Clip on smart phone lenses?

Has anyone used one before and are they any good? I’ve been shopping around and I’m not to sure I find the same lens on one site with decent reviews but bad reviews on another.
 
I’ve used the PolypLab Lens and just recently bought an Aquariclip. I like both a lot and would recommend either.

Here are some recent shots I’ve taken using it on my iPhone 6S. Not the best camera there is but they come out very clear.

I got one from amazon, about $20 shipped from china, took a couple weeks but I quite like it. It also came with a magnifying lens which is really cool for anything that's right up against the glass but otherwise it's a bit too blurry.

Super photo heavy coming up.
GSP is with whites on lens no lens and magnifier.
Zoas and hammer are with whites off. Black box LEDs btw.

Was at Homegoods today with the wife and saw a clip on lens 1 macro 1 wide angle. Cost $5. Here are some macro pics.

I've been using an app called "Aquarium Camera" which color corrects quite well without the need for a filter. Here are some shots of Kylo Ren, my weird urchin:

I rarely bother with the filter when I've got the app.

HOLY FILTERS BATMAN!

I’ve run RAW cameras, 3-4 pro camera apps, filters, and combos of all the above. That app hit it out of the park in comparison.

Thanks for the lead. Lovin it. Best $3 I’ve spent in a while and had I known about it last year i would have saved about $100.

Heres a shot I just took under 100% blues allowing the app to choose the gel color and filter...

I’ve been using the orange filter, and the aquarium app. It helps get more realistic pics with the phone.
