But you do pay a price by being forced to watch commercials before it compresses the video. Small price to pay for occasional usage, with good results. ### 2/5 — Pretty basic *2026-07-25, version 2.16* Can just change resolution and frame rate, no re-encoding with greater compression or anything fancy like that. ### 3/5 — App is good! I request two improvements *2026-07-25, version 2.16* App is good! I appreciate that it automatically copies metadata to the new compressed files. Wish it could convert codec, and allow you to choose an album for compressed videos to be saved to in the Photos app, too. That would make it 5 stars easily ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2026-07-23, version 2.16* The app works but way too many ads that waste time ### 4/5 — Very Impressed! *2026-07-08, version 2.16* All my videos were compressed within seconds. ONE PROBLEM… The ‘Realpro’ link on your page freezes every time I try to add it, nor will it close. I have to restart my iPad to get out of window. Very frustrating. ### 3/5 — Can’t filter by file size? *2026-07-05, version 2.16* The developers don’t leave any area to share feedback on features so I have to give it a three star. I paid for this app and it works really great, but it does not give you an ability to filter by file size so we can get the largest videos optimized. Seems like a pretty basic requirement for a great application like this not sure how it could be missed Please also include an area for your customer to share feedback. I am a paid customer and appreciate the app. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-07-01, version 2.16* Paid for pro doesn’t save your work ### 1/5 — Can’t even see all my videos *2026-06-25, version 2.16* The app doesn’t even show everything even if given permission ### 1/5 — Don’t bother doesn’t work *2026-06-18, version 2.16* This app doesn’t work and the companies it advertises with try to scare scam you into downloading their other parties cleaner app ### 1/5 — Bug *2026-06-17* After the first video compressed, the app bugs and it does not work anymore, does not load any video but stays forever on the video selection part… uninstall and reinstall didn’t change anything. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-06-16, version 2.16* The app doesn’t work, I’m free version when u try to upload it just get stuck on black page , even resetting and reinstalling. Don’t recommend ### 1/5 — It didn’t work for my upload on AOL . *2026-06-11, version 2.16* It said that my 10 minute video was too large to upload on a AOL. Also, there’s no option to delete your data once it’s uploaded so I guess they keep it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Achat caché d’un abonnement *2026-08-31* Pour télécharger les vidéos compressées l’application nous demande d’envoyer un SMS et par la suite nous confirme achat de quelque chose à cinq euros. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time *2026-08-30, version 2.16* Compressed my video and the file size didn’t change at all — still over 100 megabytes. The app just copied the original instead of actually re-encoding it. ### 1/5 — Too much advertisement *2026-08-29* In this offline app also too much ads even i clicked not interested in ads option. Multitimes same ads. Totally i hate advertisements and don’t want ads in offline apps. ### 1/5 — Sketchy ads that crash your phone *2026-08-14, version 2.16* Just installed this hoping to compress 1 video, and almost immediately a pop-up ad appeared telling me I had a virus and had to “clean” my phone. When I tried to close the ad, it redirected me to a scam app. What’s going on with the App store these days? Get it together, developers (and Apple)… this is embarrassing. ### 1/5 — Inaccurate help advice *2026-08-12, version 2.16* Unusable after denying full access to photo album. Help says amend selection in Settings but nothing to change there. ### 1/5 — Did not work *2026-07-24, version 2.16* An ad showed up over the entire screen, no way to exit out. Killed the app, happened again. Useless. ### 1/5 — terrible *2026-07-18, version 2.16* doesn't work -false claims ### 1/5 — Ghost ads *2026-07-13, version 2.16* App is broken. Ads will play before compression however you are unable to close them to make the app compress videos. The work around is, uninstalling the app and redownloading it. This is unacceptable ### 1/5 — Grrr *2026-07-09, version 2.16* Video not supported… deleted app ### 1/5 — Ad Will NOT Close *2026-07-02, version 2.16* I sat through the ad, and the “Close” button does not work, to get me back to the compression screen. Yes, I’ve closed the app, and re-tried, with the same result. Congratulations, I’ll NEVER use your product again, because you have failed to capture my interest in the first 10 seconds of using your app. You have made it too difficult. I’m simply going to use another app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Asking every day *2026-08-26, version 2.16* Love the app but every day for 5-10 times I got a question do I like app and rate us. I set like, rate, but then it asks again. The app test my love every day for many times. Still love it and hope to not swear again. ### 5/5 — Super app *2026-08-03* I truly love this app. Perfect for all my video editing works ### 5/5 — The only *2026-08-02, version 2.16* The ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2026-07-28, version 2.16* It does exactly what it says! ### 5/5 — Best free video compressor I have seen *2026-07-10, version 2.16* I freaking love this little app. It works every time I compress my videos. Never any problems.

You can also edit the resolution and framerate so if you care less about either one then you can lower it. Good for getting past discord file size limits. ### 5/5 — Best App on my phone! *2026-06-15, version 2.16* This is the best app on my phone. I use it every day to compress videos and make space. ### 5/5 — Great app. Compressed my video *2026-06-08, version 2.16* It compressed my video to a great size ### 5/5 — Nice *2026-06-03, version 2.16* Peak as hell so I can flim forever --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
