1. 5/5The best all-purpose magnifier

   In my search for the clearest microscopic details on an ancient iPhone 12 Pro Max, I must have installed and tested practically every 3rd party magnify/zoom app - free and pay. For overall features and usability, this app can’t be beat. For specifics, here’s where some other apps shine, and that’s OK: 1. Image stabilization. 2. Manual tweaking/multiple lens selection to get the absolute best quality picture based on lighting conditions. 3. Intuitive controls 🤣 That last one is mostly joking. By and large it all makes sense. The only part missing is pinch-to-zoom. If there are too many gestures and adding it causes other gestures to go unregistered or trigger too easily, may I humbly suggest triple tap (or whatever) to enter/exit pinch-to-zoom mode? This feature would be really nice, I’m just saying! Aside from that, here’s a few bugs: - Tapping the “snap picture” button in rapid succession immediately causes the app to lock up. - The rotate picture can stay locked and keep spinning around, requiring the app to be killed. The reset button doesn’t fix this. I will update if I ever notice what triggers it. - tapping more than one button at a time generally leads to lockups more often than not. It’s not too hard to hit two buttons at once by mistake. Things worth checking out if you are still into developing this: 1. Adding support for using multiple lenses at once and combing the pictures to increase clarity. 2. Adding stabilization and increased picture quality via multi-frame super resolution. It’s a nifty way to use shaky images for good purposes. I think the phones already do this to some degree. 3. Option to load pictures and apply the current filters to them. 4. Add the full range of filtering in freeze mode. Thank you for this app, it really is great!

2. 5/5Not what you would expect! 😃

   I just got this app to zoom in to something, I thought after that I would delete ot but there is actually some other cool features! And if your not sure what to do here is something fun: take a random picture of something, zoom in, and ask somebody to guess what it is then zoom out and reveal the answer. Plus Its free, and Its actually pretty usfull too, try it out trust me its worth it!

3. 4/5Here’s the scoop...

   This app is great, but as an Ms and advanced Sjogren’s Syndrom patient, who will always be on chemo weekly for the rest of my life, I do have one major suggestion because i’m sure that I’m not the only one who has problems seeing. Now, like I said, this app is great. But, the major downfall is that all of these apps doThe same thing; which is, they only allow you to look at things outside of the phone itself. I have been looking for something that will allow me to magnify the words within apps, Google searches, and websites within the phone itself. I can’t imagine that this is a hard thing to do in and of itself. I’m hoping the developer reads my suggestion as I have only suggested this to this company because I’d like this magnifier the best out of all of them that I have tried. I’m also hoping for a response from them. This way, I would like to know if it is something that could be done or not. Thank you, and it Vance, for reading my suggestion ends taking it into consideration. I greatly appreciate your time and understanding. 𝕃𝕠𝕧𝕖 & 𝔹𝕝𝕖𝕤𝕤𝕚𝕟𝕘𝕤 , 🙏🏻 𝒮𝒽𝒶𝓇𝑜𝓃 💜

4. 5/5HAVING A BLAST!!!

   Really didn’t expect much from this app because it’s free but I am having a blast creating incredible photos!!! I also use it as a magnifying glass and that works great as well. I’m also able to see things as though I was looking through microscope. Not a professional one mind you but still images are incredible! This app is great and so is the price! FREE!!!

5. 2/5Why collect user information?

   Why does it collect and send out user information. It is not any ones else business on what I use for reading small text on a pill bottle or food ingredients on a bottle or can. I can not see why it sends information about me out on the internet every time it it used. Why is someone collecting information on what I read in books the print is small to my older eyes so I have to use a magnifying glass now even with glasses. I just do not see any need what so ever for it to report back to someone my location and what other information someone seems so set on collecting on me. I went to Harbor Freight store and bought for less than 5 bucks a real old fashioned no batteries required, non-transmitting Original REAL Magnifying glass designed for using both eyes at the same time ( with real glass no electronics in it to go out on it and no battery drain when I use it ) I keep it next to my chair when I want to read books now. It just works for me and it’s really simple. Not every thing is on line, that is why they sell books. Not every book is in large print and why buy new books if the old ones are still good, just now the print is too small to read normally. I still use the app at stores sometimes. I have not heard a satisfactory answer on WHY it needs to SPY ON ME AND REPORT BACK IN ON ME when it’s used. What would make it better is if it did not spy on me and report back in on me to someone some where when I use it. If you sold a version that did exactly that then I would buy that. That one REPORTING BACK to BIG BROTHER FEATURE is what really turns me off about this app. If sold without that feature I would buy it. And hiding it phoning home while it still does it, does not count. If it did not collect data and spy and report in on me it would of been rated higher. Does anyone make any apps that don’t do that anymore. If you need to send a update fine, I just do not feel good about being under a magnifying glass myself, just because I am older now and I have to use one. Why does someone need to collect data on me and report in on me to know every time I use it?
