works great on my moto g .colour effects are just fantastic. The most valuable thing in the app is that the screen is clean and no setting can be changed accidentally. i have a few suggestions for you . use gestures to control the magnifier like pinch for magnification, up/ down swipe to toggle flash, left swipe for colour effects and right swipe to freeze/unfreeze etc. Keep updating your app. Thanks for developing such a nice app.

Upon initial download and startup, I experienced repetitive force closures. Camera angle was skewed to a 90-degree angle away from intended magnification point. Settings never came up, however upon press of menu key, entire phone system froze and needed forced reboot of phone. Immediate un-installation after last force close. Thank you, but no thank you. Definite debugging needed IMMEDIATELY if not sooner.

I saw the reviews of the earlier version that said it wouldn't work on the Samsung Epic (Galaxy S) but was hoping when I saw that the latest update included compatibility improvement that it might work. I'm sad to report that it doesn't. The screen remains black. However if you freeze the frame you can see what the camera was pointed at in that instant.

Freeze frame doubled image size on my samsung charge Couldnt freeze the full image When it doubled image size i lost my field of view and could now only see 1/4 of the item I was looking at. Also had issue with toggle buttons I d rather see them on screen instead of having to hit the menu button and then hitting the on screen button after it comes up Even better, give me a button option to display toggle buttons on screen

On my samsung Avant phone for some reason I can't turn on the lighting and I can't change the color effect... I think it has something to do with my phone on another phone that was older than this current one I have I was able to pull up the settings for the magnifier but on this current phone I can't pull up the settings for the color effect and lighting effect I can only change the magnification with the volume key
