### 5/5 — Simple and effective

*2026-07-08*

Just what I was looking for to have customization on my iPhone.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review! I’m glad Macro Lens gives you the features you were looking for. If you have any suggestions for new features or improvements, let me know!

### 1/5 — A massive failure.

*2026-06-08*

Don’t bother if on an iPhone, you can’t even accept the permissions as the page is too big for the screen.  Terrible.

**Developer response:** Thank you for reporting this issue, and sorry for the inconvenience. The permission screen layout bug has been fixed in the newly released version 1.8.1. Please update to the latest version and give it another try. And thanks for helping improve Macro Lens!

### 5/5 — Focus stacking + Raw

*2026-05-06*

Excellent app, but a focus stacking shooting option would be greatly appreciated + plus a raw image file storage in .DNG of the shots.🙌

### 5/5 — Whut

*2026-04-05*

Great app for beginners or curious people not sure why it’s not bigger

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review! I’m glad to hear that Macro Lens feels approachable and has been useful for macro photography. If you have any suggestions for improvements, feel free to share them.

### 5/5 — 数あるマクロカメラ、拡大鏡アプリで1番良かった

*2025-12-21*

デフォルトのカメラアプリだと機能的に痒いところに手が届かないことが不満でした。他の評価の高い国産アプリでも画質が粗かったり、機能的に微妙だったり。

しかしこのマクロカメラアプリは、ライトのオンオフやオートフォーカス機能も使えて、物体に近付けて撮ったときも画質がかなり鮮明に撮れるので仕事で使うときに重宝しています。

このクオリティーで無料なのに、レビューや評価も全然ないのが信じられないくらい素晴らしいアプリです。

あと一つだけバグを発見しました。ライト付けたままアプリを閉じるとアプリに戻ったときにライトのボタンが効かなくなります。アプリをシャットダウンして再起動すると直りました。

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the detailed feedback and for using Macro Lens. I’m really happy to hear the flashlight and auto-focus feature, and the image quality are helping you! Also, thank you for reporting the flashlight bug. The newly released version 1.6 fixes this issue and includes more improvements to the app. If you have any feature requests or notice anything else, feel free to contact me. I’m always improving the app based on user feedback. Thanks again for your support!

### 5/5 — Cool

*2025-11-28*

Vraiment vraiment cool pour la macro et pour l’auto focus.
INCROYABLE !!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review! I’m really glad you’re enjoying these features. If you have any suggestions for new features or improvements, I’d love to hear them!

### 5/5 — Simple and Effective App

*2025-07-22*

This app is perfect for taking close-up photos! I have been identifying some of the amazing insects in my garden using the iNaturalist app and Macro Lens is the perfect app to pair with it. The app is much better than the camera on my iPhone SE at focusing up close and capturing the details that make identifying tiny creatures easier.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the great feedback! I love hearing that Macro Lens is helping with your insect photography. If there’s anything that could make the app even better for you, feel free to let me know. I’m always improving it based on user feedback.

### 1/5 — Worst scam

*2025-06-01*

Scam are so bad these days

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear you had a negative impression of the app. Just wondering, what exactly didn’t work for you? The app is free and does exactly what it promises. Anyone can use it without any cost or risk. If something didn’t work as expected, I’d appreciate the chance to better understand your feedback. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, and I look forward to hearing from you!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2025-02-21*

Wish it did videos but it’s amazing for those close up business photos of my products!
Recommend!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review!
Macro Lens just received video recording in the newly released version 1.4. Hope you enjoy this new addition to the app.
Stay tuned for more updates and features. And don’t hesitate to request any other features you’d like to see!
