About this app

weZoom inst is a camera-based magnifying glass to zoom in on things around you. As a low vision aid it extends the functionality and accessibility of basic magnifying glass apps by adding color filter modes, themes, intuitive gesture control and one-hand operation.

The main goal of this app is to support people with visual impairments by providing an easy to use digital magnifier.

The main features are:
• Color filter modes for high contrast (black-white, black-yellow, blue-white, blue-yellow, black-green)
• Adjustable threshold for the color filter modes
• Smooth magnification up to 8x (extendable zoom levels)
• Exposure compensation
• Switch between manual focus and auto-focus
• Freeze of the live video preview (you can still change the magnification level in this state)
• Photo sharing (e.g. with massenger apps)
• Volume key actions can be enabled
• Toogle to hide all other ui elements (fullscreen mode) to use more of the screen for zooming - very useful in combination with the volume key actions

Ratings and reviews

For low vision people, this app has so many viewing options and abilities. You can change the contrast color filter, exposure of the text and I can even move the settings to the left side. (left-handed). No one thinks of that! This app takes the place of carrying a magnifier and it's better anyway. Travel will be so much easier. I'm so glad a reddit user said to try it.

This is the BEST magnifier in the play store. I tried allot of them. The biggest plus for me (or anyone concerned with security) is minimum permissions I don't see why all the other magnifiers need location, WIFI, Phone info, etc., also No ads , and the camera works. I don't use the filters and I wish if you uncheck all of them the big A on the screen would go away. Also not sure what the check box in the settings does. To the developer Thank you.

Exceptional Magnifying Glass App; doesn't hassle you or show ads. It doesn't even have a donation link if you dig for it. Please be sure you check the manual to learn about the available settings. The BETA Gestures are not on by default, but they work pretty well. There's quite a few settings to play around with beyond just the adjustments. It's great. The UI is the only place I wish felt "better" but I honestly cannot offer what to change.
