Sometimes the simplest apps can be the best. Magnifier Flash proves that point. It allows you to zoom in on your subject at up to 6x magnification, and you can light it up with your iDevice’s LED flash. You can even snap a photo of what you’re looking at while zoomed in to save it for later.

If you struggle with small text, Magnifier Flash will make your life so much easier. It’s like having a magnifying glass with you wherever you go.

You’ll need a steady hand, and you still may not be able to get a crisp look at what you want since it’s using digital zoom.

Why we picked this?

Taylor and his crew have crash-landed on an alien moon. Taylor can’t be sure if his crew is dead or missing. His communicator can only reach you. As Taylor works to stay alive, you’ll receive new messages in the form of notifications throughout the day. These messages will update you on what Taylor is up to in real-time, and allow you to guide the story in whichever direction you choose. It’s an immersive experience that you won’t want to miss.

If you prefer games with a deep storyline, you have to check out Lifeline. It’s especially fun if you have an Apple Watch, which allows you to communicate with Taylor right from your wrist.

If you require your games to have top-notch graphics and intense gameplay, this is not your game.
