . But your is much much better you can actually take a picture of what you are making large so you can see it. Also you can take a picture of the thing. Unless something changes I would highly recommend this app.way to go guy's. |
| 2024-06-15 |  | | FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC & NO ADS! Android phones come with a magnifying widget, but you can't set it to shortcuts. This app does everything my widget does, plus I can set it to shortcuts, and in case I forgot to mention, IT HAS NO ADS. I don't know how these people make money, but I hope they're making some for this. |
| 2024-05-24 |  | | Woke up at 3am, couldn't get back to sleep, tried it for the first time while sitting in the living room. Everything seemed fine at first, until I double tapped the screen to try and get it to focus on an object. Then all hell broke loose. Despite my phone being on mute with all sound levels turned down to zero, my phone makes an incredibly loud and jarring "you can't do that" noise, the dog starts barking, my 8 month old starts crying, my wife is pissed and this app is getting deleted. |
| 2024-01-23 |  | | Omg, I love this app! I struggle all the time with fine print, bad/low lighting and constantly trying to hold what I'm trying to read steady while I try to focus. This app not only magnifies what you're trying to see it'll focus for you and even take a picture of it so you can put the annoying, hard to see item down and look at it clearly and easily on your device in all it's magnified glory! Thank you, thank you, thank you devs !!! |
| 2024-01-12 |  | | Works when you finally figure it out. At first it magnified me and I didn't know how to change it. Every time I tapped something, ads pop up, so you have to concentrate on where you left off; if you hit the same button, you get more ads. Even function keys will take you to an ad and it was both complicated and takes too much time to use. I'd be in the grocery store all day trying to read labels with this. I'm going to put a thin flat plastic magnifier under my phone case instead. Uninstalled. |
| 2023-12-22 |  | | Why would you want an app so difficult to navigate? If I wanted to see myself in magnification, I would look in a magnified mirror. I wanted it to show me what I was pointing the phone at. Try to figure out how to use it with constant ad interuptions. Go ahead. I generally don't complain about ads, but this is beyond ridiculous. |
| 2023-08-30 |  | | Several of the other magnifiers did not work worth a flip; the image would be distorted, and magnified so large as to be unrecognizable-just a bunch of video garbage. With this one, the image size is adjustable, and starts you out at 3,but goes to 10. The image itself is very clear and detailed; I tried it on my new Invicta watch, and was very impressed and blessed to see the detail in my watch. It's impressive. I'll stick with this one. You should also. |
