Thanks--- I was able to add the Cozy Magnifier app, miracle of miracles as it went smoothly. I even updated my goggle photos which it said was required to do.
My pleasure man, glad I could assist.

1. Is "magnifier" only for 1.0 - 4.0X as that seems to be the case??
There should be an icon that reads "x4" or the microscope icon will also get you into the really good magnification.
2. Microscope--is that what gets me to 30 or 60X?
Do you have to be really close to object as viewing a printed paper I got a giant blur, but I was 2" away?
Yeah man, you're going to have to back up , and quite a bit, it's odd that one has to pull back with a magnifying tool, but the camera isn't able to focus at that close of a range using the app's software.
I use a little tripod for phones to hold it steady as stability is paramount in magnification
3. Any good tutorials to view or read on how to use Cozy?
I found one and he had a "slide bar" to adjust mag power but mine/ what I was using didn't have that.
Not sure if there are any tutorials, but you can email the creator of the app, they have responded to my inquiries rather quickly and even upgraded me to the "pro" version for free.
I also went through all reviews looking for advice.
Tap once to gain some clarity, each time you tap, it should clear things up.
To start, I would aim for about 8-12x to familiarize yourself with the nuances of the app.
I also have a very handy little magnifying glass I got from Walgreens, it slides open, and when you slide it all the way out, a very bright white LED light is engaged to light up those Trichomes.
I think it's 8$, not really powerful but all my friends love it for flower inspection.
Every time I have friends over for a sesh, or whatever, they always ask..
"Where is that magnifying thingy?"
