Magnifying Glass

Originally "Fantastic! Great clarity and magnification." Then foolishly updated the app, then no new features at all, but instead it now comes with incredibly annoying, intrusive, obnoxious amount of ads, which completely disrupted the use of the app. If trying to take fine detailed snapshots of small objects, the last thing you need is noisy, childish ads forcing you to watch some video as you are trying to keep a steady hand. Very disappointed.

Simple app that just works. The zoom is great and if your camera is up to it will reveal very small text. I like the button to turn on the flashlight. You can also swap to the front camera and use it as a magnifying mirror. Neat. No need to grant permissions to storage if you don't want to. Also no need to sign in. Best of all, it's free.

This is a great app, very useful. However, when you move the magnifying glass across the page (or whatever you're looking at), the focus grows blurry and you have to constantly tap the screen to refocus. That is a bit annoying when you're reading a text or looking at details on a map (which is what I use it for).
