1. 5/5Amazing App

   I'm an Electronics Technician and use this app at 10 times a week looking at components on circuit boards and looking at the really small writing on the components and devices that I work on. I use it to get MAC addresses serial numbers that are really hard to read in low light settings. I also like the feature that reverses the color so that you get a different view it helped me find a hairline crack in a circuit board once when I couldn't see it in normal view. I really do use this for everything small. I have told many people about this app and they have all loved it for different reasons. I paid for the pro version because I wanted the extra features but the free version is great too! You will be happy that you downloaded this app.

2. 5/5Very helpful app

   I’ve used this app at work numerous time with perfect results. I work in a chemical lab on graveyard shift and my supervisor is never there because he works days but if I have an issue and need his help, all I do is use this app and take nice closeup pics of what I’m talking about and he knows exactly what I’m asking without even being there. I would never be able to do that with the regular camera on my phone. Well done. But would it be possible to allow us to choose which side of the screen to have the camera button on. I’m right handed and have something in my left hand to take a pic of and it’s very difficult to hold the phone and take a picture.

3. 5/5Use daily

   I'm a sharpener for the hair industry and have about 38,000 pictures on my phone. This app is probably used on a majority of them (maybe 10 years with zero problem). Easy to use also. The only thing missing is video with this close-up resolution. The pictures use very little data versus the standard camera on a phone, which is megabytes, making it easier to send them and post. This app has been irreplaceable and with an added macro lens, there's not much that can hide. It's also fantastic for splinters. Lots of positive comments about the good pictures on Instagram taken with it. I'm very happy with it and will continue to use it. Thank you so much..

4. 5/5Perfect!

   This is my new favorite app! Very cool and very useful! I can now be without my reading glasses and get by! Good for reading fine print, rX bottles, serial numbers, menus etc.. Not so practical for extensive reading such as books or magazines. Use like you would a magnifying glass and you'll appreciate it. As a bonus, use the zoom feature and point it across the street (or wherever) and you have portable binoculars! (Monocular to be more accurate) very cool!! Anyhow, this should be standard issue on every phone! Even the free version is handy but I bought the pro for enhanced features AND to support the developers of such a well crafted app. 😀

5. 3/5Not for micro type

   I bought the App as an experiment. I wanted to see if it would allow me to magnify and zoom in on the microtype checks and other documents as authenticity check. You can easily see the type with the traditional magnifying glass. It did not work with microtype on the signature line of the check despite it being high contrast, and it did not work with the micro type on the back of a drivers license. I attempted to give my review no waiting whatsoever. Apple would not let me do this. I am giving it three stars because it did not do what I was looking forward to do, but would've preferred to give it no stars since I'm not particularly sure that it ever claimed to be able to do it. I simply wanted to warn people that it would not work for very fine type.
