I decided to trade in my old flip phone and see what the 21st Century is like. Can anyone make suggestions for a microscope app?

I did a search of CCF and did not find any mentioned (maybe my search terms were too narrow?)

I'm not aware of a microscope app, but a macro lens such as this paired with an iPhone works pretty decently.

Thanks - I found this one which is not from China (!)...would this work for detail closeups of coin details?

The 6S kind of bugs me, because its not really good at shooting pics up close... With my old 4S, I used a carved piece of hard foam about 3-4 inches off of the ground, and it worked great. Ever since I got my 6S, I have not been able to take adequate close up pics of coins. However, I did find that it can take up to 5-6 inches to achieve the same effect, which is annoying.

Not sure if the telescope would work for coins ... looks kinda shaky. Don't be too sure that seller's from the US, glancing at their feedback I read:

Thanks, everyone. This helps! You gave me some ideas on doing searches. I ordered this: Phonescope with up to 60x. I figured that for $21.25, including shipping, it was worth a try!
