Ratings and reviews

Like what the app can do just not very compatible with my Google 7a camera.the resolution gets pretty grainy with just the small amount of zoom while I'm using it with taking photos or videos, looking at coins or something close up is fantastic and would like it to have an option to make the accessibility feature to be able to adjust key press length I'm always activating it by mistake. But great app can't wait to see in the future:)

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.
