### 5/5 — the best to capture quick videos

*2026-08-19, version 2.0.9*

this is so useful. i’m so glad i stuck around for the devs to make it better (aka have an indicator for when the video is saving). 

also the people who refuse to pay for the features confuse me. get a job?

### 1/5 — used to be amazing, now it’s not.

*2026-06-29, version 2.0.8*

i first found this app through an awesome friend and i was so happy because it did exactly what i wanted to. most “low res” converters add jpeg artifacts or something that isn’t what i want. this app was the type of thing i was looking for. but after updating it, you can’t even do the 120p option without paying. the entire point of the app is to make your pictures lower quality and you can’t even use the lowest PRESET. i don’t care about custom resolutions, the lowest preset is now paywalled and it just makes this all feel like a slap in the face to people who like this aesthetic.

### 2/5 — Can’t buy pro

*2026-06-15, version 2.0.8*

Please make your buy pro button bigger. I can’t tap on it because of these stupid adds

### 1/5 — App won’t open

*2026-05-29, version 2.0.8*

Since the latest update the app won’t even open

### 1/5 — DO NOT INSTALL

*2026-05-26, version 2.0.8*

DO NOT INSTALL

### 1/5 — New version. Worst! Don’t Buy

*2026-05-08, version 2.0.8*

If it doesn’t break, don’t fix it! 

It used to be much easier with better simple interface with minimal processing. Now it’s fancy with smaller icon. It doesn’t function. When I video. I cannot leave it alone and stand by. I have to continuously touch it. Then it needs to process. I have to wait. Old app it saves quickly. Sucks sucks! So disappointed! 1 star now.

### 3/5 — Having to wait for the video to convert is a deal breaker.

*2026-04-26, version 2.0.8*

I finally updated the app and now it is unusable. It used to be instant. You record your low quality video and close the app. Done. 

Now, you have to keep the app open and wait for it to covert/compress the video. If you take a 5 minute video at 480p, you’ll be waiting MINUTES for it to finish. Terrible.

### 3/5 — apps keeps crashing

*2026-04-25, version 2.0.8*

The app itself was pretty good like 3-4 months ago but now it keeps crashing on start up & I heard u have to pay now just to get certain resolutions 😭

### 1/5 — Extremely slow when record video

*2026-04-11, version 2.0.8*

Extremely slow when record video. For example to save 1min of 120p video, after pressing Stop you need to wait another minute for video to be saved.

### 3/5 — Проблема со входом

*2026-04-09, version 2.0.8*

Во время открывания приложение оно закрывается. Невозможно войти, IOS 26.4
