Magnify for Android
3/5/17 Edit: Disappointed, since the loss of manual focus has reduced usefulness and increased nothing but annoyance. It's not helpful, when trying to view something, for focus to keep changing, to focus on an adjoining object, etc. One-tap to focus, then move out and in till perfect, *was* this app's strong point. I'd referred several customers to this app in the past; but no longer, as I'm having to review competing solutions myself. ...Was 5-stars... ----- I use this all day to enlarge product info for myself & customers. Just found the paid version, which I didn't realize existed!
This app magnifies normal size print fairly well on on my Moto G Lollipop phone. Tiny print tends to become jumbled and unreadable. It is important to hold your device still; otherwise, the magnifier will not focus properly. The clarity and definition doesn't seem as good as when using the camera for picture taking purposes. This app does feature a night mode for reading which provides a black background with white print.
Can't get it to stay focused. Costantly changing and seeking to get a sharp image. No manual override and not easy to use
It was down graded a few updates back but at least somewhat useable. Now it won't focus but a nanosecond. I used to use / recommend alot; not now.
Been using this handy little app for years on seven different phones, three tablets and have recommended it to at least forty people but never again. The latest upgrade has RUINED IT! The continuous auto focus mode makes it nigh on impossible to getva clear image of what you want to see and the new 'freeze frame' feature has too much of a lag so moving your finger to freeze the image results in either a blurred image or the wrong image. Neither of which is what you want. So, your reign has come to an end and I have opted for another app which is, ironically, more like the previous version of you ...
This works great! You have to press the little flashlight icon. Then it lights up and magnifies. It also focuses well. Knock on wood, I've never had a problem with it. I def recommend this app!
Useless. You can't get the damn thing thing to focus. So you get a larger blurry image of what wasn't clear enough to read in the first place.
Was better before. Can't seem to make the magnified photos I used to be able to do.... Still magnifies ok..
Works well but auto focus not really working as you have to move the phone in and out to stay focused I would like to see a way to increase contrast not just invert b/w
Uninstalled. My phone's security system repeatedly flags this app as a potential spy app because of the invasive permissions it requires. No thanks.
Hi battery drain on Moto Z after open and closing app. Sends data packets out without permission.
Works great. Really helps with my 60 year old eyes.lol. love the light feature.
Difficult to focus properly. No + or - buttons included. Try Smart Magnifier for a tool.
Doesn't focus at all any more
Works very well for me. I have shared this app with several friends. Use it 2-3 times a week
Not clear. Too long to focus. Deleted it
Cannot magnify after frozen????
Best app I ever had!!!!
Won't focus!!
Excellent Tool. Working perfectly.
Great tool. Has become my best friend.
No pictures...
Good for senior type people.

Good to help me
Very much useful...
Good, usefull
Love it!
Good App
Awesome and focused
Brill app
Newest update causes my camera to not be able to be used at all on zte n800 awe phone with android 4.2 (I think) after I have tried the Magnify app. After I restart my phone, I get my camera back, but the Magnify app shouldn't do this. I used to love the app and was able to take magnified pics with the older version. Very disappointed. You broke it!
Suprised how close it can focus. Of course small camera = not much zoom but the note 3 works pretty well zoom can be more (digital zoom that is)
Pros: Out of about 10 magnifier apps that I tried this one has by far the sharpest image and it's simple to use. Cons: The pause can be blurry unless you have steady hands.
Last update is terrible. Must be held too far away to keep steady and focus is bad.
Sherlock Holmes would pay big for this app. Has worked well on all of my HTC devices, and now my ZTE Axon7
Electronically magnifies everything. This app works ecen in low light.
F*CK IN AWESOME! I use it for coin collecting. It really brings in the details.
Good App !

Amazing once you get use to it... you can see your pores like you never seen them before..wish I could record so that you could see your face and other things that you can't look at through the screen at the same time and wish you could focus even if shaking hands
