I like the app as it helps my poor eyes. The only problem I have is it crashes a lot. After a few zoom adjustments, the app will freeze. I hope this issues gets fixed.

Great to see a magnifier app directly from Google. The contrast and flashlight adjustment settings are great. I also appreciate the ability to take a still image of something to view clearly without it saving to your device /Google Photos. However, I still find myself using the camera app / video mode + the screen magnifier for a more "stable" view of something I need to quickly see or read. (Pixel 6)

I'm glad Google finally made this and they need to make more apps for people with disabilities. But the image quality in this app is horrible. Unless your outside in sunlight the image quality when zoomed in is really bad. My other free magnifier app blows this one out of the water. But it's a start I suppose, as long as they improve on it and didn't just shove this out there just to say they have it.
