Just wish I could compress more photos in a single go. Thanks so much Kyle! 😊 ### 4/5 — Pocture *2026-06-28, version 1.14* Good ### 4/5 — Review *2026-06-19, version 1.14* Great app ### 4/5 — Misleading title *2026-04-20* This does not compress videos. It links you to a separate app which does that. We’ll see how well the photo compression works… ### 5/5 — Compress My Photos *2026-02-02, version 1.14* This app quickly and easily reduced the file sizes of my photos allowing me to send them by email! ### 4/5 — Handy! *2026-01-29, version 1.14* Useful tool for my work. Easy to use. ### 5/5 — This a great app *2025-11-20, version 1.14* This app helped me with deleting a lot of storage great app ### 5/5 — Pics *2025-11-16* Best ### 5/5 — Great *2025-11-16* Great!! Works fantastic I’ve used it for all my work photos to compress for uploading ### 5/5 — Great tool! *2025-11-06* Loved the fast and easy service for compressing pics ### 3/5 — Gotta know. *2025-11-02, version 1.14* Can’t I use without subscribing to premium? ### 5/5 — Good *2025-11-02* Nice ### 5/5 — Review *2025-11-01, version 1.14* Nice ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Mark *2026-05-25, version 1.14* List the photo ### 1/5 — Not free as implied *2026-05-12, version 1.14* Can’t use the app without a fee but the decription implies use for free. Lame and misleading. ### 1/5 — Subscription-based *2026-04-05, version 1.14* There is no reason this should be a $12 a month subscription service. ### 1/5 — This some bs…. *2026-01-12, version 1.14* First off after the trial this developer hit my acct about every single hour for days because I lock my card and forgot to cancel. Why are y’all charging $40 for a video compressor that can’t even compress photos as well? “ help keep it free with a review and ads”??? Where’s the free part? This app should be part of the $40 I paid for the other one accidentally! Or you should offer something more for that ridiculous price! I’m stating facts and ain’t even too mad I got hustled… I know you gotta eat, but damn man there’s free apps that can compress more than one thing… it’s my fault for not having the time to use the trial but geez! Keep ya hustle up man I hope they’re worth the money when I finally sit down and use them tonight! ### 1/5 — Ever heard of transparency? *2025-12-28* Why not just be up front and say it’s a pay service..oh because you want my data.. 1 star ### 1/5 — Deletes photos. Terrible app *2025-11-20, version 1.14* It resizes the photos then asks if you want to delete originals but doesn’t keep the resized image. Terrible app. ### 1/5 — Insanely annoying to use *2025-10-21, version 1.14* Pop-ups and asking you to get the free trial. Just let me resize the photo and give me one button to buy you a coffee or something! It works, I did the free trial, and am cancelling right away. ### 1/5 — In app purchase required *2025-10-18* Three day free trial. Didnt test. ### 1/5 — App is not free *2025-10-14, version 1.14* Description leads user to believe it is useable but it is for only 3 days and requires a credit card. It is $2.99 per week after that. Not worth your time. ### 1/5 — Not used *2025-10-02, version 1.14* Not used it yet so can’t review ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Outstanding *2026-06-18, version 1.14* Love it ### 5/5 — Great tool *2026-06-08* Great tool and easy to use.

Simple, quick and reliable!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-02-24* Just used it to compress a couple pics for a website. Worked great. ### 5/5 — So far so good *2026-02-23, version 1.14* ARTARTF ### 5/5 — Handy *2026-02-02* Very handy app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
