Poor image quality

I don't know what this does but it totally pixellates images, far beyond what I expect. The equivalent Quartz filter on the Mac produces similar sized files to this with images more or less indistinguishable (on screen) from the original. I hoped to cut the Mac out of the process but this program was not the solution.

How does this app not have 1000+ reviews?

It's one of the best apps I've ever used. It's so easy to use and gets you exactly what you need in an instant. All I wanted to do was compress my PDF so that I can email it easily, this does that efficiently and fast! The loss of quality is barely noticeable even at ridiculously small file sizes. I love this app

Very useful

This was one of those irritating jobs I left to the Mac.. which was often complicated and hit-and-miss to get the right balance between quality and size.
This app is perfect - lets you try different optimisations quickly and compare to the original in a fast snappy fashion. Top marks!

Excellent app

This app saved the day for me. I do volunteer marketing for charity, and I had done a newsletter that was quite vital to the success of an upcoming charity sale. I took a chance and downloaded this app this morning and, in no time, it reduced a 23MB doc to an easily-transmissible 6MB, maintaining perfectly acceptable clarity. My newsletter will now be able to reach thousands of people, and our sale stands a better chance of success. The all operates very easily. You will love it.

Excellent

Not sure how this wasn't reviewed previously. Total gem. Easy to use software and scaling ability for compression. Also shows side-by-side window to compare compressed version with original.

Never work

Don't waste your time and money! Not doing any work at all, always says: your file has already been optimized. I believe it's just scammed app to steal money.

Very Handy

Works well to reduce file size, great for image heavy pdfs created on iPad. Like having a bunch of quartz filters but without the need to transfer to a Mac to compress.
