ZDNET's key takeaways

• The free Magnifier + Flashlight app works with any Android phone.
• It magnifies small text or far-off signs, making things easy to read.
• The app also features a flashlight for dim settings.

Fortunately, I've found a tool that can turn frustratingly small menu text or fine print into something easy to see. Also fortunately, there's a good chance you can access this tool for free.
