This app works as a magnifying glass.
A slider makes it possible to change the zoom factor up to x4.
The application uses the integrated camera of the device to show a zoomed image on screen.
In addition you can use the camera flash as a flashlight for better sight.

Have your magnifying glass always with you.
Use it to read small text. Use it to analyse tiny objects.
Its like a small microscope in your pocket.

Please note:
Continued use of the flash may dramatically decrease battery life.

Pros and cons of Magnifying Glass Pro app for iPhone and iPad

Magnifying Glass Pro app good for

This actually works! Hold your iPhone about 4 inches away from, say, a newspaper and, once the camera focusses, you can magnify the image. You can then move the camera and the live, magnified view follows. What a clever app!
Finally! a magnifying reader for the iPhone! As a person with low vision I bought the iphone becuase of the new features but the missing part was the ability to use it as a reader when I wanted to look at a menu, etc. Its simple, and its not as emberasing to use like my pocket magnifier was. I can simply put the phone on top of the menu and it appeears to other people that I"m looking at a text message or reading e:mail when Im actaully reading the menu! Thanks!

Some bad moments

Tried holding it different ways but in a phonebook it makes things larger but blurry. Cant read a phonebook with it which is what I need it for. Very disappointed.
Its BAD No Good...I got this app to be able to see the numbers for a barcode of a computer motherboard. I could see the numbers better without the application. Thanks a lot money well spent.
