### 5/5 — iPhone magnifying icon

*2026-07-30, version 1.4.3*

Go ahead use a few times . This function comes in handy in a multitude of viewing needs when things are wee little like instructions, grocery labels,etc. along with many other needs.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-07-13, version 1.4.3*

It does not magnify that well.

### 5/5 — Great Utility for your phone!

*2025-12-27, version 1.4.3*

Try this app! Works great!

### 1/5 — GHASTLY, horrible

*2025-12-03, version 1.4.3*

a horrible terrible app.  
From the instant it is installed, 
They deny you elementary basic features, such as limiting zoom, no photographs, no light.  THEN they harass you continuously to upgrade and send them money, WITHOUT even granting a simple trial period.  HORRIBLE TERRIBLE ROTTEN, AVOID UNTIL THE END OF TIME AND THE SUN GOES SUPERNOVA.

### 1/5 — Mistake

*2025-11-14, version 1.4.1*

Never wanted to “upgrade”for a fee. I rarely ever use the free app. Please delete this account
 thank you

### 1/5 — Unusable if you dont pay

*2025-09-25, version 1.4.1*

Bad app

### 1/5 — Just use the zoom on your camera

*2025-08-07, version 1.4.1*

Downloaded this app just to see if the developer is trying to nickel and dime you like they did on another app I downloaded from them. The answer is yes. Loaded the app and it asked for camera permission so I clicked yes and was immediately met with a time limit reached notice and had to wait 5 seconds. Waited and clicked continue to get 3-4 seconds looking at something before it popped back up. Pulled up my camera and zoomed in just to get  ether results. Why would anyone spend $3 on this scam pretending to be an app is beyond me. Positive reviews must be bought is the only thing I can think of.

### 1/5 — Bad, very bad

*2025-05-21, version 1.4.1*

Many ads

### 1/5 — Worst 1 second app

*2025-03-06, version 1.4.1*

Regular focus, pay pop up every second

### 1/5 — ITS A TRICK

*2025-03-04, version 1.4.1*

Asks for review before it allows you to begin, tricking people into good reviews! Then gives u like literally 2 seconds before it says times up and u have to pay. So yeah i never got to use the stupid thing to see how it works and im not about to pay for something that cons from the start!!!!!!!!
