About visor - low vision magnifier

Enlarge difficult to read text by 3 magnification levels and change contrast to 5 different viewing modes. Optionally, turn on the LED flash of your device to help you see better in low-light conditions.
Visor supports VoiceOver with TalkBack in German and English.

During the day, there is a lot printed text to read: restaurant menus, price tags, the newspaper, letters or photos from your loved ones — visor zooms and improves the contrast of whatever you want to see. Its advanced color modes and simple interface are made for giving you the best possible perception of printed text on your screen like you'd expect it from a handheld electronic magnifier.

‣ 3 magnification levels
The 3 magnification levels of visor are easily accessible anytime with the touch of a button. After closing the app, visor remembers the last selected magnification level and contrast mode.

‣ 5 different color modes
Many visually impaired people suffer from dazzling effects when reading dark characters on a light background. Visor avoids these effects by providing 5 color modes: white text on dark background, real color mode, contrast enhancement, yellow text on blue background and blue text on yellow background.

‣ Manual focus, Autofocus & LED light
Manual focus gives more control over the text you want to read. Simply tap the screen and visor focuses the targeted text. Tap and hold to switch to Autofocus. Turn on the LED light to make text crystal clear even in low light conditions.

‣ Freeze the image, enhance contrast and save or share the picture without having to hold the camera pointing at the subject

‣ Tested by people with visual impairments
Visor was developed in close cooperation with visually impaired people. We are always grateful for any suggestions and requests for improvement.

How I wish you'd left out the irritating 'i' icon! We need 'updates' like this like we need a poke in the eye! Get rid of it quickly!

This is a really good and easy to use solution. I only wish that it could zoom beyond the camera zoom through further digital zoom. I need that.

The ease of use, big clear buttons and lots of options make this app good, however the image is inverted on high contrast settings.

Awesome! I gave you the fastest 5 star rating! I was able to read small letters on a remote thanks to this app. Download it now! Thank you, to all the developers!

This works exceptionally well. I love that it saves my settings for next time, it has a simple interface, and it's ad-free too! I tried about ten others... Many didn't work well on my phone (Moto X2), some had annoying or potentially harmful ads, others weren't simple to use or didn't save my settings.

As a registered VIP I find this app incredibly useful. The fact it is privacy focused is also excellent news. Thank you!

I've used this a couple of times already and really like it. Better than a few other apps I looked at a while ago. The only thing i did not like were the controls on the right side of the screen. Seems very intrusive and. Well big. Fine if they are big but would like an option for them to be hidden so i can use the entire screen for readability. Galaxy s5

I tried many magnifying apps but none came up to scratch. This magnifying app makes very small writing crystal clear and a plus extra this is ad-free and no risk in giving out your info via your Android phone. :-)

Your application is absolutely wonderful. It has helped me regain some of the independence I lost due to my diminishing eyesight.

This is a life saver! That's what ove needed to assist with small print magnification

U70%
by U####:

This app is awesome! Not only magnifies and sheds light through phone flash led, the contrast feature brings out small details I miss having a lack of cones.

F70%
by F####:

Like many who have low vision, I have tried many magnifier apps. I really like this interface but despite all my efforts, and good phone, it is very difficult to use because the image stutters. Not sure how this can be remedied, but it is almost unusable to read anything more than a word or two because how much it stutters. I will keep this app on my phone to see if there are any updates that have a solution and make it more smooth experience.

Its good because their are a number of things you can do to improve your vision. You can change colours of the text and background. Increase magnification and easily turn the light on and off. I find light works well on this app.

I can't believe what a different it makes having a dark background and light words. This is a brilliant app. Thanks so much

Terrible!!! All I got from this app was nothing but blackness and couldn't see anything.

S70%
by S####:

That says it all. I can use it for a while, but on days when my eyes are tired, I need more. Otherwise it is a good app. Easy to use.

Y70%
by Y####:

Came across this magnifier and gave it a try. As most of these apps it has basic settings of zoom / colour scheme change. Where visor excells is in a very neat and non invasive 3 button interface. I had a little bit of trouble because it made the screen too bright even when changing colour schemes, which made my glare issues worse. The developers are so awesome they listened to my feedback and adjusted the app accordingly. Very pleased to be looked after. Thank you :)
