Magnifying Glass With Light 3.8.5

Why we like it: This app is incredibly practical, especially in situations where the menu writing is too small or the lighting is too dim. It solves the problem by turning your iPhone's camera into a magnifying glass, allowing you to easily read text that you might otherwise struggle with.

This app is a handy tool to have when you're dining in a poorly lit restaurant and can't make out the text on the menu. By simply pointing your iPhone's camera at the text and adjusting the on-screen slider, you can quickly enlarge the text and make it much easier to read.

Whether you need to read fine print on a medicine bottle, enjoy a book in bed without your reading glasses, find your way back to your campsite in the dark, or even check your makeup on the go, this app proves useful in a variety of situations.

The Magnifying Glass With Light app has an overall rating of 4.5/5.0 in the US market and is praised for its simplicity and effectiveness.

Frequently Asked Question:

Q: Why not just use Apple's Camera app?

A: The Apple Camera app allows you to choose between digital zooming (Camera Mode) or lighting (Video Mode), but not both at the same time. This app offers more features and a larger zooming capability of up to 6x.

Please note that some features are only available in the Pro version, which can be unlocked through an in-app purchase.
