In the video that they advertise on Amazon, shows that you can ‘zoom out’ of the object (like a coin for instance) and still be able to view the image clearly. This is false! It is completely blurry! And the app wanted permission to access my photo album and other things in my phone, not happening! Not worth it IMO ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-09-05, version 1.5* It just plain old doesn’t work. And you need to give permission to all your pictures and info on an unsecured WiFi?! No thank you! If it would have taken zero stars that’s what it would have gotten. ### 1/5 — Beware, beware, beware *2022-08-31, version 1.5* Apparently, the only way this will work is if you use the unsecure wifi built into the device. In addition, you have to give it access to all of the photos and videos on your phone or tablet. The privacy comment says that all that they collect is “user content”. You are the user, you have to give them access to your content (in the form of your photos and videos), which they then collect. Seriously? ### 1/5 — Pathetic *2022-03-25, version 1.5* Bought the Wi-Fi microscope to use with my phone. Have downloaded the app onto 3 different devices running 3 different operating systems and cannot get the app working on 2 of those. It just doesn’t show the image. The other device has connected about 3-4 times out of about 100 tries but then freezes up. Waste of money. ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing frequently *2021-10-11, version 1.5* Once finally get in focus, then the app crshes. Guess I should have just went with one with screen. Its time comsuming lining up pic in between coins. Stand which came free for registering on website is not sturdy. Mqybe its just me not knowing how, but going quickly between a pic of whole object to the zoomed details it takes few mins. ### 1/5 — Sketchy *2021-08-31, version 1.5* You need my data for “other purposes”???? ### 1/5 — Scam! *2021-06-19, version 1.4* Cannot ever connect as Wi-fi link doesn’t come up. This is a scam! ### 1/5 — Does not work *2021-05-20, version 1.4* Followed all the steps carefully .. still no display on my iPhone 12 ### 1/5 — I can’t uninstall this App! *2021-05-18, version 1.4* It can’t be found in any of the screens and when you try to reinstall it from the App Store, the only option is to Open the App. What’s going on!!? ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-03-04, version 1.4* Can you fix it please as everytime I try to connect it to the WiFi thing that enables me to actually USE the microscope, it doesn’t connect meaning I can’t use the microscope. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-06-12, version 1.91* This app is supposed what is needed for a telescope to view images digitally… well it didn’t work and probably stole my data, really a sus app. ### 1/5 — Can’t get connected to WiFi *2025-04-18, version 1.91* I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app twice now and It won’t connect via Bluetooth. So now a useless product ### 1/5 — Does not work at all *2025-02-19, version 1.9* What a disappointment. This app does not even open. I get to the page that shows the WiFi connect, I click on “OK” and it just brings me to my settings. I cannot do anything with this. The microscope is charged and on. Does nothing- doesn’t even try to connect :( ### 1/5 — Used to work *2024-10-17, version 1.8* After this last update the app will no longer connect to my microscope. It just keeps telling me to connect and takes me to my wifi settings. But i am connected. Nice job guys! 👎🏻 ### 1/5 — Completely Disappointed *2024-06-07, version 1.6* Ordered this for work because someone else came to my company and had one and it was great but apparently it must be hit or miss… I ordered the exact same product and followed every step to the letter and got absolutely nothing. No pictures, no videos just the main app screen. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling again following all the steps exactly as stated and still nothing. And there are no options anywhere for troubleshooting if something like this happens, no one to reach out to for customer service of any kind. ### 1/5 — Does not connect *2024-05-18, version 1.6* Useless application ### 1/5 — Don’t use!!!! *2024-01-29, version 1.6* You will have to connect to an unsecured Wi-Fi built-in signal and then provide access to all your photos or the device will not work!!! This is a Chinese brand that wants to take advantage of your personal files/photos. Also it crashes after a few photos and you will have to restart the app. ### 1/5 — Awful *2023-08-29, version 1.6* I wish I would have read the app reviews before buying the telescope. Total waste. Awful app doesn’t connect easily. Wants complete open wifi. Whoever built this needs to be fired. ### 1/5 — Beware Chinese Spyware!!! *2023-01-31, version 1.5* Do not connect this to your WIFI!!!!! It will require you to make your WiFi public and then connect the software will collect data from all devices connected to WiFi even after deleting the app the spyware remains once you connect it to wifi!! Throw the free product away ### 1/5 — Awful *2022-11-05, version 1.5* I can’t delete the wifi network. HELP ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Aquarium enthusiast here *2022-09-19, version 1.5* Got this to check out my copepods. If you’re in a similar situation, do not hesitate to purchase this. 100% does the job. Also, there’s so many!!! ### 5/5 — Stopped working after update. *2021-09-14, version 1.5* Had to delete and reinstall to get into work. But still a great app. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2021-08-04, version 1.4* Works perfectly. Paired quickly with my iPhone as soon as I turned it on and connected to the device’s WiFi network. It’s amazing to see this micro-world that is beneath our noses this whole time. My kids and I can’t put it down! ### 5/5 — Works perfectly *2021-07-20, version 1.4* App works exactly as intended. Connects to device in seconds and takes photos/videos as advertised. Very happy with product. Not sure why others are complaining in reviews, this should easily be 5 stars ### 5/5 — I have figured out how it work *2021-06-30, version 1.4* You need to accept the app to search and find connectivity or it can’t find your device. I was feeling skeptical too but it’s not like some long range WiFi cyber attack it WiFi between the app and the specific device like a walkie talkie ### 5/5 — Great and underrated *2021-06-14, version 1.4* This app is incredible!!! 😃 It’s so easy to set up all you got to do is connect to it via wifi and get the app and BOOM 💥 it’s done and you can see things up really closely! Amazing app! 👍👍👍 ### 4/5 — I can’t complain *2023-01-25, version 1.5* Everyone, IMHO, needs a microscope to be able to attach to their computer. This, for my purposes,…IS the one. Now when they develop a scanning electron microscope for the desktop, I’ll plop down $500.00 to pick one of those up….!!!!😛😛😛😛😛😛😛 ### 3/5 — ? *2023-12-30, version 1.6* How do I transfer photos that I took in the app utilizing the digital telescope to my phone? ### 3/5 — Concerned *2021-11-12, version 1.5* Operates flawlessly but…..requires an unsecured wifi connection and complete access to the network and everything in the network to operate. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
