### 5/5 — Best app for microscopic vision

*2026-05-09, version 1.2.4*

Amaizing and fun app

### 2/5 — Magnifying is no better than taking a picture and zooming.

*2025-09-03*

And a billion pop up ads. Shall be deleting

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2025-08-08*

The ads are out of control.

### 1/5 — Fake ads

*2025-05-23, version 1.2.2*

I downloaded this game to zoom in on a full moon as it does in the ads but it only zooms in 10x and my phone goes to 16x

### 1/5 — Unusable because of the ads

*2025-04-11*

I realise that you get nothing for free so if an app costs you nothing there is a trade off of some ads, but this app has so many it becomes unusable. Don’t waste your time. Find another app!

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2025-03-30*

I really wanted to use this app but everytime I pressed something it went to an ad. Please fix this.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-03-28*

This app has so many bad ads plays if u need zoom just use the camera or if u on iPhone just use magnifying app.

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-03-28, version 1.2.1*

I like

### 1/5 — To many ads

*2025-03-16, version 1.2.1*

To many annoying adds

### 2/5 — Ad bombardment

*2025-03-15*

Too many ads. Never even used it for intended purpose because so many ads interfered. Free, I get some ads. But the bombardment was ridiculous. Chose an alternative, and much happier with it.
