Magnifying Glass with light was in top 25 business applications in US store. It also rates 4.5 stars on the US app store.

Final Verdict:
Magnifying Glass with Light is a very handy tool. It can be used in multiple scenarios like, reading small text from medicine bottles, as a simple flashlight, or for reading without reading glasses. It can also solve the purpose of a mirror while you are using the secondary camera. Moreover, as it seems though, this is not replaceable by the default iOS camera application because of its zoom functions and focusing abilities. It is totally worth giving a try.
