Eye Glasses

Works as advertised!

By: StStephen67

I have a 3GS so I can't compair against other phones but on my phone this puppy works great! I've used it several times in different lighting and it hasn't failed me yet. Thanks to Freeverse for this wonderful application

Great!

By: eagleeye82

I had this idea over one year ago. I am glad somebody finally made the app. Works perfect! But you do need a 3GS.

This is a great app. Works just as described with my 3GS. I used to carry a little magnifier in my wallet to read the little print on product labels when shopping. From now on all I need is my iPhone

Out of focus on iPhone 3G

By: Alfredoi

It just doesn't work on my 3G phone. It out of focus. The 3GS warning was not posted until after I purchased. I should get my money back.

Does what it says.

By: Prof 2

This app does exactly what it says it does. I gave it 4 stars because of the eyeglass frame taking up valuable reading space. GoMagnify does the same thing without the frame and is free. Enjoy.

Well made

By: Docshlo

Works as described. No need to carry eye glasses for the occasional use. Using a 3GS, works well in low light conditions and the digital zoom isn't the same as using the camera itself.

Not for iPhone 3.0 or 3.1

By: Techbooklover

The description doesn't clearly state that this doesn't work with this model phone. The image is blurry and I can't focus it. I deleted the app because it was useless.

Not good on my 3G

By: desistx

Too high a price for this very limited app. At 99 cents it would be OK, but should be 3 times as good as it is at 2.99.

Use on 3GS, Not same as camera app

By: DisirVisage

I have a 3GS and eye glasses works as advertised. It is a nice utilitiy. Other reviews say this is the same functionality as the camera app, but they are not correct, I compared both. This app uses the camera capability and then digitally magnifies the image at various scales. A mode without the eyeglass frame and a way to take a snapshot in the app would be nice. Of course, you can take a picture by doing a screen snap, which is to hold down the home button and single click the top on/off button once.

Useless unless...

Capable of viewing 4-point fonts under perfect conditions (4 stars).

No need for Glasses when reading a menu...

By: Ndorfin13

I think this app works very well, except sometimes the auto-focus tries to focus if you move the iphone too much. However, it's a great alternative to glasses, cause I always forget mine when I go to the restaurant. I've been waiting for this kind of app for a while.

You can't be serious

By: rigilous

This app is useless. The magnified image is blurry, even at the lowest setting of 2x and in bright light. It wouldn't work at all in dim light, unless you keep a flashlight with you at all times (maybe in your fanny pack). It's too bad it's not a physical device, because at least it would be useful for something else (paper weight, door stop). I wish I could rate this zero stars. I want my $2.99 back from "Free"verse, Inc.

Absolutely Useless

By: dsgerard

Thought it was a gtreat idea for the times I forgot my reading glasses for menus,etc. Horribilly flawed,... think about it. The iPhone camera lens can not focus close enough to get a good shot of the print until it is 18-20 inches away making the print very small and then this program just magnifies the already unreadable print. Looks like a Roschart(?) ink blot on 8x magnification. Some apps have disappointed and no big deal for a buck or two, but this one annoyed me enough to right a review. The people that wrote this know darn well that it doesn't even come close to working as described...Wish I could get my money back. It MIGHT work on a 3Gs model that focuses

Works - almost perfect

By: KyleSheu

I have to read tiny serial numbers off things for work and my eyes just don't focus like they used to. This program works really well for that, I'd give it 5 stars if it had a button to save what i'm viewing as a photo. Please include that in the next update.

You really need 3GS

By: Unkle Buddy

I was excited and downloaded before reading that it works best with 3GS iPhones. My 3G doesn't have autofocus, so it's blurry. Great idea and if you have a 3GS, I'd say go ahead. Otherwise, don't bother.

Misleading!

By: sproutandscout

If you do not have the 3GS don't bother. Though they say it works with the 3G or itouch it really doesn't do what it should do, that is magnify small print so that you can read it. What it does is just makes small print a bit larger but also very blurry to the point that you cannot read it at all. I was very excited about this app and I am now very disappointed that it is completely useless.

Absolutely Blurry and Useless!

What You'd Expect

By: Calvin Knight

Eye Glasses is a simple application that does a pretty good job of magnifying things. It takes a little practice finding the object at first since the iPhone's camera lens is in the corner of the back. You can hold something with small print in one hand and your iPhone in the other, but you're best off putting the object on a table or flat surface to hold it steady and then move your iPhone about 8" away. The higher the power the more pixelated the image becomes, but that's to be expected. Most of the time 2X or 4X should work fine. For $2.99, it seems reasonably priced if there's a need to use it quite often.

Should take Snapshot too

By: jweiser1925

Very handy Application, would be nice if you could also snap a picture.

Only useful for 3GS

By: NoEyes4Me

Tried it on a 3G (not 3GS), and it was of no value. While the writeup advises using 3GS, it doesn't mention that the app is of no benefit whatsoever with other iPhones. The lack of auto focus on other iPhones makes the image on this application less readable than it is to the naked eye, so this application should be sold for the 3GS only.

be careful...

By: OGR81

do not buy this if you have 2G or 3G. It doesnt work well for these phones. you MUST have auto-focus!

Ripoff!

By: Dr.Patel

If you wear reading glasses this app does not work! It was obviously invented by people who don't wear them. It is not as promised.

Silly

By: Hopalong60

No different than just using camera on phone. For $3 you get a image of looking through eyeglasses. Ripoff.

ingenious!

By: HBC3

Very clever and useful. Above 2x magnification the digital zoom starts to pixelate, but that's to be expected.

The Best $2.99 You'll Ever Spend, PERIOD!

By: jimde

This app works absolutely perfectly, exactly as described! And best of all it's simple to use. Without a doubt the best $2.99 I ever spent!
