At the time of this rating, you can only flick to the right or left to move between elements on the screen. Whenever, choosing an item on the screen, voiceover‘s focus always jumps to the very top of the screen, and you have to navigate through all elements to get back to where you started from. ### 4/5 — Promising Start *2023-07-05, version 1.1* Looks nice. Surprised there are no enhanced contrast options though. They could go on a button where the Info button is now, move the Info button over the other side since it’s not a usage control. For reading text, lateral span is more important than vertical span, so in landscape mode it would be good if control buttons moved to the bottom instead of being on the right side. That would make it equally easy for left and right handers too. ### 5/5 — Great helper *2026-02-08* My phone is usually with me and this is a great app so accessible, right in my phone And it light up the page so I can actually read or see details! Wonderful! ### 5/5 — Not great *2025-10-23* ehhhh ### 5/5 — Thank you *2024-11-25* Very responsive and convenient ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-11-24* I am legally blind with some vision, and this application is a lifesaver. I can go to restaurants and read the menus with ease. I can do many things read mail. I definitely recommended. ### 5/5 — Needs more features… *2024-04-02, version 1.1* This is a great app. Very similar to my handheld explore 5 and 8…one thing though gang, can we add a colour mode function..even the basics of black on white, white on black would help…in a live use scenario…I don’t know the technicalities but ca it be done on apple. Like the magnifier app apple has….. Using on my 13’ iPad and old iPhone 11…. Love it as the controls are real intuitive. Also means less tech for me to take… ### 5/5 — Get this magnifier *2023-11-07* Great magnifier easy to use very crisp output high I highly recommend it ### 5/5 — Eye eye *2023-10-27, version 1.1* Excellent the human ware unit my partner used that she spent a lot of money for packed up so this is a great alternative. ## Most praised reviews (3 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best ever magnifier *2023-07-30, version 1.1* The image is so clear. Also the light is better and stronger than many torch apps ### 5/5 — Mr D. Coaches *2023-05-18, version 1.1* Bang tidy! ### 5/5 — Great image quality *2023-02-03* This app is very easy to use. Changing magnification is easy. The light helps in dim light conditions such as when I’m in a restaurant. It’s great also when I forget my reading glasses and I need to read something. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
