Magnifying Glass w/ Light Pro

I'm an Electronics Technician and use this app at 10 times a week looking at components on circuit boards and looking at the really small writing on the components and devices that I work on. I use it to get MAC addresses serial numbers that are really hard to read in low light settings. I also like the feature that reverses the color so that you get a different view it helped me find a hairline crack in a circuit board once when I couldn't see it in normal view. I really do use this for everything small. I have told many people about this app and they have all loved it for different reasons. I paid for the pro version because I wanted the extra features but the free version is great too! You will be happy that you downloaded this app.

This is my new favorite app! Very cool and very useful! I can now be without my reading glasses and get by! Good for reading fine print, rX bottles, serial numbers, menus etc.. Not so practical for extensive reading such as books or magazines. Use like you would a magnifying glass and you'll appreciate it. As a bonus, use the zoom feature and point it across the street (or wherever) and you have portable binoculars! (Monocular to be more accurate) very cool!! Anyhow, this should be standard issue on every phone! Even the free version is handy but I bought the pro for enhanced features AND to support the developers of such a well crafted app. 😀

I bought the App as an experiment. I wanted to see if it would allow me to magnify and zoom in on the microtype checks and other documents as authenticity check. You can easily see the type with the traditional magnifying glass. It did not work with microtype on the signature line of the check despite it being high contrast, and it did not work with the micro type on the back of a drivers license. I attempted to give my review no waiting whatsoever. Apple would not let me do this. I am giving it three stars because it did not do what I was looking forward to do, but would've preferred to give it no stars since I'm not particularly sure that it ever claimed to be able to do it. I simply wanted to warn people that it would not work for very fine type.

Some colors are hard to see in their natural state, for me black text with white background is harder to see, and can sometimes hurt my eyes. With this I can turn on the light, reverse colors or contrast, black and white to white to black, and make it easier to see even difficult labels. For one reason it has a ability to sharpened text edges. I give it a 10 out of 10! There are always ways to improve ourselves and eventually I am sure there is something new to add to this device so far it is perfect.

I do love this app. I’ve been using it for a couple years. I could do without the shake removal of the icons. That’s annoying because I don’t mean to do it and it seems very sensitive. I love the inverted light feature. I just wish it did video. If there is a video app that zooms and does the inverted light thing. Please someone tell me! I would give a 4.5. If I could give half stars. Just because of the issues mentioned. But if you want a great menu reader. This is it. I use it to see the refill dates on my medication. I used to be able to see them. But age is catching up with me!
