Schlecht

Maximal 8x Zoom das ist bitter für 2 Euro! Für Zeitung oder Rechnung, so das Rentner dieses lesen können aber das war es auch. MagnifyGlass ist kostenlos mit Werbung 4000 mal besser… wollte eine die was kostet wegen keiner Werbung aber das ist nicht die Vergrößerung die man erwartet und dann noch schlechte Auflösung bei Pflanzen.
