It seems as if there's an
iPhone application for everything these days. A new application called iMagnify can even substitute for a pair of eye glasses. Simply put, iMagnify transforms your iPhone into a powerful magnifying glass. With the application, users can enlarge an image from 1x to 4x. The magnification is controlled by a slide on the display, providing pinpoint precision or a broad range.
iMagnify works equally well in dimly lit restaurants or on brightly lighted streets. It is ideal for quickly checking nutrition facts at the grocery store, reading the dosage on a medicine bottle, making certain that your receipt is accurate, glancing at a menu, browsing through the labels on cosmetics, and the hundreds of other common instances when you need to read fine print, but only for a moment. Its appeal also extends to coin collectors, philatelists, and hobbyists of every stripe, who will appreciate the instant access to detail that iMagnify offers.
iMagnify is available in the App Store by visiting
