Great for fountain pen and watch guy duties
honolulu dougo!
I'm a "fountain pen guy," (HDoug at The Fountain Pen Network) and was looking for something that might replace the 2x (or is it 3x) glass lens that I don't always have on me. I use it to look at pen nibs (the metal part of a fountain pen that carries the ink and touches the paper) because that's where subtleties of shape influence the character of the writing. It's also the metal nibs where manufacturers choose to engrave with their trademark logos. Arrows, Pelikans, mountains, anchors and all sorts of things in fine lines engraved into gold and steel, for the observant with a decent magnifier. I also have to confess into not being able to read the print on medication labels, and it seems to me there might be some important information in that tedious prose. Well, to get to the point, this app really exceeds the above mentioned requirements. I would sometimes use the iPhone's camera app and try zooming in to create my own digital magnifier, and I couldn't imagine how an app that basically did the same thing could be any better. But better it is, and much much better. I don't know how, but it works exactly as a magnifier and throws in some very useful digital tricks: Tap the screen and freeze the image. You can even zoom into the image in this mode. You can adjust the flash light to get the level of illumination you want, and you can even save the image to your Photo app. It does get grainy at high magnification, but that's only at the deep end of the zoom scale. I have also found it useful for a number of other things I hadn't anticipated. I'm writing this review after using the app to look at the tiny letters engraved into a couple of my watches to find the movement number so I could look up some information about them. From where I'm sitting, both my 3x magnifier and 10x Belomo are out of reach. But my iPhone is always practically attached to my body. So it indeed has replaced my 3x lens, and is even threatening my 10X Belomo. Now that's a nice piece of glass, but you can't take photos through it very easily, can you?
Good app (1 improvement to make though

It's a good app 1 improvement could be made: Allow the app to run FULL SCREEN when an iPhone 6 6S 6 Plus OR 6S Plus has the display zoom set to ZOOMED IF that CAN be done then this app would be PERFECT
Great for reading the fine print!
Want good value for the money.
I use this for reading the instructions on spray paint cans, they seem to use such small fonts to fit on all the legal and warnings that are now required. I use it to read the model and serial numbers off of electronics labels. I use the photo option to not have to write down information. I use it to see around corners or angles that my eyes cannot directly see. Great app for me.
Extraordinarily useful tool

Single purpose and super focus. All the controls you might need are right where you need them. I've been able to see dim pencil marks for alignment on wood while seeing it through a 1/4" pilot hole drilled in a plank. It felt like aligning spaceships for docking, it was so precise and easy. I've also used it for soldering, attaching the iPhone to a camera mount and even airplaying video to Apple TV for large screen viewing! Luxurious!
Daily heavy use

As a professional sharpener and technician, this is my go to app when I need to ultra close-up pictures. I bought a digital camera so I could use macro and immediately went back to mag light. I've been using it for several years and most of my close up work is done with it. Love it love it. Easy to use. Really good clarity for a phone I have never had a problem with it crashing. Very well done.
