Like what the app can do just not very compatible with my Google 7a camera.the resolution gets pretty grainy with just the small amount of zoom while I'm using it with taking photos or videos, looking at coins or something close up is fantastic and would like it to have an option to make the accessibility feature to be able to adjust key press length I'm always activating it by mistake. But great app can't wait to see in the future:)

I couldn't see the use vs just the camera, but played a bit and think I get it now. In a lit room it seemed the same. However, in the dark I could see things in this app that wouldn't be seen on camera without light or taking a photo then looking at it in Google photos (more files to delete, just to see/read something), since I can't use flashlight app w/camera. Might be useful just walking when it's so dark you can't see. Maybe; haven't tested that yet.🙂 Dark restaurant menu next. 🤞🏽

Great to see a magnifier app directly from Google. The contrast and flashlight adjustment settings are great. I also appreciate the ability to take a still image of something to view clearly without it saving to your device /Google Photos. However, I still find myself using the camera app / video mode + the screen magnifier for a more "stable" view of something I need to quickly see or read. (Pixel 6)
