### 5/5 — Top

*2022-05-27*

Muito bom

### 4/5 — Maybe I need to play with it more

*2020-05-04*

Maybe I need to really go through settings a little more but I’m finding this doesn’t magnify as high as it claims.  Focus then capture was helpful and the light does sync w my iPhone 7.  I’m a coin collector and I really need to see in depth to analyze varieties.  My other “microscope camera” was a failure as well so I’ll just play with this for a bit and see if I can figure out how to see closer w/o glare (already tried turning off flash).  It’s not bad for a free app though!
