Read small text with ease. Magnifier + Light turns your iPhone into a powerful magnifying glass with a built-in flashlight, giving you a clear, bright view of anything you need to see up close. Whether you're reading fine print on a prescription bottle, checking a restaurant menu in low light, or examining small details on documents, Magnifier + Light makes it simple. Open the app and you're instantly magnifying — no setup, no complicated menus, no clutter. POWERFUL MAGNIFICATION Zoom from 1x up to 10x with a smooth slider or pinch-to-zoom gesture. The magnified view fills your entire screen so you see every detail clearly. Adjust zoom to the level that's most comfortable for your eyes and the text stays sharp at every level. BUILT-IN FLASHLIGHT Turn on the flashlight with a single tap to illuminate what you're reading. Adjust brightness to the exact level you need with a simple slider.

WHAT YOU GET - Zoom in up to 10× on any small text or detail with a crisp, high-resolution view - Turn on the light to brighten dark labels, menus, and packaging in a tap - Low-vision filters — invert, high-contrast, grayscale and warm tint — make faint text pop - Freeze the frame, then pinch to inspect calmly with no shaky hands or blur - Read Mode captures a label or menu and reads the text aloud, hands-free - Save any snapshot to your Library and pull it back up whenever you need it PERFECT FOR - Anyone with low vision, presbyopia, or tired eyes - Seniors reading medicine labels, bills, and letters - Diners squinting at menus in dim restaurants - Hobbyists inspecting fine detail, stamps, coins, and stitching WHY NOT JUST USE THE CAMERA APP?
