About this app

This Magnifier app solves the problem if you are tired of trying reading labels with too small text. You do not need to carry a magnifying glass, just use your smartphone. You will be able to read the text clearly.

You easily control the magnification and the exposure. You can quickly freeze the image so that you can check it out, and save or share it. The magnification can be high enough (if your device supports it) to use it as a microscope or macro camera.

This magnifying glass app has two extra features, a loupe and a color (contrast) expander.

The loupe magnifies a small portion of the picture while the rest is not magnified. This may give a better overall orientation for example in a text. There is also the possibility to have the loupe surrounded by gradually changing magnification, so that details are not hidden below it.

The color (contrast) expander enhances the differences between the colors, which may help to reveal hidden structures, such as the symbols and text on bleached laundry care labels, watermarks, or whatever pale or bleached structures. The picture should have low contrast and be uniform in all parts in order for this feature to work, it cannot handle pictures with large color differences.
