About this app

This is the best magnifying glass app in the Play Store - no doubt about it. Try it and see for yourself!
The app uses your phone's camera to magnify text or whatever comes to mind - be creative!
Great for the visually impaired, for soldering small joints and SMD components, and even for curious kids.
Features light mode, capture function, invert mode for the visually impaired and many other options.
Have been tested to work well on almost any Android device.

Ratings and reviews

One of the best. The clarity of it's focus is pure perfection! Still one of the best. However there appears to be a programming logic error in how it handles when, or if, you leave a favorable comment: if you don't respond immediately to the app's request to rate it - it gets stuck in a loop that thanks you for using the app and then shuts itself down or minimizes itself. "Extremely" annoying. Better now, kind of...

Great little app. Does what you would expect and does it well. I understand the need for ads, and feel the developers found a balance between usability and ads. I know you can zoom with camera, but this app has better quality (I know, same camera). I wish there was a way to change the order of the buttons at the bottom or turn on/off ones you want or do not use. I find with larger phones when using one hand, reaching all the way left for the freeze to be a stretch. This is my go-to magnify app.

This thing is excellent, not only for reading tiny print and looking at details in hand work, but it also takes macro photos way beyond the capability of my Samsung camera. One good feature is you can freeze a view and study it before turning it into a photo so you don't have to worry about stabilization or change of focus while hitting the shutter button. The pro version for $2 a year is a no-brainer.
