Nokia Releases Pocket Magnifier App

(RTTNews) - Nokia has launched the Pocket Magnifier app that allows Windows phone users to use the phone camera as a magnifying glass.

Created in collaboration with the Royal National Institute of Blind people, the app comes in handy for users with weaker vision.

Users can zoom in and out, tap to focus, freeze the viewfinder, or even use a flashlight or filters to make text more readable.

Nokia is also pushing out a few updates to some of its existing apps like the Nokia Chat Beta, Nokia Storyteller Beta. Nokia's Glance app is also being updated to support Windows Phone 8.1.

The pocket magnifier, along with the updated apps are available on the Windows Phone Store.
