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

I would give this app 10 Stars if it was possible. I can't believe no ads no distractions - it even has a user manual. And it stays on as long as I want it to. I absolutely love it I have macular degeneration and my vision is very bad. I have tried many magnifiers of all types- they all have distortion and don't help at all this marvelous app is absolutely perfect for shopping reading, anything. Thank you so much for creating it

I've tried a handful of apps like this, & so far this is the best I've tried. No ads, no subscriptions, no misleading "free trials" - just plain free. And it has all the features I need. Simple! My only complaint is that it looks like it's in portrait mode, but it's actually in landscape mode. Pretty minor quibble. I don't use this every day, so it's not a big deal. Overall quite pleased with this app!

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.
