    Mag Light APP

    I’ve been using an APP (I phone)  several years now and is quite useful.

    This is how I have used it:

    Flashlight with variable intensity
    Magnifying glass with variable zoom
    Camera with or without light on

    Best part, you can turn on light to view in dark place, magnify, and then take a picture.

    Also blindly take a pictures where you can’t even get your head or sometimes hand into.
    I use it a lot at work and home...darn old age.

    Sometimes I wish I could change location of camera button due to location of light to get into tight spaces.

    Re: Mag Light APP

    I had a genius idea for an app some years ago.  It would turn the phone into a looking glass with your eyeglass prescription.  A buddy of mine who is super tech savy and I looked into it, but unfortunately the technology isn't there yet.  The current screens are flat and can't be set up to act curved.  I was heartened that a group at MIT is working on a screen that would allow you to do that.  Oh well, so much for my get rich quick scheme...

    Try using the camera's timer to take pictures in tight spaces where you have difficulty getting you finger on the button.

    Re: Mag Light APP

    I've found taking a video of the area I'm inspecting, then using screenshots from the video helpful. My pics only in difficult areas rarely results in useful pics.

    I've used it to find p/n and s/n's to look behind the instrument panel in the movie mode on several airplanes. Don't have to remove instruments anymore to get needed info. Also used it to trace wires under the instrument panel on the Mustang for the cruise control.
