## Description

Magnifying Glass is a simple, smart magnifier app that uses your phone camera to enlarge text and objects with up to 10x zoom.

You can pause the screen when needed and easily access the photo album to review captures.

Capture unlimited photos, share them to social media, and enjoy blur-free magnification with front-facing camera support. It’s ideal for reading tiny text, finding small items, and inspecting details while keeping an eye on your surroundings.

## Review summary

Magnifying Glass is praised as a free tool with solid lighting and useful close-up capabilities for reading and detail photos. However, many users report a confusing, finicky zoom UX, the need to repeatedly tap to keep the light on at high magnification, and inconsistent near-focus with a desire for darker-lighting options. Improvements to zoom usability, steadier illumination at high zoom, and better close-focus/dimming features would enhance the experience.

### Pros

- Free app for light, zoom, and camera features.
- Clear lighting with an adjustable brightness slider for good magnification.
- Generally works well and helps with reading and close‑up detail.

### Cons

- Zoom controls can be hard to memorize and configure, leading to unreliable magnification at high zoom.
- Keeping the light on at high zoom requires steady hands and tapping the screen, which can cause you to lose your spot.
- Close-up focus isn’t consistently sharp and could be improved.
- Brightness/light control lacks dimming/night options for darker environments.
