SHAKY, SHAYKY POO *2026-04-17, version 4.1* VERY GOOD but very shaky. ### 4/5 — Zoom Zoom *2025-09-22, version 3.9* VERY GOOD but very shaky. ### 4/5 — Оч *2025-08-21* Это только для айфон а у меня планшет ### 2/5 — Blurry *2025-08-01, version 3.8* The closeup zoom is so blurry. Not worth the money and cannot get a refund. Don’t pay for Pro. ### 1/5 — Rip off *2025-06-27, version 3.8* Terrible app. I downloaded to see how it work before purchasing it. But everytime I try to zoom in, ads pop up and it zooms back out after that ad. So, I’m not sure if it was worth buying. So, don’t waste your time trying this app. ### 1/5 — I HATHK EB sissy *2025-05-31, version 3.8* Mdndwkoxgsnw ### 1/5 — Completely useless. *2025-05-31, version 3.8* Will be requesting a refund since the one and only thing I wanted to get a close view of doesn’t work even with the 3.99 upgrade. It’s just a blurry mess. This is a completely useless app. Beware. ### 1/5 — Never opened. Just crashes. *2025-05-24, version 3.8* Waste of money. Glitches and closes. Deleted and reloaded and restarted phone. Same issue. Save your money. ### 3/5 — Could be great with a bit more effort from Devs! *2025-05-22, version 3.8* I paid for premium, otherwise it’s not worth downloading. I only wish they could do something to help stabilize the view… I have to lean and brace my arm or hand on something while using this app or it just flutters, shakes , I’m not sure how to describe it. Once I’m able to hold it steady, it works great pro version! Just wish they would do something to help this. I would totally share and recommend to friends and family if the Developers could fix this problem. ### 1/5 — RIDICULOUS APP *2025-05-21, version 3.8* Why advertise this app as free if you cannot use it unless you pay. The 5 star reviews are clearly planted. Absolutely ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Nope *2025-05-18, version 3.8* Not user friendly and I refuse to pay for something like this ### 1/5 — Bad trial *2025-05-11, version 3.8* The free version has less power than the camera so no way to see if it’s worth paying for. And after getting 3 pop ads in less than 30 seconds it was just not worth the effort to continue looking into ### 1/5 — Not working on iPhone 14 *2025-03-02* Waste of time...the screen froze at Ad tracking option ### 1/5 — WHY ?? *2025-02-22, version 3.8* I downloaded your app and was very excited to try it out. I have been sooo frustrated trying to use it though :-( It was free pro through APPADVICE. But everrrry time I try to use it it takes me back to the settings and wants me to “ go to pro “ so …. I hit the restore purchase. It says it’s restored. But … you guessed it, it is still wanting me to upgrade. Please for my sanity, fix it please so I can play and check out your app, and give a revised review. But if you drive me crazy, well, things could go ….. 😉 thank you 😊 ### 1/5 — 0 stars. *2025-02-22, version 3.8* Dishonest developer. Untrue advertising of free lifetime subscription today. He or she also did this other times apparently, as you can read about in past reviews. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2026-06-29, version 4.1* This hardly zooms at all. Your camera zooms about as far as AS THIS does it, let you zoom in 2x and then demands your credit card. A total waste of time junk of junk ### 1/5 — WHAT A WASTE OF STORAGE *2026-06-26, version 4.1* When I got this app, I opened it and it had two screens that are depressed. Continue on and when I got to the third screen that you press continue on it wouldn’t let me click continue so I completely bought it and it was a horrible app. ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-05-31, version 4.1* I downloaded this app and tried to use it but it wouldn’t let me even get to the camera part. when you first get it, it has the screen pop-up you push continue and then continue again and then continue again. The third continue didn’t even press and I was just stuck on that screen no matter how many times I tried. Don’t recommend I’m sure there’s better options ### 1/5 — Don’t Download!!! Total waste *2025-12-30, version 4.1* All this app does is make you watch an advertisement every single time you press something. Your camera does the same thing as this app but better, easier to use, & w/o the big headaches! They try to make you upgrade to a subscription (not cheap) off the first page/prompt — when you 1st open the app. Even the zoom bar is not user friendly, try to zoom-in slowly it suddenly jumps to a minute long commercial! When the ad is over, you have to restart, then as soon as you try to start all over, it will just repeat the same thing… another long advertisement! Every step of using it is an advertisement, advertisement, advertisement… these creators are SHAMELESS This app is nothing but a pure ploy for forcing you to watch advertisement & upgrade to do anything useful with it. Absolutely DISGUSTING! Straight shady, crooked app creators Like I said just use your built-in camera, the “binoculars due nothing new or diff, yet cam works far better & is FREE. ### 1/5 — Update? *2025-11-14, version 4.0* It crashes when clicking on settings ### 1/5 — 画面が進まない *2025-10-25* 3つ目の「次へ」を押しても全く反応がなく進みません ### 1/5 — Of course there’s a fee *2025-09-06, version 3.9* So annoyed that you suck people in by saying it’s free only to need them to pay six dollars just to use any functionality ### 1/5 — Clarity lacking *2025-07-24, version 3.8* Yes you can zoom in many times over but the now zoomed image you see is grainy, which worsens the ability to see clearly what you wanted to see close up. You can take a snapshot of the zoomed image you see in viewfinder but don’t bother. The resulting snapshot is too poor to print it , save it or show to anyone. Just delete and delete this app too ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY THIS *2025-07-08, version 3.8* Please fix when I first opened the app it’s says to enable ad tracking and I don’t know how or what it is ### 1/5 — Not free at all *2025-07-04, version 3.8* I wanted a free binocular app but it charges to see anything that I can’t see with my eyes when there half closed. I can zoom in more with my camera. I wold rather use real binoculars. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ignore users’ mistaken or improper complaints. If shaky that’s on you. If you don’t like ads, pay. *2026-04-28, version 4.1* Ignore users’ mistaken or improper complaints. If shaky that’s on you. If you don’t like ads, pay the developer. It is NOT “fuzzy” with MY 16 Pro. ### 5/5 — Unsubscribe *2025-09-17, version 3.9* I’ve been trying to cancel the subscription but it won’t allow me to do itnl ### 5/5 — Grand Teton *2025-09-15, version 3.9* Just before leaving on a trip to the Grand Tetons’s Wyoming, i purchased Binoculars for my iPhone and so happy i did ! Moose at jenny lake, bears at Yellowstone, on and i mean on take care everyone! ### 5/5 — Happy *2025-03-13, version 3.8* Thank you like app I can see the sun up close ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2025-02-21, version 3.8* Binoculars work great, and snapshots go right into photos, perfect! Would be nice to have the option of no border frame and minimal HUD and/or additional frame overlay options. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Write a review *2024-12-08, version 3.7* Write a review ### 5/5 — 123x zoom!!! *2024-10-24, version 3.7* All you have to do is upgrade for £3.99 and you get 123xzoom!! Please buy it's so worth it! ### 5/5 — Love these!! *2024-10-22, version 3.7* When I first seen the app I was like nah this ain’t guna be worth the time to download but I was 100% wrong I love this app especially when I’m fishing or hunting lol ### 5/5 — This app is great *2024-08-04, version 3.6* This app is such a scam I bought it for 4$ which is pretty cheap but I could’ve used it for sum else it’s so blurry past 8-9x ### 5/5 — Binoculars *2024-07-08, version 3.5* No only binoculars but also take pictures of anything in sights Love it! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
