Does anyone use an additional lense with thier iPhone X?

I wondered what add on lenses were used by people on their iPhoneX. I did have a set that was recommended on a site, possibly Wirecutter. Beyond the number of alternate set ups with screw-ons for Macro, telephoto, wide angle etc, I found the results to be unsatisfactory. Adding the lens was fine but tryin to use the phones telephoto function resulted in extremely grain shots. And I found that if the lens wasn't positioned perfectly I got poor images.

Is there a better alternative or am I doomed unless I upgrade to a multi lens phone?

This is what I had

Do your research before you hit "Buy" on Amazon:

Read customer reviews closely: Amazon reviews are a goldmine of information. Look for reviews that mention specific features or functionalities that are important to you. See if the product lives up to its promises in real-world use. Are there any recurring complaints that might be a deal-breaker for you?
Compare reviews to your needs: Don't just skim positive reviews. Look for reviews from people with similar needs and compare their experiences to your expectations.
Reach out to the manufacturer: If you have specific questions about a product's features or capabilities, don't hesitate to contact the manufacturer directly. Their website or a quick phone call can clarify any grey areas and ensure the product truly fits your needs.
Consider a hands-on trial: Whenever possible, try to visit a physical store and see the product in person. This is especially helpful for electronics, clothing, or anything where user experience is a big factor. Holding it, using it, and getting a feel for it can reveal details that photos and reviews might miss.

By taking these steps, you'll be a much more informed shopper and less likely to encounter post-purchase surprises!
