I ordered this Digital Microscope to introduce my granddaughter (6 yrs old) to the science of magnification. The kid-friendly design is non-intimidating, and easy to use (once the initial setup is done). I like that the product comes with everything needed (batteries, lens cover, carry case, user manual, etc) and even a set of prepared slides. However, the initial setup is a bit of a challenge. To enable usage with my laptop, I went to the Microsoft app store and installed the hiView app. To use with my android phone, I was able to scan the Q-code that is in the manual, and download the app from the Google Playstore. I then had to explore the different options and settings in the app. Once up and running, I was able to get very impressive crystal clear hi-def hi-magnification images. Besides the prepared slides (butterfly wing, etc) I tried out a leaf, a feather, and then my finger - my granddaughter became fascinated seeing things so magnified. And with the app, it is easy to capture images/video. The manual is OK, but could be better. It doesn't provide a lot of info on getting the best image, using the backlighting, etc. Also, there are several plastic "thingie" parts that came with the scope and which I have no idea/info on what they are used for. Is this a laboratory grade scientific instrument? No. But for the price, this a great way to introduce a child/young adult to using a microscope and discovering how ordinary things become extraordinary when they are highly magnified. Two thumbs up!
