Waited for 1hr 45 min…nothing

This app is a waste of time. It said it would take 60-90 min to compress my file (! Unless I paid for the paid version) So I waited over 1hr 45 min before giving up and using a different app.

Useless app

Please watch out. This appears is be fake. I uploaded one document and after hours nothing happened, it does not show any status. I don’t know if it’s is even doing something or just keeping my document.

Helpful

Did a good job compressing. Free option does take an hour but it warns you regarding the time it will take and does give you upgrade option to compress within minutes.
