Comments on IDEAL Magnifier for Android

★★★★★ Decent Droid X, works okay. Need to use 'Volume' button to get the right focus on tiny text. Not as crisp as I'd expect, but far from 'useless'.

★★★★★ Excellent works great on my moto g .colour effects are just fantastic. The most valuable thing in the app is that the screen is clean and no setting can be changed accidentally. i have a few suggestions for you . use gestures to control the magnifier like pinch for magnification, up/ down swipe to toggle flash, left swipe for colour effects and right swipe to freeze/unfreeze etc. Keep updating your app. Thanks for developing such a nice app.

★★☆☆☆ Worked flawlessly on my Nexus One but doesnt magnify and LED works for 1 second on my Nexus S. I guess dev abandoned app.

★★☆☆☆ Installed on Samsung Galaxy Froyo 2.2 so far not working. Black screen? Opened settings and enabled auro update. Will wait and see what happens.

★★☆☆☆ Does not work at all with my galaxy tab. The entire screen is black, the search button does not activate the LED.

★★☆☆☆ No focus or zoom
