### 1/5 — Keeps Crashing

*2025-08-26*

I have used and recommended this app but the latest IPhone update has app not staying open.

**Developer response:** Which iPhone do you have? It should not crash on any iPhone even if it is incompatible.

### 5/5 — Bug hunter

*2025-06-05*

As an entomologist and field support for colleagues in the field I do not always have access to my microscope but the updated Macroscope is a perfect bridge that has allowed me to take photos people have asked to purchase.

### 5/5 — Wonderful app

*2025-02-14*

I’ve captured macro photographs from default camera app. But this one is just so much better. Shout out to the devs, great work. Captures beautiful macro shots. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Works GREAT!!

*2024-10-29*

Apple sets the limits on the iPhone versions, NOT the Devs! Negative reviews are due to APPLE not allowing the Dev to correctly limit which iPhones the app works on. So, some older iPhone users try the app, and it doesn't work! I have a new iPhone and this app works PERFECTLY!! Please consider the above info before hurting a Dev with a negative review.

**Developer response:** Thank you!

### 5/5 — Excellent camera!

*2024-03-09*

Thank you very much!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2024-02-20*

So easy to use and zooms in to the most amazing tiny details, thanks for making this app, it’s great!!

### 5/5 — 99 cents? Worth way way more!

*2024-02-05*

This is definitely my favorite app of 2024 so far. I actually purchased a stereo microscope for hundreds of dollars, which now sits mostly unused thanks to this amazing app. 

It only works on iPhones 13 and up. Double check the description to make sure.

It basically has one function. It turns your iPhone into a microscope camera. A very sharp microscope camera. Not the kind of microscope for looking at bacteria, but the kind you’d use to look at rocks or insects, I’m guessing between 20-45 X magnification. And since it uses the same lens that’s on the camera, you get the same image quality. Only way way bigger!

Yes there is an extremely shallow depth of field, you better have steady hands. Also it’s almost impossible to get the whole screen in focus. The aspect ration matches the iPhone so it’s a nice big space, easy to crop. 

There’s also a lightswitch, which is nice. 

A gripe is that the side buttons don’t work as they do on the regular camera. 

I’m getting phenomenal shots with this thing. And for only a dollar?

 Sheesh.
