This happened a few days ago when I paid for the annual subscription. I need help ### 2/5 — What is the difference between… *2026-04-04* to the digital zoom of my iPhone - I do not see any difference! I tried at max zoom to read a far away text, none of the cams could make it readable! ### 3/5 — sometimes videos don’t save! *2022-04-15, version 4.8* in general this app is good if you want to take a picture/video of something zoomed up more than the normal iphone camera would BUT ive found that sometimes if i’m recording a video, it suddenly freezes sometimes and then i have to stop recording and start again. and other times i’m recording a video and press stop and it never ends up saving the video!! it’s quite frustrating actually… but this normally only happens if i’m continuously using the app for a while, otherwise in general it’s an alright app :/ ### 3/5 — Good Zoom In Camera & Video App *2021-10-25, version 4.8* This app is great for zooming in further than you can with your normal phone’s camera. As technology improves I’d really love to see an improvement in photo and video resolution/clarity. I’d also like there to be a feature where the camera shutter sound can be turned off in the settings for the app, as this sound can be irritating plus unwanted at times. ### 4/5 — Room for improvement *2020-07-27, version 4.7* A little grainy but it really gets you up close & personal ! Worth $2 !! ### 2/5 — Has bugs will not record *2020-06-30, version 4.7* This app has just been purchased and will not record. It’s starts and stops. Iv memory in my phone and restarted the app a number of times. Although not a lot of money it is frustrating when I paid extra in app for the video element ### 2/5 — Usage of new cameras *2020-03-06, version 4.7* Please add new iphone 11/pro cameras to your app, telephoto lens is a must Please update your app asap or give me full refund ### 1/5 — No better zoom than regular iPhone X camera *2019-05-08, version 4.3* I bought this thinking it would have much better zoom capabilities then the regular camera that comes loaded onto an iPhone X. It does not zoom in any closer and in fact has worse clarity and focus. ### 1/5 — Not good *2019-03-23, version 4.3* i need my refund ### 1/5 — Where’s the touch anywhere feature? *2019-03-22, version 4.3* No where is the answer. Bummed ### 2/5 — Behaves errtically *2019-03-19, version 4.3* Takes multiple exposures Won’t always go to highest view Very unpredictable Will stick with apples camera,even though it lacks full magnificatuion ### 1/5 — Qualité du zoom nullissime *2018-12-30* À partir de 6x la qualité est inexploitable. Pire encore , il faut encore payer pour avoir le zoom sur de la vidéo. Belle arnaque ! ### 1/5 — Not that good *2018-10-27, version 4.3* Lose a lot of detail, very grainy ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Update *2026-05-12, version 4.9.1* I have used this app as my go to camera for years. But the last update has made it unusable and I am forced to use a different camera app ### 1/5 — Zwangs-Probeabo *2026-04-11* Ansonsten läuft gar nichts! Und die 0,99 ct für den Videozoom tauchen wahrscheinlich auch nur dann auf, wenn man das Abo abgeschlossen hat. Direkt wieder gelöscht! ### 1/5 — Mislead by AI *2025-02-03, version 4.8* Not what I was looking for. The iPad camera is still ridiculously close to everything and I have to sit far back to get a decent shot of my desk. I honestly think this will be the last iPad I get for providing such a senseless function. I’ll look but if this problem hasn’t been corrected I’m afraid I’m not interested… I shouldn’t have had to pay for an app that doesn’t even rectify the problem. ### 1/5 — No difference in zoom *2024-08-10, version 4.8* Thought this would be helpful to increase zoom. Exactly the same as the camera zoom on the phone but less definition. ### 1/5 — Do not not change in zoom lvl *2023-07-03, version 4.8* No change I want my refund ### 1/5 — Horrible app! Scam *2022-09-23, version 4.8* Your iphone can do better zoom and quality without this app! ### 1/5 — Camera Zoom *2020-11-16, version 4.8* No better than the free apps that do the same thing. Total waste of money. App spends more time trying to focus than anything else. Garbage ### 1/5 — Doesn’t stabilize at all moon didn’t look anything like the one in their picture *2020-10-03, version 4.8* TRASH! ### 1/5 — Обман *2019-12-11* Сначала заплати за установку приложения, потом за саму функцию видео отдельно👎👎👎 ### 1/5 — LITERALLY DO NOT BUY THIS! *2019-08-10, version 4.3* I bought it to zoom with the front camera for videos and I PAYED $2 FOR ZOOMING WITH VIDEO AND IT DOESNT TAKE VIDEOS IT JUST TAKES PICTURES WEN YOU HIT THE VIDEO BUTTON BECAUSE IT STOPS RECORDING EVERY TIME IT RE-FOCUSES WHICH IS EVERY 2 SECONDS. AN ACTUAL RIPOFF!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 100x *2026-05-30, version 4.9.1* I was wondering if you can create another Camera Zoom app that can go up to 100x please? ### 5/5 — Worked fine for me *2023-01-22, version 4.8* When I looked through the reviews, most of the negative reviews seem to be pretty old. It seems sort of silly to complain about fuzziness when you are talking about digital zoom at 50x with an iPhone lens. You are not going to get the same quality with your iPhone zoomed with this app as you would with a top drawer zoom lens on an SLR camera. For point and shoot type pictures and just to get a little closer on portrait shots. It works just fine. ### 5/5 — It needs a 60fps option *2022-01-16, version 4.8* I was wondering if you could include a 60fps option, so it can look more lively please? ### 5/5 — Just the app I was looking for! *2021-06-06, version 4.8* It took me ages to find an app that took better photos/videos than the iPhone camera but retained the quality (for me - 12 pro max) and one that had a simple app interface. This has delivered FAR better results than I was expecting! The quality is so sharp and clear, and the ability to zoom into videos is far smoother (you use a slider to zoom in) than doing it through the original camera app where you have to pinch each time (can also record in HD or 4K). For the sake of a few pence, everyone should have this! So impressed. ### 5/5 — Wird immer besser *2019-10-13* Natürlich digitaler Zoom , aber wenn man das iPhone Foto groß zieht ist es auch nicht besser Vielleicht kann man die Kanten noch etwas besser glätten Absolute Empfehlung ### 5/5 — Excellent *2019-03-30, version 4.3* Great response and zoom ability ### 5/5 — Camara Zoom *2018-11-26, version 4.3* It works great use it all the time takes great close ups! Thanks! ### 5/5 — Update the app *2017-11-17, version 4.2.1* Please update this app to work on iOS 11 and add a pause and resume feature and YouTube uploader thanks ### 5/5 — Need help *2017-02-23, version 4.2.1* I've looked and looked on the App Store on the application itself is just want to clean out the library and download groups as opposed to one photo at a time and there's no frequent questions or contact your help or anything it takes pictures good but the management is weak ### 5/5 — "Zoom Enabled" crashes on iPhone 6S Plus *2015-12-11, version 4.2.1* With iOS9, the "Zoom Enabled" interferences started. At first only after using the camera. Update to 9.1 if got worse. With update to 9.2 it crashes the phone at different times and nothing seems to connect to what I was doing. Deleted Camera Zoom 4 and problem stopped for me. I really like the app, except for this problem with iOS9. I'm keeping it off the phone for now. I will check back for notices later. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
