Where Magnifier Reader wins

The phone becomes a magnifier with contrast and the ability to freeze an image, so small labels, menus, and documents become readable without straining.

When Squinting at Small Print still makes sense

Good reading glasses solve many cases. The app helps when glasses are not enough, not at hand, or the print is exceptionally small.
