### 2/5 — Excellent idea but software needs work

*2018-08-12*

Having low vision, i was looking for an app that offers competition to the more expensive options.  used this app with an 8 Plus & it appear that zooming in on the app doesn’t zoom in with the hardware camera (just focuses on a smaller portion of the zoomed out image... becoming out of focus). 

Excellent idea & am glad to see people working on this but with that issue the use is limited.

### 5/5 — Great app for the bvi

### 5/5 — Shoz
