For the price, this thing is pretty cool. However, it has a few disadvantages.
Is that a $300 microscope? Absolutely not. And if you were expecting $300-level performance, you'll be sorely disappointed. But for $43 (current price), I'd say it's pretty darn awesome. Pros: It works and delivers incredibly clear, highly magnified images. Everyday objects like fabric, wood, leaves, hair, etc. get a whole new look. The app is relatively easy to use and connecting the microscope wirelessly was a breeze. Cons: The app isn't completely stable and I experienced a crash about every 15 minutes. Not a big problem and rebooting is easy, but it still happens. Also, the LED lights on the microscope cause a slight yellowish-green discoloration on many of the objects you are viewing. Image sharpness is pretty good, but color fidelity isn't. Even though it claims it's 50-1000x, I think that's wrong. The lowest zoom setting seems likely to be in the 50x to 100x range as advertised. The higher zoom levels are digital zoom only (so no higher resolution) and don't appear to be much higher than the lowest level. From my general impression it seems that 50-200x would be more accurate.
