As a person who was walking around the house using a magnifying glass from time to time, I find this to be adequate. It does what it's supposed to and more. I've used it for different things such as taking pictures with my pixel phone as well as other things besides reading, directions Etc, a flashlight function works great. You're trying to read even if it's dark. I have no problems with it

I discovered this app through the accessibility options on my Pixel 7. I have been using my camera as a magnifying lens for years. This app elevates the camera by leaps and bounds as a standalone magnifier. It's perfect for the tiny print I can't see and for things I cannot reach. I love that it's an official Google app like others I trust.

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

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.

It's a great little magnifier app. The only problem I have with it is that the color hue on the screen keeps oscillating between pink and blue. You never get a clear vision of what you're magnifying. It just keeps going back and forth strobing between pink and blue at a very slow rate. Incredibly annoying!

It's just the camera on zoom. If you open your camera and pinch the zoom in to 20, it's the exact same thing as opening the app and zooming to 20. It's the same thing. The.exact.same.thing.

Most of my apps disappeared, and I couldn't find them. I had to reinstall the app.
