Works great on Android. Using it to take pics of very small silver hallmarks. Amazing clarity. Have to be patient in focus and lining items up. I had no problems with the app. For $25 - very cool.

BUYER BEWARE. I did receive the lens and it did work. The image quality is pretty poor. Really low resolution. Nothing at all like the images they post in their marketing and on their website. At first they sent me the wrong lens. then after some email they sent me the correct lens. I returned the first one but they made me pay for shipping which was not right. I never received the second lens. It took weeks for them to agree to a refund. The refund never arrived. I had to get my credit card company to correct the transaction for me so I could get my money back. Bottom line ,don't do this, it's not worth it.

This works much better than I thought it would. Clear images great definition. Super easy to use app. My son loves his new microscope. Great bang for the buck.

Horrible. For those persons who said they had no problems... I don't believe them. I have tried 5 times (loading and unloading the app) and realize the same results each time: NOTHING!. The app shows "connected, no internet" and the home page is non responsive; while the (preview interface) continues to 'buffer' indefinitely. I've tried emailing the company...to no avail. No answer, no confirmation of receipt. I'm returning this junk and will tell everyone I know, and DON'T Know!

I was able to get this app to work with the HVX W04 microscope. A few notes on this arrangement. The USB connection appears to be for recharging an internal battery only. The camera does not connect via USB. If you have not already done so, you should charge the camera by plugging it into USB. You will see a red light while charging. Once charged, unplug the camera, then press and hold the Off/On button for about 5 seconds. You will see a blue light near the USB connector. On your phone, look for a WiFi access point that begins with HVsomething. Connect to that. It is an access point built into the camera. Once connected, start the HVviewing app, and touch the center (microscope) icon. You should see something, probably very blurry. Turn the brightness control near the USB connector toward the "+" symbol to adjust illumination, and place the clear plastic spacer on something tiny to view. Adjust the silver thumbwheel to focus. It implies it is a zoom, but for me it was more of a focus. I love that this camera is wireless, though it is a bit of a pain that you must disconnect from the internet on WiFi to use it. Cell data still works just fine. All in all, I like this camera concept better than other Chinesium microscopes. Nicely done, folks.

Easy set up, works fine. I'm using to get close up to the activity in aquariums, so far so good.
