What are these people thinking? PS I never did any porn on this phone before in my life. I don’t get it. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2025-11-25, version 3.8.5* It’s awful that this app does business with terrible smutty people. Hate that I have to see it. Will be deleting it. ### 4/5 — Images *2025-11-24, version 3.8.5* Don’t like the nude images I keep getting from temu advertising at the bottom ### 1/5 — Where’s the light? *2025-11-23, version 3.8.5* Paid for this app…iPad no light comes on at all even though toggle for light is on. ### 4/5 — Really rely on this app *2025-10-25* I have used this app for over a year now, it’s actually my ‘go to’ when I need to magnify stuff. This began due to to failing eyesight with cataracts. I now use it as they’ve been treated but I do not have nearsighted vision whilst awaiting new glasses ### 1/5 — Keeps freezing *2025-10-15, version 3.8.5* Was great but now keeps freezing and won’t run. Very disappointing! ### 3/5 — Help with camera *2025-09-10, version 3.8.5* Love this app, especially when I’m at the store however I need some help with moving that camera to the right side as I’m right handed. It doesn’t work for me on the left side. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-08-24, version 3.8.5* Black screen is all I get. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Extremely blurry *2026-03-24, version 3.8.5* Not sure what happened when I first got it. It worked great now everything I try and look at with it is blurry. Doesn’t seem to use the cameras focus any longer. ### 1/5 — Porn adds? *2026-02-02, version 3.8.5* I understand that a free app will have adds but the first time I use the app it starts running adds for porn. Don’t think that’s quite appropriate ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-02-01, version 3.8.5* I’ve recently used this app and a porn ad pops up. Disgusting and just wrong. ### 1/5 — Images at bottom *2026-01-22, version 3.8.5* Why does it show pornographic like images on bottom! Not needed and reason to leave it! ### 1/5 — Update ruined the app *2026-01-20, version 3.8.5* This is an app I’ve been using for years every day all day because I’m visually impaired. This new update has made it extremely difficult to use. I am going to have to find a new app to use. ### 1/5 — Inappropriate ads *2026-01-19, version 3.8.5* I have to delete. The ads are naked pictures. I have to remove from all of my families devices. The ads should not include naked pics, what are they even trying to sell me. I won’t click on the ad. ### 1/5 — The adds HAVE to go *2026-01-15, version 3.8.5* As utility app, 5 stars. But, my supervisor popped over my shoulder because I’m not supposed to use my phone at work. I explained that I can’t see tiny print and this app was an asset. He looked at the app and said “It looks like you’re looking at NSFW content” the little ad at the bottom of the screen had pictures of Micro Bikinis as an advertisement…… please remove ads, it nearly cost me my job ### 1/5 — Good before the dick pics *2025-12-27, version 3.8.5* I’ve had this app for years but I’m deleting it now it has dick pics with advertising from Temu. An adult rating is now required for this app. ### 1/5 — Not happpy *2025-12-26* Loved this app until I started seeing pornographic images at the bottom of the screen. This didn’t happen once but continuously every time I opened the app. I have since deleted and found another to use. ### 1/5 — Once was best, not anymore *2025-12-03, version 3.8.5* This used to be the best magnifier, back in era of iPhone 6 (single camera). Not anymore, i upgraded to iPhone 16 Pro. You cannot remove the ads at the bottom anymore. used to pay them for “no ads” and that option isn’t even here anymore. This is a scientific tool i have no respect for pushing useless ads into my view space. This app NOT using the 3 cameras properly. Nowadays, get the one which says “30x zoom” that one is scientific, uses the optics well, the UI is good. The other one “30x magnifier” it allows no ads for $1.99 a month. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Pretty handy *2026-04-04* Great for reading fine print ### 5/5 — So Handy *2026-04-02, version 3.8.5* So convenient! Love it!! ### 5/5 — Camara button *2026-02-10, version 3.8.5* The camera button should be selectable for right and left hand . Or even better in the middle. ### 5/5 — Had it for years. Love it *2025-11-10* This app is soooo cool. I use it all the time. Slivers, small injuries, bugs, etc. It really is an awesome app. ### 5/5 — Mag Review *2025-09-23, version 3.8.5* Fantastic app because it lights, magnifies and it’s free. I love it and use it often. ### 5/5 — Top 5 *2025-09-23, version 3.8.5* This is one of the best apps on my phone. Period. Hope it never leaves the App store. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2025-09-08* I don’t need reading glasses but even so this has proved so useful. There are SO many times when some marking or another on some object is too small/faint to see but the combo magnifier and light make it legible. Brilliant. ### 5/5 — Use It Nearly Every Day *2025-08-30, version 3.8.5* This is such a great app for a senior citizen. So much better than having to use the camera and punch expand. Plus I can use it with or without the ligykht and take a photo. It’s great for reading medicine instructions and ingredients lists on jars in the store. ### 5/5 — love it *2025-08-02, version 3.8.5* use this often ### 5/5 — Bright and big *2025-07-21, version 3.8.5* It’s great when you need not only to enlighten the subject, but you also need to make it big enough to see with old eyes! Handy for tiny writing on things like button, batteries, or things too far away that you can’t see the writing on without zooming. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
