Use your iOS native app. Plus crumby ad pops up and blocks the app at startup for 5 seconds or more. Don't waste your Time. ### 1/5 — Stuck with tip calculator! *2016-08-24, version 2.0* It's hopeless! All I can access is the tip calculator! I have tried to shift, change - to test the text magnifier but wont leave the tip calculator! Return my money back!!! ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2016-07-20* This app uses your camera to zoom in and zoom out, and to focus you can touch the screeN, just like your camera. Therefore this app is a waste of money. ### 1/5 — Makes no sense *2015-10-14* Bought it but it makes no sense. You can use your cam with the zoom and have the same...for free! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all *2015-10-13* Tried it on iPhone 6S Plus and it only shows a black screen. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2015-09-29, version 1.2* Loaded it and it only show black screen ### 1/5 — Waste of money! *2015-05-08, version 1.1* I can't believe I got taken in. Total waste. Unusable! ### 1/5 — Complete and utter rubbish I want my £2.99 back!!! *2015-05-07, version 1.1* It just doesn't work!!! ### 1/5 — Dumbest *2015-04-12* This is, by far, the most useless app of all time. It accomplishes exactly what you can already do with your camera. I feel like I have been robbed. Please, don't be stupid. This is s waste! ### 1/5 — Junk! Take a pass. Doesn't work... *2015-02-16* Junk...doesn't work on my iPhone 6. Black screen only. Magnifier app works well enough. A previous reviewer questioned the other reviews of 5 stars. I agree! Take a pass on this one. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Agree...... SCAM! *2018-12-08* First off, I only got 2 of the 3 promised apps. No Tip calculator! Second, does not work any better than ‘built in’ functions. ### 1/5 — Advertisements on a paid app? *2018-09-15* If you like paying to watch ads, this is the app for you! ### 1/5 — Useless! *2018-09-06* Use your camera and zoom in — WITHOUT ADS! ### 1/5 — Total Scam. *2018-09-04* You can find a magnifier built into the iPhone under accessibility settings. This works just as well, if not better, than this app’s magnifier. As for a tip calculator, simply multiply your bill by the percent tip (25% = 0.25). The app is just a way for the developers to use what’s built into your iPhone and sell it right back to you. Don’t buy into it, just use the functions that already exist for free with no extra app. ### 1/5 — Minor bug fixes? You mean introducing ads. *2018-08-19* Not that I care that much about the ads as the developer needs some form of revenue, but don't just update the app with 'bug fixes' while not mentioning that ads will block the app for 5 seconds at startup. Just be fair about it or implement an option to remove them. That's all. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2018-02-04, version 2.1* Always feel betrayed by Apple when I buy an ap that is pure garbage... they obviously do little review and in the future I will never buy an ap I cannot try first. You cannot even reach the developer.... if you want to waste $3.99, send it to me... I will at least give you a thank you! ### 1/5 — Useless *2016-09-19, version 2.0* Useless can't see a thing refund please!!! ### 1/5 — REAL HOAX!!! *2016-09-13, version 2.0* Do not buy it! This is such a lie, it is the same as using your camera and the zoom! Do not waste your money!! I want my money back! ### 1/5 — Useless! *2016-09-10, version 2.0* Can't see a thing! Refund please ### 1/5 — This is a ripped off! *2016-09-09, version 2.0* This app doesn't work at all! I want my money back. Apple Store: take it from your apps! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works consistently well *2019-08-23* I have age-related macular degeneration and was searching for a good magnifying lens when I ran across this excellent tool. Since I always have my phone with me, why carry another item? Highly recommended ### 5/5 — Excellent *2019-02-05, version 2.4* Made things much bigger ### 5/5 — Better than native software *2018-05-31* I normally use the magnifying app in restaurants to read the menu and the check. I found it easier to use than Apple's native app. And it comes with a tip calculator. Very cool. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2016-06-10* Highly recommended ### 5/5 — It is great. *2016-01-08* I use it very often. ### 5/5 — Don't waste your time *2015-05-20* The product doesn't work. Don't waste your money ### 4/5 — Annuler mon abonnement *2018-07-10* Je croyais que l’on payais qu’une seul fois et je vois que vous me facturer tout les mois alors j’annule officiellement mon abonnement. Si vous me texter faite le en français je ne lie pas l’anglais. Merci ### 4/5 — Consumer *2015-04-17* Seems a little shaky but that could just be me. Looks good. Takes a few seconds to focus. For the price, I'm happy. ### 3/5 — Meh *2018-09-03* Doesn’t really do anything the internal camera doesn’t do and has ads. ### 3/5 — Don’t turn on the flash *2018-08-04, version 2.2* Works as long as you don’t switch on the light. Do that and the screen is blurred and you can’t see a thing. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
