Magnifying Glass +++ Magnifier vs BenchScope

The original and still the best. ***************************************************** The New York Times – Gadgetwise: App of the Week “Of the several magnification apps I tried, my favorite is Magnifying Glass from I-Beam. The iPhone app is simplicity itself. Turn it on, point the camera at the fine print, and touch the plus button until it is enlarged enough to read. Two other built-in features I like: the button that instantly resets the image to low magnification, and the camera button, which lets you take a photo of your close-up.” — Roy Furchgott, The New York Times ***************************************************** Magnifying Glass helps you see more clearly on your iPhone and iPad. Whether you’re reading small text, examining fine details, or viewing objects up close, Magnifying Glass provides powerful visual tools that are easy to use and fully under your control.
