    This was the 1st magnifying program I've found and I didn't find a better. I have the following problem in version 3.5 and 3.4, probably because of the dynamic mode, although I used classic, moving the lens with the mouse. I have Hungarian keyboard, where instead of the Right Alt key there is a Alt Gr key . For example to get "|" (vertical bar) I have to press Alt Gr+W, but this doesn't work (copy-paste a "|" char works). I have XP SP3. Version 3.3.2 works well !

    Hello how are you, I'm Amin . First I want to thank you and congratulate you on this wonderful program, has helped me a lot to read, browse topics forums, and read the small writing, within the Windows boxes, and read books, especially, I have some suggestions for improving this application: Adding a property to make it not disappear when you click on the screen. (Such as what is found in Windows) when pressing CTRL+U I hope to increase the possibility for the return of the lens to the: beginning of the screen, the end of the screen, because when you finish reading the line have to return back, But it is the tired look, and scattered to focus on, I suggest that by the right button of the mouse, when you press the button at the beginning of the screen It Will be in the end of line , and when you press it in the end Will be in the start of line. If possible, back button lens to the center, the ability of read a PDF book when it is in the form of an open book, and this is what I do often when reading. These improvements guarantee you that would make it the best software provides this service, even more than the lens in Windows xp or 7, because it is not have the mouse wheel zoom, and it is not possible to change the shape of the lens in or out. Note: Green colorwhich was previously in version 2.5, was fantastic (Dragnifier) I am waiting for new updates Thanks Donations

    This works well to a point. Once the issue of being able to move the window arround and also type in text boxes beneath, without the glass diappearing, it will be better than any other application on the web free or paid. Good work.
