Magnifier + Light

Are you having trouble reading small print or do you want to magnify something? Then this Android phone app is for you. It provides magnification. It also has a flashlight and auto-focus to help you see better. And you can freeze the image to counter shaky hands or take a picture of what you see. So there I am after a wonderful Chinese dinner, cracking open my fortune cookie. But the print is so small I can't read it. How frustrating! Especially since I've always been a bit near-sighted and never had trouble with such things before. Sound familiar? Not to worry, it's normal. Most of us have increasing difficulty focusing our eyes for close-up vision as we get older, starting at about age 45. In fact, over 80% of us need glasses or contact lenses after after turning 50. Sure, I bought a pair of drug store reading glasses and they work fine. But I didn't have the reading glasses with me at the Chinese restaurant. Always have my cell phone though. And my “Magnifier + Light “ app is on it, of course. So I could use it to magnify and read my fortune without much trouble. Why don't you try out the “Magnifier + Light” app for yourself. It comes in handy for reading all sorts of small print on maps, medicine bottles and phone bills as well as those little papers inside fortune cookies. Won't even cost you anything, it's a free app.
