the concept and lens function were great ... BUT it escaped quality control with 2 serious defects. 1) the clip attachment didn't match the grooves on the lens and had to be forced together to be stable 2) there was either a crack or a thread internally across the lens ...with no way to clean it or check it. I will replace it and hope for better. Without the defects I might recommend.

The lens works great as long as there is no wind. If it is windy, it shakes all over and causes blurry pictures.

It is plastic and all but the lens works perfect, I have a 21 mega pixel camera on my phone and took 2 pictures of the same scene I could plainly read a store front sign in the one with the lens and could not even see it without I love this

This is not the greatest lens on the planet. I guess it technically works, but not worth it. Find a better one.

I was really excited about getting this lens, but it's much too heavy for a cell phone. It might work with a tripod, but that would be defeating the point. There also was not a large enough hole to go over the flash. Most disappointed.

Passive zoom lens that works well depending on phone model. Usually need to remove the case but it's a good deal if you need something quick without spending a lot of cash.

I got this lens set for my iPhone 6plus. As the package said that it would work with my phone. After reading the instructions, I tried installing the lens on my 6plus. No matter what way I tried, it did Not fit.
Does not work!

This will magnify your phone camera, but it isn't very clear and it blurs around the edges in a circle. It's not too bad, but looks like a cheap Instagram filter. And at maximum zoom you'll notice every little shake so video isn't very useful unless the phone is on a tripod or holder.

If u have a case in your phone which most people today do...you won't get a clear view. I wasted my money. I gave it to my daughter to play around with. She doesn't even use it. Only effective I guess if you don't have a case on your phone.

Had too much trouble to get it centered on my phone lens. Don't work with cases well either, always seemed to be off to a side. Returned it at day one, useless.
