I like that I can take pictures of what I am looking, Also the way it can freeze the image and not have to keep it. I use it more than I use my camera. Perfect way to check out small things and perfect for coin collections. ### 5/5 — When emphasis matters *2025-11-10, version 3.4* When emphasis matters, my Magnifying Glass and Mirror/app Reveals what the Eye/s will not see & through my Magnifying /Mirror App reveals the truth for me! & to me that is a priceless tool to have, so download: Magnifying Glass & Mirror App, today! A “Must have” profitable app/gadget to access quickly off my phone! Thank you & truly use & enjoy mine throughly!😊 ### 5/5 — Great utility for the phone *2025-11-08, version 3.4* This is a must have if you need to read fine print, find something in the dark or just capture an image that you decide if you want to add to your photos. It doesn’t even collect data from you for the iPhone app anyway. ### 5/5 — Very good free program *2025-10-11, version 3.4* They did a great job of making it easy to magnify in different positions, and add light if needed. Also, very simple to take a picture of what you’re magnifying if needed. I’ve paid for a lot of apps that were a waste. I would gladly pay a little bit for this one and they don’t charge anything. ### 5/5 — awesome *2025-09-28, version 3.4* magnifier is a great app ### 5/5 — Amazing! No more eye strain. *2025-08-02, version 3.3* I wish I would have known about this sooner. This free app not only magnifies at great strengths, but it can freeze an image so you can zoom in using the traditional two finger method for photos. I just love it! Thank You! ### 5/5 — Very good *2025-08-01, version 3.3* Is very easy to use ### 5/5 — Sweet view *2025-07-07, version 3.3* It is so sweet cause helps me see better and very magnified when I misplace my glasses and has a light too. I recommend ### 5/5 — Nice *2025-06-12, version 3.3* Awesome ### 4/5 — Owl pellet *2025-05-22, version 3.3* This is an owl pellet from a juvenile screech owl good detail, and clear ### 5/5 — The reason *2025-05-11, version 3.3* I mainly like it because you click the black and white rectangle and you change the look and it is amazing for magnifying anything ### 5/5 — IM RICH!! *2025-05-01, version 3.3* This app made me see what quarter had cod we trust ### 5/5 — Love it! *2025-03-21, version 3.3* I didn’t know I had access to a magnifying glass on my iPhone! I “goggled” it and voila!I use the magnifying glass to try to read service treatment records when physicians were still using cursive in medical notes. ### 5/5 — Excellent app. *2025-01-14, version 3.3* Excellent app. Very easy and useful to magnify and take pictures. Thanks ### 5/5 — Nice! *2025-01-13, version 3.3* Just installed this app and works great; so far so good. ### 5/5 — Terrific Mirror and Magnifier! *2025-01-09, version 3.3* Kudos to the developer for not monetizing this simple yet excellent app. ### 5/5 — Great *2024-11-25, version 3.3* I am very satisfied with this magnifying glass almost as if I was holding the real thing. I needed to read an instruction guide to a smoking aid and now I won’t accidentally overdose on nicotine thanks…. ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-09-26, version 3.3* This is wonderful and allows me to read really small print. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2026-06-06, version 3.4* I didn’t even open the app. After I downloaded it my phone started overheating and my battery was draining faster than I could charge my phone. I removed the app and now my phone is good again. ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-05-22, version 3.3* Can’t do anything with this app. ### 1/5 — No, this is not *2024-07-18, version 3.3* Anyway How do you identify it? ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2024-04-14, version 3.3* The nonstop ADs make this App unusable it was a total waste of my time ### 1/5 — No Difference from Others *2023-09-14, version 3.3* And that includes not having ability (which it claims) to switch camera view. It does have one major difference from most other apps, and that is offering no way to contact developer to ask a question. Tsk tsk. Bye-bye! ### 1/5 — Poor front camera *2022-09-14, version 3.1* Even using an iPad 9th Generation it shows how poor the quality of the front camera really is. When you use the magnifier the pixelation is appalling. Apple need to start looking at key components and improve the quality, even the XDA gave a better image quality than this in 2004. The app is fine, but not much use when the technology has not moved on that much. Just buy a normal mirror instead. ### 1/5 — 1st picture froze *2022-07-09, version 3.1* One picture, the flash background lighting was amazing, the auto-focus was fast & clear! Only problem; the entire App was FROZEN, my screen was Locked! I had to restart my phone to get it unlocked. I’ll adjust the rating when I try it again! ### 1/5 — Couldn’t use *2021-03-15, version 3.0* I downloaded this app because it was free. It appeared to download fast but then it froze and wouldn’t work. I tried getting out, turning my phone off...everything. It still wouldn’t work. I deleted it. ### 1/5 — No good *2020-10-19, version 2.6.1* Not long after opening the app a pop-up will appear in the middle of the screen, the only option it gives is “upgrade “ for 1.99$, if you don’t want to upgrade u have to wait 10 seconds to press “continue” to make it go away. 10 sec later boom there it is again. ### 2/5 — It simply opens the camera *2023-01-08* I wanted to really like this but I just can’t. The only thing it does is open the camera. If you want to zoom with this you have to press the zoom button multiple times. It would be helpful if you could set a default zoom amount so that when you opened the app it was already at the desired zoom level. I think I’ll just continue to use the phone app because I can zoom from that tool much easier. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Work *2026-07-26, version 3.4* God dang this thing works. The zoom feature is excellent and so is freeze. I use it to read ingredients labels at the store. Just download it. ### 5/5 — Great free *2026-06-17, version 3.4* Great app that is actually free works pretty good, but you just have to have a very still hand ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-06-10, version 3.4* Used for years! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-04-12, version 3.4* Free and works wonderfully! I was trying to use the camera as a magnifying glass, and it was impossible to get the focus right. This is exactly what I needed. Thanks! ### 5/5 — It works *2026-04-10, version 3.4* Wish it had some sepia/high contrast filters, but at least it has negatives and a brghtness/contrast slider ### 5/5 — Use it Every Day *2026-03-24, version 3.4* The print on instructions seems to be getting smaller all the time. This Magnifying Glass helps so much. You can also freeze frame, and save a copy. Goes from 2x to 10x. He ### 5/5 — Review *2026-03-07, version 3.4* May I say this is one of the best magnifiers I have ever used it it is absolutely superb if you I don’t think you could actually improve on it is so good my father uses it because his eyesight is failing and he can use it for taking photographs of bills receipt receipts so so he can see them and he use also used it for other things you know like design designs of springs and things like that because he was a spring maker by trade but yeah, it’s very very good and I will give it a five star review ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2025-12-15, version 3.4* Does the job beautifully ### 5/5 — SO NEEDED *2025-12-08, version 3.4* Thank God for this magnifier!
