Magnifying Glass +++ Magnifier4.0.2

The original and still the best.

The New York Times - Gadgetwise: App of the Week
“Of the several magnification apps I tried, my favorite is Magnifying Glass from I-Beam. The iPhone app is simplicity itself. Turn it on, point the camera at the fine print, and touch the plus button until it is enlarged enough to read. Two other built-in features I like: the button that instantly resets the image to low magnification, and the camera button, which lets you take a photo of your close-up.”
- Roy Furchgott, The New York Times

Magnifying Glass helps you see more clearly on your iPhone and iPad.
Whether you’re reading small text, examining fine details, or viewing objects up close, Magnifying Glass provides powerful visual tools that are easy to use and fully under your control.
With infinite zoom, the ability to freeze, rotate, filter, and enhance the live view, and manual control over focus and exposure, you can adjust the image exactly how you need it. A built-in flashlight with adjustable brightness helps illuminate hard-to-see areas, making it easier to read and inspect in low-light situations.
Magnifying Glass also works as a fully functional zoom camera, making it useful at home, at work, or on the go.
