The original and still the best. The New York Times: Gadgetwise - App of the Week!!!

"Of the several [magnification apps] I tried my favorite is Magnifying Glass from I-Beam. The iPhone app is simplicity itself. Turn it on, point the camera at the fine print and then touch the plus button until it is enlarged enough to read...

"Two other built-in features I like about Magnifying Glass: the button that instantly resets the image to low magnification and the camera button which lets you take a photo of your close up." - Roy Furchgott, New York Times

Pros and cons of Magnifying Glass +++ Magnifier app for iPhone and iPad

Magnifying Glass +++ Magnifier app good for

If you do some electronics it is really usefull to read whats on small ICs
Love it no problems stupid simple to use. How to switch off advertising?
I tried the top rated in Apps... Its not fancy, but boy does it work!
Very handy. Very helpful. Hasnt failed me yet. Love this app.
This is great. While visiting my son I asked if he had a magnifying glass .he said no. Then I thought maybe ther is a app. I can download from my iPad. There was your app. Thank you. You were there when I needed you and will be there when I need you again . Great features.
This app has helped me read the micro printing on the adapters and chargers. Ultimately saving me a few unnecessary returns to the store for replacement parts. Its actually great at reading fine print on coupons and super saver cards too!

Some bad moments

It does magnify the camera picture but small text remains blurry so why bother? Since the iPhone camera performs poorly close-up, I dont see how this application can be terribly useful.
Free app is so lousy that I just wont spend the money for the "upgrade". You should at least deliver an app that actually works first; everything is just a blurr!! Never mind not wasting your money, dont waste your time.
I downloaded it and when I try and open it, it will freeze and then I let it load and IT DOESNT FIX!!!!!!
Im using the iPhone 4 and this app does not work. I thought if I paid for the upgrade that I would be able to focus (anything you zoom in on is blurry) and I thought the ads would go away but neither happened after I upgraded, all I got was the ability to tilt the pic, dumb, I can do that manually. The built in camera that comes with the iPhone does a better job at magnifying things; this app is a scam. App designers are thieves because there is no real return policy.
How do you sharpen up the image? Zooming in doesnt help if it is blurry...
Dont waste your $. As soon as you try to use it the entire app shuts down with my iPhone 6+ and latest iOS 8. markf
