## What is Magnifying Glass & Mirror?

Simple app uses your camera to magnify objects.
You can switch to the front camera and use as a mirror with light bars for dim lighting. A simple tap on the screen freezes the image for a closer look and some fine adjustments if you like. You can pinch to zoom, rotate, and pan the frozen image and also make adjustments to brightness and contrast. A save button lets you send the final image to your Photos. There is even a toggle button to invert the colors and create a negative image.

We hope you enjoy the app and find it “A Surprisingly Useful Tool”!
