Pros and cons of BigMagnify Pro app for iPhone and iPad

BigMagnify Pro app good for

I tested all the other magnifying apps. Big Magnify is the best out there. I use it every day at work to read serial numbers during work. I find it a lot easier to use than a real magnifying glass because it freezes the image for me while I jot down the information. I would have given it five stars, but I find the freeze button on the screen is way too small. It often takes 3 or 4 tries to select it. This is annoying because when you are dealing with magnifications, one small shake and the image becomes blurred and you have to reshoot again. Other than that, it is worth the price.

This app is perfect for when I magnifying glass isnt nearby. My only complaint is that the light doesnt work on the iPad.

Some bad moments

A descent app for what it is suppose to do but there are some flaws. The pause button that freezes the frame should be on the bottom right corner instead of the top left corner because when you try to freeze the frame with your right hand it get in the freeze frame picture. Should have a slide zoom for the front facing camera so you can have your own desired zoom of yourself. The seller does not have a support page or site.

Tapping Image Stabilization causes the app to crash. Please fix.

Have a lot of problems getting a clear image doesnt seem to sink well with phones auto focus so the app usually dont do me any good.

This is a very helpful app. It is a little tricky to learn, but not too difficult to use once you get accustom to the icons.
