Use your camera to magnify small text, see object details, or zoom in on faraway text like street signs or restaurant menus behind a service counter. Search for words before or after you take a picture to find what you need on a menu, a departure board, or anything containing text. Apply visual effects to make low contrast text more visible. In low light environments brightness is automatically adjusted. You can also take photos and zoom in as much as you need. Get started: 1. Download Magnifier from the Play Store. 2. (Optional) Set up Magnifier to easily open via Quick tap: a. Open your phone's Settings app. b. Go to System > Gestures > Quick tap. c. Turn on Use Quick tap. d.

    I actually use it all the time. Even though you can zoom in on some websites, you can't always get the best. best focus. I love this magnifier app. thank you for making it! it even has great detail on zoom in. urine

    One of those simplistic luxuries that you don't realize you need, until you don't have it! I absolutely love it and use it on the daily.

    Works great for what I need it for.

    With the Magnifier app, at zoom=1, at manual lens selection, at fixed shooting distance of about 143 mm: The short side of display covers 21 mm at UW lens, and 19 mm at W lens! So, almost the same! With the stock camera, in the same setup these are, respectively, 291 mm 137 mm. Also, on the Magnifier app, at W lens, at the same setup as above, that is physically sturdy, the short side of the image is tottering about 0.3 mm at about 0.5 sec frequency. Very useful app still. /GP10XL

    Wow finally a useful, straightforward, GOOD app that wasn't forced upon me, but suggested. Incredible. Please google, more interactions like this. You simply capture what you want to see clearer, and the app enhances it to near crystal clear legibility.

    I'm finding this more and more useful as I get older. I like the quick tile, but need something easier to get to, going to attach it to tap the back gesture
