Nice clean app with just the controls you need. Manual lighting control works great. The only problem I have, and it's pretty big, is at certain zoom levels the app switches back and forth between different lenses and near impossible to get a clear image. The app NEEDS an option to lock the lens or pick the lens to prevent this! This is on P8Pro, likely affects others

This is (ahem) magificent. I'm glad to have it. With it, I can read fine print, or (on a Pixel 7 Pro) zoom across the room to read a sign on the wall in a busy pub ("Ah, *that's* what the specials are!"). I have it set up so two taps on the back of the phone open the magnifier, and I use it nearly every day.

I like the app as it helps my poor eyes. The only problem I have is it crashes a lot. After a few zoom adjustments, the app will freeze. I hope this issues gets fixed.
