Developer Description

Zoom in, brighten, and find words to aid your vision when you need it.

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.

Great visual aid. It 'clearly' serves its purpose - to bring things to greater visual clarity by magnification and/or by making things brighter. There is also image stabilization - VERY helpful. (But for the reviewer thinking about using this to help walk at night, this app probably won't help. Great idea though! 😃👍) This app will remain close at hand on my main screen! NOTE: There is a little icon at the bottom-left. This control has lots of useful additional settings (brightness, etc.).

I would give five stars if the option to enable geolocation data was available. Occasionally close up images will not focus accurately. Also a few times the color of an object on the screen was significantly different than the actual color of the object with my eyes. Otherwise a great app.

Although this app works for it's intended purposes, using the standard Camera app works just as well for me. Some reviewed that this app is clearer than the default Camera app, but for on my device this app fails to auto focus. Camera app always focuses for me, so thanks for the idea, but I'll keep the space used by this for something else.

Would be nice if this was available for the P9PF. Not exactly sure why it isn't. Other than not being accessible to all "Pixel 5 & newer phones" as stated it's a great app.

I dislike the magnifier because I cannot disable it. It comes on everytime when I double tap the screen for other applications. It makes me want to toss the phone at a brick wall and go buy another brand.
