So glad you added your bit, succinct enough she could have done it too.

You could have done the same thing I did, which was to simply click the
link. To save you time, wear and tear on fingers, devices, etc., and
energy, here is what the app is all about.

MagniFire
iOS iPad
*** $29.99 FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY! ***
MagniFire turns your iPad into a full-featured, text-aware low-vision
magnifier! High-end desktop models can cost over $3,000. MagniFire is the
future of low-vision magnifiers!
MagniFire is the only low-vision magnifier for iPad that uses Blindsight's
patented text detection algorithms to HELP YOU READ by organizing all the
text in a snap and presenting it line by line.
When is MagniFire for me?
* If you struggle to see, especially to read
* If you have AMD (age-related macular degeneration), Glaucoma, Diabetic
Retinopathy, Cataracts, or other visual impairment
* If you own - or have considered buying - a portable or desktop video
magnifier but want the portability of the iPad and the convenience of
carrying only one device for all your tablet needs.
How does it work?
1. Point the iPad camera at an everyday challenge and tap to Freeze the
View:
* a PRODUCT LABEL such as a MEDICINE BOTTLE
* a MENU
* an OPERA PLAYBILL
* a HANDOUT at a CONFERENCE
* a NEWSPAPER or MAGAZINE
* a small OBJECT such as JEWELRY
Alternatively, choose an image from another source
2. For TEXT areas, let MagniFire use OCR to READ THE DESIRED TEXT FOR YOU,
and NAVIGATE EASILY to the desired part of the document or label
3. CHOOSE YOUR ENHANCED VIEW
* Magnify 3 to 30 times
* Choice of CONTRAST and COLOR BLAST MODES
4. ZOOM / PAN around OBJECTS and PHOTOS
Coming soon:
MagniFire for iPhone and iPod Touch!
Please let us hear from you - we built MagniFire FOR YOU and we live to make
it easier for you to read and see.
What's new
The obligatory iOS7 update--but we've wrapped in a few major improvements to
our VoiceOver integration, with many more on the roadmap.

I assume from the name of the app, it is a screen magnifier, but please give
more information when you post this.

Hello, All!
If any of you have an iPad, you might find this app particularly
interesting. They say on the page that an iPhone version will be
coming out soon.
The app is free at the moment if you want to check it out. Here's the
link:

All the best!
