Probably of limited use
I have a Hauwei P20 Pro - it has a triple lens, and more than one lens may be used to take a photo. I have not managed to take a photo yet. It is very fiddly to set up - best to focus it off the camera by twisting the knurled ring near the lens, then fine adjustment once attached. The camera's autofocus gets a bit confused with it. The snap fastener squeezes quite strongly onto the phone glass - I'm not sure that is good for the phone. Your phone needs to be on a tripod otherwise the image will be too unsteady to get a decent photo. All in all - I wouldn't buy it again.
Just what I wanted!
Good zoom lens at a good price. I regularly have Kites over my garden and always wanted to get a few close up snaps, now I can!
WHAT A VIEW!!
Purchased this specifically to help with wildlife shots, mostly birds whilst using my mobile phone.Has certainly worked very well to date and more than exceeded my expectations! Thank you !!
Useful bit of kit
Fitted in both planes and that was very useful.
Not what is advertised
The 8x zoom does not focus on my iPhone 7 Plus even though it states the lenses work with all smartphones.
Not a zoom
Promoted as a zoom lens, this is not- it is a fixed focal length telephoto. Also, on my iPhone, iPad and laptop it shows vignetting ( black corners to the image).
My complaints about this (several attempts) are never addressed.

Hi Michael

Hopefully someone has been in touch with you. Sorry to hear you are not a fan of this item. Unfortunately, unless you are really up on your photography, I doubt most people would understand the term 'focal length telephoto', but zoom actually means something to people, generally of being able to take a shot of something further away. I hope this helps.
Not suited to iPhone
Difficult to centre over iPhone lens
Did not work for me.
Produced reduced image. I could not make a proper image after many tries. I eventually gave it to my son who seemed happier with it than me.
Zoom lens
I have only tested so far but I am happy with the results and feel it will be useful to carry with my phone
Very disappointing
That the lens was not fit for purpose. It simply does not work as a telephoto lens.
Works well
Although some reviews were critical of this device I found it works well and is useful and fun.
You get what you pay for.
At this price I wasn't expecting it to be a high quality product, and it isn't. It's quite tricky to get it accurately sited over the phone's camera lens without producing a 'keyhole' effect, and adjusting the zoom usually results in the lens moving again. If you're going to 'tether' the phone on a tripod or similar stand, and use a fixed zoom level, it'll do a reasonable job for the price, but it has a very limited application.
Useless!
Don't buy this, it can't focus no matter what you try. Complete waste of money.
Ideal gift
I purchased this as a gift for a relative who likes using her phone to take photos. It was an unusual gift and delighted the recipient. The price was very good and the delivery was fast and efficient.
I would recommend this .
Really useful addition to phone.
Bought one for Christmas for my grandaughter as she is such a creative little photographer on her second hand phone!
Easy to use and good depth of filed
The device is easy to use and has a good depth of field BUT you need to focus on the object to photo with the unit OFF the camera using your eye. Then attach the unit to the camera and it will be focused fine for that target.
Clarity is good, compact, protective gears
Just recieved the product. First of all, the clarity and manual focus is good which is the major objective. However, the only downside is full frame images won't work with this, meaning the pictures come within a circle.
Completely useless
Item does not fit plain on the lense so you only get a blury picture. Still trying to find the right link to return the item but I only found the form that needs a return-code to return it.

Not that good
Sadly very dissappointed. Very fiddly to get camera lens over eye of phone camera. Then it's awkward to adjist the lenses focus. Also makes phone awkward to hold.
Fun starter product
I'm by no means a professional photographer, but my regular camera broke, so I wanted to experiment with a zoom lens for my phone. This is easy and super fun to use. It's a little tricky to get the placement right so that the lens doesn't obstruct the viewfinder, but once I got the hang of that, it's just a matter of taking pics like normal, but I'm zoomed in just as I would be on a regular camera. It makes me want to experiment with other versions too. If you don't need much and don't have much to spend, this is perfect.
Great
Bought it for my granddaughter who loves photography. She has used the device and things it's great
Good follow up. You get what they say
Took I while to receive. But the follow up was great!
Good zoom
This is a good product for increasing the zoom on a smartphone. However it is difficult to position the zoom over the lens of the camera and it twists when adjusting the focus. So it's quite a fiddly device. If positioned correctly it takes a good zoomed photo.
not good
not as good as u say it is rubbish really
