This was a very fun buy!

I want to start off with a bit of information on setting up:

The directions need to be a little more clear, it is obvious that the instructions were originally in Mandarin Chinese and translated to English, but in general, they were understandable. I also did not have a hard time setting up the app on my phone and on my Laptop. The app on the phone is a lot more simplistic in design than the PC counterpart. They both generally work the same way though.

There is not a lot of assembling to do in this product, but keep in mind that when placing in your Microscope on the stand, be VERY careful. There is a rubber piece at the end of the microscope that really makes the stand a tight fit. If you are not careful, you might accidentally push too hard and shatter the glass protector. My recommendation is that you place a hand under the microscope while you push the scope down into the stand, that way you don't risk breaking the product.

I also noticed that the PC App has a 1 star review, I tried the app myself and I did not have any problems with it. The reviewer wrote that the app does not have enough options, which was odd since I felt like it had all the options I needed and it was very simple to use. If I had to rate the App, I would give it 4 stars at the very least. With that in mind, don't worry about the PC App, it works perfectly and with no issues.

Other than the App, I believe the microscope works perfectly, the images are crystal clear, its portable and you can take it anywhere, but most of all, I think its just great for people who are plain curious.

Now... dont expect to be able to see Cells with this microscope, but you can see things so closely, that it really will surprise you! In this Review, you will see a set of some of my Favorite Pictures I have taken with this Device. One will look like a white rock with Craters (That's Coral), there is another of a Ant Wing, a small chunk of Spider Webbing, A actual piece of poop, an Ant (around 200x zoom), the tip of a WWI Combat Blade, and finally, a pink petal from a hibiscus plant (You can see the cells on this one, I think?)

I have already taken over 70 pictures, but those were my favorite. Overall, I loved using this product, and I will keep using it! I have a plan of setting some slides with prepared specimens to show my students in school. I'm sure they would love to see the world around them in a microscopic level.

I definitely recommend this to anyone who loves to collect rocks, bugs, or anything that you would want to see up close. Ultimately, I think anyone who is just curious in general would love this. It is a bit pricey, but I think you'll definitely enjoy the product regardless.
