Too many ads

Can only compress 3 photos at a time and have to watch 3 ads then get asked to rate the app. Can’t even tell if it works yet…

Too many ads. Deleted app.

Omg the ads! Holy cow I can’t get anywhere with this. Immediately deleted after trying it briefly. Ads pop up after each small step.

Clean and easy!

Was looking for an app that would simply let me resize photos on my iPhone as I used to do on my android. Don’t throw $30 at that other app. Keep it simple, get what you need and get this app!
