Review Summary
In Zoom is widely praised for its powerful, user-friendly image and video zoom features that outperform alternatives. Its configurable controls like ESC to reset zoom and Shift+wheel enhance usability. Users appreciate its unique ability to zoom any part of content and its usefulness for learning and accessibility. However, recurring issues include mouse wheel scrolling being disabled when active, limited functionality in fullscreen modes, and lack of recent updates. Some site-specific problems, like Twitter incompatibility, are also noted. Overall, it remains a top choice for zooming despite some quirks.
