Super Powers For Your Eyes!
Lumin is an electronic magnifying glass for your iPhone or iPod. Not only does it magnify items, it can also keep a running history of images and can save or share these images with your friends via e-mail, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Locked images can be magnified 10 times, or even more with ideal lighting, and can also be automatically mirrored to your Dropbox account.
Lumin also controls the camera flash on your device, so you can illuminate and magnify dark, hard-to-reach places with ease.
Lumin is:
- a set of high-resolution reading glasses, with you wherever you take your iPhone
- a versatile magnifying glass with the ability to lock a magnified image
- a quick-capture camera that does not store images to your library unless you choose to
- a quick-share mechanism for sending captured images via email, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram
For such a simple utility, the uses you’ll find for Lumin are endless:
- read restaurant menus with ease, even in low light
- read and share wine bottle labels
- zoom the fine print on contracts
- grab the serial number - in the dark - on the back of that cable box
- check your teeth, or makeup
- capture quick images you don’t want in your photo library, but do want to send somewhere
- look bugs in the eye
- see what’s under the couch, or the seat of your car
- send a close-up of your kid’s bruise to the doc
Your imagination is the limit!
* use of the camera flash/torch is limited to iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s models.
NOTE: Make sure you try a zoom gesture to see the magnifying power of Lumin! You can double-tap, or do a pinch-out to zoom in. Pinch, or two-finger tap to zoom out. Locking gets you even more magnification!
Latest reviews of Lumin app for iPhone and iPad
Really a kind of RAW feeling. Great!! To be improved: - orientation of photo fixed - no correction of light or area of sharpness possible Otherwise one of my favorite apps (in combination with other photo apps like Leonardo or Pro HDR X).
Im packing for a trip tonight and so many things on my "one bag packing list" are checked off by just carrying my iPhone. Ill be on vacation and volunteering where I need to read tiny print. Lumin adds a tool to my phone. It still works great even in ios9 & w my 6s plus. Read and save tiny print on game cards or circuit boards. Great app elegant & flexible. Back to packing!
This has been great for me. Especially love taking portraits of my children. I wish the app had anti-shake, but when you snap the shot, it does produce a remarkably sharp image. Best zoom feature Ive seen in all the camera apps Ive tried.
Massive update to Lumin. Really makes it much more useful. Super stable - at least for me. Also, regarding all the reviews that say "stuck on Help screen", all you have to do is tap on the live photo area below the help overlay and youre in. Couldnt be simpler. Nothing wrong with the update, and between the "picture in picture" and history palette additions (not to mention the new share options) its an awesome refinement of an already great tool. Try it again guys! (and maybe update your reviews?)
Great App. Last update froze app on help screen first few times it opened but after shutting phone off and back on it works great.
