Anyone who is living life large in the middle, needs this app. I’m 47 and just starting to need readers. This app saves me daily. I’ll have it until I’m not caring a phone anymore.Absolutely incredible close-up detailed pictures when you’re at your leisure. If you’re a coin collector, wow I can’t believe you don’t have this app. I’m not in the place financially to support right now but this is the first app that I am going to support. Very user-friendly when it comes to allocating shots. Only thing I recommend is that you get a small tripod or something to put the phone on. You'll be surprised. One more thing if you’re going to mess around with this app. Hold the phone at a distance in a normal focus first. Then approach the item until you start to get out of focus. At this time you zoom in to the item. I’m telling you it’s incredible. Thanks to the creator.This one’s a keeper. Much appreciated
Love it, with two exceptions

First I have to say that the app finally stopped working today, after upgrading my phone to iOS 14.2.I have used this app more and more in the last two years, as I get older and no longer have that 20/20 vision I had. It’s quick to launch, easy to zoom in and out. I’ve never quite understood how to get back to a live image after accidentally taking a snapshot. I like that it uses the flashlight to light up what I’m looking at. My biggest improvement request - besides making it work with iOS 14.2, would be to allow the app to remain “active” as long as you want. After a minute or so - depending on your phone setting - the screen starts to dim, the allows the phone to lock. You have to keep touching the screen to keep it live, which is inconvenient for one hand use. This would be like having to tap the screen while watching Netflix, so your phone doesn’t lock while watching.
Powerful app with thoughtful features

Use this app daily. Never any problems. Love all the features of this app - lit magnification especially helpful reading without having to turn on light or trying to read very small print on any surface. Great to take screen shot of enlarged print to save as text as reference. Don’t always have reading glasses handy to decipher very small print - yet my phone is always near me. Bravoto the developer(s).

I had cataract surgery about 2 1/2 years ago and now I can see far away but not close up. It was just the opposite. It is frustrating. I magnified small printing on a computer casing but was shaking enough to where it was still hard to read but I went ahead and snapped a picture and it came out clear and readable. Thanks for making life a little bit easier.
