Great app for demonstrating the principles behind how lenses work. Surprisingly, there's only one other app on the Play Store that does this, and it's not free like this one. This app should be more well-known than it is.

എറ്റവും നല്ലതു.no1 -all other are waste..i tried raytrace.. qoptics..etc.. but this provide all with free cost..real simulation...thanks man..i trying to buy 300mm lens to fit in mobile.its helped me to learn..optics

It's a great app but it doesn't have any vertical scroller or any information about distance between arrow and mirror or between arrow and it's picture. Please solve these problems.
