### 5/5 — Wow!

*2021-11-03*

By far the best app on iPhone. I bought an iPhone only for this app

### 5/5 — Great magnifier

*2021-10-19*

I just wrote a 4 star review for this app, don’t know how to edit it.
Changed to 5 stars: it’s a great app!

I didn’t realize that my iPad Air does not have an LED camera flash, so of course this app’s flashlight button won’t do anything.  Not the app’s fault if I lack the hardware!

Excellent, easy to use magnifier app without ads. Thank you!
