About this app

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 adjusted automatically. You can also take photos and zoom in as much as you need to.

the good and bad... I choose Google apps to avoid the risks of third party apps and for the smooth integration with my pixel phones. unfortunately, after adding a button in my pull down quick setting tiles to make it easy to access, the tile fades out and stops working. Not sure why, but it makes quick access to the app a much slower process. - hence the bad.

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 and 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.
