Magnifying glass ++ for Negative User Reviews
✓ Free version uselessThe free version has a very short time before the view is obscured by a timeout that you have to wait for, rendering the app completely useless, except if you are looking for something to irritate you. I uninstalled, went for another app instead..Version: 1.2.8
✓ Not free - should be bannedGives you 9 seconds free then asks for a paid upgrade. No mention of in app purchases. Jog on you robbers. Should be banned from the App Store..Version: 1.2.8
✓ Would rate zero if I couldIt claims to be free but it lets me use the app for literally 10 seconds before timing out functionality and then makes you wait for 10 seconds in order to use it for another 10 seconds..Version: 1.2.8
✓ It’s a hoaxThey say it’s free but bs pops up that you can’t remove unless you upgrade and pay also it’s not free it’s only free to use 2x zoom if you want anymore you have to upgrade and pay this is pretty much just tricks DO NOT DOWNLOAD.Version: 1.2.8
✓ Awful appHorrible. Just barely downloaded it and right away it wants me to pay almost $3 to upgrade it. Every 10 seconds it makes me wait 8 seconds before I can continue using it..Version: 1.2.8
✓ Instantly tries to force upgradeI downloaded the app, literally used it for 2-5 seconds, and then it immediately gave me a pop-up message that I had exceeded the time limit and had to either upgrade the app (pay for it) or wait a certain number of seconds to use it again..Version: 1.2.8
✓ Free, but highly dishonestI thought I was getting a fully functioning free app as no in app purchases were mentioned. Instead, I have to upgrade to a different, paid app, for £1.99, to use the magnifier for longer than 8 seconds. This is sneaky, crafty and underhand. I will boycot the rest of this developers apps..Version: 1.2.8
✓ Trial time limit too shortI get its a trial, and I get the dev wants to make money, and if something works well I am happy to pay. BUT, the trial time is so ridiculously short it doesn't give me the chance to zoom in even once before timing out. Uninstalled..Version: 1.2.8
✓ Can’t give zero stars!!Are you kidding me??!!?? Nothing in the description for this app does it say “unless you upgrade you can not use.” I opened the app thinking I would be able to see something small and boy was I wrong!! SHAME ON YOU!! Both to the developers and to the App Store!! I don’t appreciate not only being mislead but to flat out unable to use the so called Free part of an app unless I upgrade to paid??? Such bul@&!*%!!!!.Version: 1.2.8
✓ What a con!! Downloading is pointless unless you are willing to pay!Are you kidding me? This app poses as a free app. Within 8 seconds from downloading and first use it’s blurs the view and tells user to upgrade to keep using. I have never seen an application this dishonest. Don’t nether downloading..Version: 1.2.8
✓ Free not free whatIt says it is free but after 8 seconds it said I had used up my free time checkered the screen and asked me to upgrade by paying £1.99 - 8 seconds isn’t even enough to see if it can work or do one thing with it so they can go take a walk and I will get my magnifier from somewhere else.Version: 1.2.8
✓ A few second of magnification then “upgrade”!!!Loaded this as “no in-app purchases” Worked for about 5 seconds then stopped worth “upgrade to continue £1.99) or wait 10 seconds” Useless as it is! Removing the app.Version: 1.2.8
✓ Have to payNot worth the Download.Version: 1.2.4
✓ Only five seconds of viewingLet’s be real this app shouldn’t be free. You might as well make this app $2.99 because you can only look at through this app for about five seconds or less before a pop up pops up in your face pixelating the screen and telling you to upgrade or wait ten seconds. That may not seem like much time to wait but when it happens every four or five seconds it get annoying fast..Version: 1.3.2
✓ A trap to buy!11 seconds disabled every couple of seconds!.Version: 1.2.8
✓ ReviewWhat a devious way of selling your app!! The free one works for 5 seconds then you have to upgrade Not impressed one bit!!!!.Version: 1.2.8
✓ After paying no upgradeAfter paying and trying to restore it will not do it. So I paid for it but can’t use. The link to the developer web site seems dead. No help…..Version: 1.3.7
✓ Useless app don’t downloadWithin 5 secs it wanted a paid upgrade and scaled out half the screen.Version: 1.2.8
✓ Useless unless you upgradeThe time limit of 8-9 seconds is too short, and magnification limit of 2 is too low to be useful.Version: 1.2.8
✓ What a jokeSays it is free but then try’s to get you to upgrade straight away. Avoid at all cost. I hate sneaky scammers.Version: 1.2.8
✓ Money baitApp deleted,useless.Version: 1.2.8
✓ You’re only allow 10 secondsI’m so glad I waited to review this app. With the new update you are only given 10 seconds to use the magnifier. After that is is blocked for 10 seconds urging you to upgrade. Who does that??? It’s a magnifier, what do you need to upgrade??? If it’s free it’s free, if you want to sell it, then sell it from day one...because trying to force someone to buy it in the middle of using it is a trashy business practice. I’m definitely deleting..Version: 1.2.8
✓ Forces you to upgradeTakes a while to focus on anything by which time your free 8 seconds has run out and your asked to pay. You can continue after a time out but the process begins again. Waste of time Useless.Version: 1.2.8
✓ Utter rubbishGives you about 3 seconds to view something and then asks you to upgrade to a paid app!.Version: 1.2.8
✓ Absolute rubbishYou download the app, think wow this is great! Then it suddenly displays a pop up telling you to upgrade or wait 10 secs to use this function again. It literally gives you five seconds before this appears!!.Version: 1.3.5
✓ Useless appNever been able to use app since downloading. Time~limit exceeded but have never been able to get to open..Version: 1.2.8
✓ GarbageNo time to magnify, no better magnification than your camera would provide. Says nothing about in-app purchases but demands upgrades to even function. Worst app I’ve ever downloaded..Version: 1.2.8
✓ Is it for real?I just download the app and find out that you have to Upgrade otherwise it’s not worth the use. I said for $1.99 I will upgrade and it didn’t work. Now I have one blank second app and the first one still telling me upgrade. I am going to get rid of both and find a better one..Version: 1.2.8
✓ UpgradeThis app keeps making you upgrade every 10 seconds and ask you do you want to upgrade then you have to wait like 10 seconds before you can hit no and I just kept coming back over and over and over.Version: 1.2.8
✓ Wasting my timeThis app used to have unlimited use. Now you get 10 seconds before you get an upgrade pop up. If you choose not to upgrade, then you have to wait until it gives you another 10 seconds. If you want people to pay for the app, charge for it from the beginning :(.Version: 1.2.8
✓ Does not work unless you pay, no notice.This works for 5 seconds and then wants me to upgrade. Don’t waste my time downloading something that doesn’t work. Or, at least explain in an opening screen what’s happening and that this a preview to your paid app. Otherwise I assume that this app works. Frustrated..Version: 1.2.8
✓ GoodGood.Version: 1.2.8
✓ Dishonest marketingThere’s no indication that this is not a free app. It is virtually unusable, however, unless you “upgrade”. It might be a good product, it might not, but I am not giving money to a cheat. The person marketing this needs to upgrade their moral compass..Version: 1.3.2
✓ Horrible upgradeThe most recent upgrade has destroyed the UX of this once free app. As a software and product development executive I would be ashamed if I had released an update that pressured my users to pay for an upgrade to my free app every 10 seconds. Your executive team should be ashamed of themselves for signing off on this “upgrade”. Your app will no longer reside on my go to apps, let alone my phone..Version: 1.2.8
✓ Too many adsThe time is so short between ads that it doesn't give you enough time to see what you're trying to see..Version: 1.2.8
✓ What a jokeThis is the first review I’ve ever left for an app.. I usually won’t go out of my way to leave a negative review; but things like this irk me.. badly. So yeah don’t waste your time even downloading this app.. you’ll have about two whole seconds to zoom in on the object you’re attempting to magnify and when those two seconds are up and you have barely gotten even a semi-clear visual on the object, you’re IMMEDIATELY BOMBARDED with the classic “upgrade now or continue to deal with our otherwise, fully bull$*&:+ excuse of an app prompting you to upgrade every two seconds”.. ha yeah what a joke. Delete.Version: 1.2.8
✓ Time Out!!!!!Might as well use the zoom on the camera now payment is required.Version: 1.2.8
✓ Magnifying GlassI was pretty underwhelmed by the performance of this app.Version: 1.2.8
✓ Can’t try it out unless you buy itCan’t try it out unless you buy it.Version: 1.2.9
✓ Pathetic. Don’t bother.As previous reviewer stated, you can’t get finished focusing before the app stops…asks you to upgrade…or wait 10-15 seconds to continue with the same scenario. Sadly, zero stars wasn’t an option for this review. I paid nothing for the app and feel egregiously overcharged. They obviously don’t want you to have a period of time to seriously evaluate it. And after taking 10 minutes to download, TRY to use it, then delete it…it’s clear why..Version: 1.2.8
✓ UselessThis is where you go to learn how NOT to build an app…..Version: 1.3.7
✓ Waste of dataAt least let the user experience the functionality of the app. Waste of data to download and be annoyed by the upgrade messages..Version: 1.2.8
✓ VoleurL’achat de l'application était d’environ 2$ canadiens. J’ai acheté l’application et je ce viens de recevoir une facturation de plus de 57$ sur ma carte de crédit. Le site web du développeur et l’assistance technique ne sont plus disponibles VOLEURS.Version: 1.2.8
✓ UselessYou get about 4 or 5 seconds before it stops working unless you upgrade. Do NOT bother. This was installed and deleted within the space of two minutes on my phone..Version: 1.2.8
✓ UselessUseless.Version: 1.2.8
✓ Keeps asking to upgrade ever few secondsI tried it on an iPhone 12 and lets you use for 3 seconds then asks for upgrade then you are forced to wait 10 sec and then hit continue ....3 seconds later it asks for upgrade again..... really? And it has 4.5 stars?.Version: 1.2.8
✓ Its a money grabI downloaded this app because it was the only one that didn’t have ‘in app purchases’. Technically it does not. What it does have is a few seconds timer and then the app shuts down for 10 seconds. You can stop that by ‘upgrading’. SMDH.Version: 1.2.8
✓ Useless unless you Pay Pay PayOnly zooms in 2 x. Not powerful at all.Version: 1.2.8
✓ TimeI downloaded this app. After a few seconds the magnifying glass stops and the app asks you to buy an upgrade for $2.79 …. That’s B.S. reason why I’m giving it one star. I didn’t even have the opportunity to review one piece of what I was looking at before the app locked. Don’t waste your time like I did..Version: 1.2.8
✓ Waste of TimeYou have about 10 seconds to focus and read whatever you're magnifying. If it's not done within that time frame you have to wait another 19 seconds to start over. The process repeats itself, until you upgrade. SMH.Version: 1.2.8
✓ UnusablePop ups come up every 3 seconds asking you to upgrade which then freeze the screen for 8 seconds. Don’t waste your time..Version: 1.2.8
✓ Rubbish rip-offAs soon as you try to use it, it demands money. Be honest, don’t lie..Version: 1.2.8
✓ How can anyone use this?Every 10 seconds it wants me to upgrade or wait several seconds to go back to use. How am I supposed to know if I like it enough to buy it if I can’t use it?? Bad from a marketing standpoint and end user experience..Version: 1.2.8
✓ ZoomIt is rubbish.Version: 1.2.7
✓ 10 seconds to use.This app and the other apps by the same creator is a joke. You open the app, right away it wants a review before you get a chance to use it, then you have 10 seconds to use the app, then you have to wait for the 10 seconds of the upgrade pop up if you want to continue using the app, and after another 10 seconds the upgrade pop up appears again, it’s a never ending cycle. Not worth the aggravation. I’ll find another app that’s worth using and upgrading if needed..Version: 1.2.8
✓ Don’t waste your time installing this appLiterally the very first thing that pops up when you first open the app is for you to review it. When using the app within seconds, it’s asking you to upgrade and counts down to 11 seconds if you don’t want to upgrade. It continues to do it every 10 seconds. You can’t even used the app without getting interrupted with the upgrade ad!! Super annoying!.Version: 1.2.8
✓ Don't waste time....Unless you're super-fast, then the Zoom is not really great for the 20 seconds you get before the blocked out sales pitch for the premium upgrade. Why not just be honest from the start?.Version: 1.2.8
✓ Free version …A few seconds to view something & if you’re not done by then, then you’re forced to pay. Sneaky developer. For that reason I give 2 stars..Version: 1.2.8
✓ Terrible focus and lightingThis app has no menu or area to turn your own flash on. Terrible quality focus and lighting. It forces you to pay $1.99 to even try it after you download it for free..Version: 1.3.7
✓ Not FreeThis app is free to download, sure. That’s it. No intelligent person would call what you get “free”. This app gives you a mere 5 or 6 seconds to try and see what you’re looking at before it grays out and you either have to upgrade or wait several seconds, even after waiting you still get about 5 seconds. It’s ridiculous. I have plenty of paid apps on my device, but I’m sure as heck not paying for one when I don’t know if it even works very well. I deleted the app from my device, it’s not worth it..Version: 1.3.7
✓ AnnoyingRidiculous timer after a few seconds nagging you to upgrade. Literally unusable. Also only limited to 2x magnification without paying too. I can’t believe this has so many genuine positive reviews. Rubbish.Version: 1.2.8
✓ RIP OFF!!!Selected because it does not say ‘in app purchases’. Hardly got the first magnified image focused and the developers want cash of me..Version: 1.2.8
✓ AvoidAs others have said, starts nagging you to upgrade within seconds of using it..Version: 1.2.8
✓ Upgrade or wait 10 secondsIt would be nice if I had a chance to get my finger on the zoom slider before it pixelized and hyped the upgrade. Would’ve had a better chance if you just charged from the get-go instead of wasting my time to download then delete..Version: 1.2.8
✓ Agree that the time allowed on free version is ridiculousAlso deceptive to give the impression it's a free app when the only way to get it to work AT ALL is to upgrade. It should be said upfront that there is a charge for a working version. I MAY still buy the upgrade because it's not expensive but I do feel misled. All I wanted to do was try it before I paid for it. Are you listening, App Store?.Version: 1.2.8
✓ No use at all“free app” with no in app purchases- stupidly I thought this was free. Reality is you have a few seconds of use in between a request to upgrade. Makes the app useless, and is not worth the cost of an upgrade..Version: 1.2.8
✓ Don’t bother3 seconds viewing time then 12 wait to see again unless you choose to upgrade. Got a much better result from my phone’s camera on zoomed in video mode - no upgrade needed.Version: 1.2.9
✓ Very disappointing - 5 seconds then shut down!!One of the most disappointing apps ever used. No real opportunity to access the app within the 5 seconds allowed before it disables itself and demands to be upgraded to enable continue. Any app or “offer” like invariably has something to hide and will be always be deleted. The design of any app that does that, although thought to be clever, is on a course of self destruct because very few people will buy it. Made it 5 minutes use, the perhaps, but 5 seconds is ridiculous. Will delete the waste of space app asap..Version: 1.3.6
✓ Not true it’s freeAs soon as I downloaded this app it asked for a review . Then told me to wait 8 seconds to use it or up grade . I waited , used it for a very short period then surprise , “wait ten seconds or up grade” or my favorite , not accessible for free features ..Version: 1.2.8
✓ Terrible don’t bother with itSupposed to be a free app but gives Very short time limit what felt like 3 seconds of magnifying before giving a long wait time to use again (or pay to remove it I suspect)? Deleted straight away what an annoying marketing tactic.Version: 1.2.9
✓ HorribleIt worked decently but every 30 seconds or so you would have to wait like 15 seconds to continue using it and then I would only get another 30 seconds unless you upgrade for $1.99. Ridiculous..Version: 1.2.8
✓ How this has 5*’s I’ll never know….This app shouldn’t even say it’s free - it’s a total gimmick! It doesn’t even give you enough time to see if the magnifying glass works before it freezes you into 10 second waiting periods, with your only options are the “Upgrade” or wait out every 10 seconds, for 5 seconds to use the mag glass. If you want to be frustrated and like to be suckered then by all means - this app is for you! I couldn’t even figure out if the mag glass was good since it freezes you out of using it so often it makes it impossible to use w/out purchase..Version: 1.2.8
✓ CrapWhat a piece of crap, I think I got three seconds use out of it before it wanted me to upgrade....take this f...ing App. and store it where the Sun Don’t Shine!.Version: 1.2.8
✓ Worst EverThe first thing that pops up when you open the app is asking for a review. How can one review what they did not even get to look at yet? So I clicked that pop up closed. Turned the light on to aid in looking at what I wanted to zoom in on, aimed it at what I wanted to magnify and the screen goes dark with a pop up that says “Time Exceeded” my choices were “Upgrade” or “Continue“ that another notification told me I would be allowed to continue for free in 10-15 seconds. That went away and I continued, aimed back on what I wanted to look at, as soon as it zoom d in, but did not have a chance to focus, the pop up telling me time was up and “Upgrade” or “continue” came back on. I tried ONE last time. I was able to focus and see the item I was zooming in in. THE IMAGE WAA THE EXACT SAME IMAGE ZOOM AS MY IPHONE NORMALLY HAS! I HATE that is even wasted my time in this stupid crap. You people who made this are the worst money grubbing SOBs ever. Wow. You’re terrible people..Version: 1.2.8
✓ Mean spirited treatment imhoI clik to use this and repeatedly get an 8 second time out if I dońt UPGRADE...the third time this app struck out. Life is too short to be treated so crassly. I am not going to be extorted. Shame on the bean counters. I know money makes the world go round and one needs a livelihood but I am not going to allow myself to be jerked about like this. Goodbye 4ever not one centavo from me..Version: 1.2.8
✓ Straight forward manual magnifierNeed to adjust magnification setting manually. Would be good if able to auto adjust.Version: 1.2.7
✓ Don’t touch with a barge poleThis app immediately asks you to upgrade despite no prior warning it includes in-app purchases. Even after upgrading it doesn’t work and continues to ask you to upgrade. I asked Apple for a refund and got it. Avoid..Version: 1.2.8
✓ GarbageIt worked for a few days but when I open the app it’s just a blank white screen now ie I can’t access it. I’ve tried downloading again it but its asking for another payment. Rip off..Version: 1.2.8
✓ Do not get this appIt only allows you to use it for 5 seconds before asking you to buy. Save yourself the time and get a different app. Complete waste of time.Version: 1.2.8
✓ Every 10 Seconds You Are Harassed to UpgradeConstantly annoying, embarassingly avaricious modal popups requiring an upgrade to get past the 10-second limit render this app in its current state totally useless. The developers need to think of a more reasonable business plan unless their goal is to alienate every new user of their app. There are plenty of magnifier apps that don’t treat their users this way. Stay away until this is fixed..Version: 1.2.8
✓ DON’T BUY IT. It’s not free.You have to upgrade and pay for this “free” app within seconds. App creators are getting creative at scam us. 😂.Version: 1.2.8
✓ Don’t Bother DownloadingGives you the opportunity to magnify for ten seconds before a splash screen interrupts your concentration and tell you that you should upgrade. Click continue to ignore the upgrade and use for another ten secs before the interrupting splash screen makes you wish you could delete the app faster than you can say ‘seriously guys????!’ Find yourself something that inhibits you but not like this..Version: 1.2.8
✓ Viewing limit!I saw the great number of reviews on this app and so got it. It times out every 10 seconds or so and has you wait before it will activate again. It’s asking you to upgrade to a two dollar app however you don’t even have enough time to evaluate the app before it shuts down. I took it off my phone immediately!.Version: 1.2.8
✓ Is it good? probably notBasic app gives you like 2.5 seconds before it forces you to upgrade, otherwise you have to waste ten seconds of your life before the app will do ITS PURPOSE again. Deleting right after I submit this review.Version: 1.3.8
✓ Terrible 0/10I’d rather have to do cbt on myself instead of using this app, it’s janky, it has a timer, and it’s zoom is worse than a Nintendo Dsi camera, and it’s constantly begging for money like your adult son who lives in your basement and only comes up for pizza rolls or to ask you for money for Vbucks. I’d rate zero stars if I could..Version: 1.2.8
