I can’t tap on it because of these stupid adds ### 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 😭 ### 3/5 — Проблема со входом *2026-04-09, version 2.0.8* Во время открывания приложение оно закрывается. Невозможно войти, IOS 26.4 ### 2/5 — Terrible Update *2026-03-25, version 2.0.6* Very useful app, poor recent update. Rotate does not function as it should. Option to restore purchases not working as it should. Please fix this. ### 4/5 — A weird bug *2026-01-02, version 1.1.4* Why does the audio keep glitching it goes like 2 times faster then usual and when theres no more audio it’s just dead silent. Please fix this I want to have normal videos with low quality ### 2/5 — Please fix *2025-11-09, version 1.1.4* Under iOS 26 stopped working . Have a paid version, please fix and make update of the app available. Just a black blank screen ### 1/5 — delete ts *2025-11-01, version 1.1.4* can’t even get into the app because the ads apparently go on forever and can’t be canceled out ### 2/5 — Top of the line *2025-10-13, version 1.1.4* Like an idiot I updated to the latest version (Oct 2025) and now there are long ads I literally can't skip. Great move devs. I'm deleting it. Prefer to transfer a photo to my computer to resize and back to the phone.. it's faster ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2025-09-27, version 1.1.4* I did not even get to use the app features, every time I press a button an ad just pops up so I just deleted it 🙂 ### 3/5 — vídeos *2025-08-28, version 1.1.4* queria conseguir abaixar a qualidade de vídeos ### 1/5 — Not very good *2025-08-15, version 1.1.4* Too many ads. Doesn’t let work. ### 4/5 — Good *2025-07-21, version 1.1.4* Worth the price for the upgrade. Could use a .5 zoom mode. ### 1/5 — Trash- doesn’t save to Camera Roll, loud video ads *2025-06-13, version 1.1.4* Doesn’t save to camera roll, doesn’t take pics, was using it in car & loud video ad about “WANT TO HOOK UP WITH HOT LATINAS?” Blasted. How INAPPROPRIATE. Deleted. Try ‘LowCamera’ instead -100% free, no tricks. ### 1/5 — E *2025-05-18, version 1.1.4* TOO MANY ADS AND HOW DO I EVEN MAKE IT LOWER QUALITY DONT TRY THIS🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀 ### 1/5 — Way too much ads *2025-02-10, version 1.1.4* I literally can’t do anything on the app every second there’s an add. When I downloaded the app it gave me an ad while getting on the app. ### 2/5 — Audio *2025-02-03, version 1.1.4* I don’t know is this is for only me but the audio is absolutely messed up and sounds horrible. ### 1/5 — Inappropriate *2025-01-19, version 1.1.4* I don’t feel like this app should be allowed in the store. I have no problem with the free version being ad-funded. But first time I open it, the ad is one of those that holds your phone captive and tells you your phone is infected. You can’t close the ad, you either have to click through to the ad vendor or you have to kill the app and go back in. Same happened to me on the second opening. I’m out. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — ads ads *2026-03-27, version 2.0.6* this app is just adds for every tap you do ### 1/5 — not everything needs to be a paid subscription *2026-03-24, version 2.0.6* Were the ads not good enough for you?? I felt like I was already being generous watching ads for something you could do online for free. The new update requires you to pay a premium fee to change the resolution to their presets (not even a custom resolution option btw) after 2 years of letting you do it for free. Putting a paywall in this app was the stupidest thing you could do ### 1/5 — New update sucks *2026-03-22, version 2.0.6* Why would this app need a pro to lower the damn resolution app deleted ### 1/5 — greedy *2026-03-13, version 2.0.0* I’ve used this app for 2 years and this app used to be free and all that would happen is an ad would play everytime you open the app. Now you have to pay for the two lowest qualities and have to watch an ad everytime you want a new photo and you can’t use as many photos as you like anymore only “pro” users get to select as many photos as they want ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work anymore *2025-11-02, version 1.1.4* Unskippable ads that you can’t get past ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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? ### 5/5 — fire *2025-04-18, version 1.1.4* THIS APP IS AMAZING AND IT ACTUALLY LOOKS LOW QUALITY VERY 2000s ### 5/5 — . *2024-11-29, version 1.1.4* Amazinggggg ### 5/5 — Just what I needed ⭐️ *2024-02-14, version 1.1.1* I needed to record low quality videos in order to save space. Feature request: Allow us to flip camera from back to front and vice versa while recording. ### 5/5 — Just what I needed ⭐️ *2023-04-23* I needed to record low quality videos in order to save space. Feature request: Allow us to flip camera from back to front and vice versa while recording. ### 5/5 — Android *2023-02-09, version 1.0.9* Android ahh quality ### 5/5 — Simply working! *2023-01-26* Like the app. ### 5/5 — Works so great!!! *2022-09-15, version 1.0.9* I highly recommend it because you don’t always need HD quality for some videos. it also helps when you’re sharing it on group messaging apps and there is a file size limit. ### 5/5 — Save your memory! *2022-08-16, version 1.0.9* This app will help you to record low resolution ### 5/5 — Not bad! *2022-08-08, version 1.0.9* I love what it looks likely what I’m looking for! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
