About this app

weZoom as a low vision aid that extends the functionality and accessibility of basic magnifier and 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

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.

Good user interface and features. Better than several other 'magnifying' apps I tried. Simple 4 buttons with different colors, different color and high contrast filters to easy reading text. Able to capture half a page of text and then zoom in up to 8X to read, depends on your vision. Brace phone or hands against solid object to reduce shake and get clearer text. Developer created app to help others with low vision like himself, for FREE. Give clear and constructive feedback so he can help you

I'm not sure what the purpose of this app really is but it does not work to zoom in on text messages and, although the camera feature works for zooming, So does the controls on my camera app. Uninstalled.
