New revision has too many hoops to jump through to just take a quick pic. And,…camera tool crashes. I’m out. ### 4/5 — I USE THIS APP EVERY DAY *2023-04-15* I use this app every day at work. The great thing is that you can take photographs, and they automatically used to say a third of the space or whatever size you choose. What I use it for is for photographing vehicle images that I post online from my work. When the iPhone captures the image it’s way too large for the storage site I use to store the images to use for later use. Being able to automatically have it shrunk to a smaller size saves me the hassle of having to cut down the image individually and it saves space on my phone when I delete the larger images that I don’t need. I’ve been using this app for probably 9 or 10 years. The biggest problem is that recently. I can no longer take photographs inside the app. I can use it to shrink the images later, which I have to do one by one and I still do because it’s so necessary for me. so, it ends up taking me two or three times longer than it needs to because this app needs an update. I’ve tried three or four similar sounding apps and none of them work as good as this one does and especially as good as it did. Please take some time to update this app so it can be used like it used to be used. I wouldn’t even mind if you charge an upgrade to get the new app or version. I think people that use this app would be happy to pay a few more dollars or more because it’s that helpful. Thank you in advance, and please let us know if you can work on this. I rated the app 4 stars only because of this inconvenience with the recent functionality, but it’s been a five star app for many years for me! ### 2/5 — Crashes constantly *2021-10-15* Does the job but freezes and crashes every time. Deleting. Wouldn’t recommend. Poor form by developer. ### 3/5 — Pantalla congelada *2020-02-18, version 1.5.3* Es una gran aplicación pero la pantalla se me congela ### 3/5 — Worked great before *2019-11-05* But now gets stuck when I try to save a photo. If no fix will stop using ### 2/5 — iPhone X bye bye *2018-07-02, version 1.5.3* Unfortunately crashes with iPhone X and UI is not for iPhone X ### 4/5 — All right!!! but... *2017-07-07* Thank you! Ideal app, but PLEASE add multiple select photos to resize. Thats all! Yoa are the best of the best :-) Все классно друзья, но не хватает мульвыбора фотографий. В остальном лучшая прога. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2017-01-23* I paid for the video resized extra and I still couldn't send the shortest clip by email ### 1/5 — "Free" *2017-01-08* The app says its free, but you have to pay to resize videos. tf! dont use this app. ### 1/5 — Sad *2016-12-14, version 1.5.3* Kind of sad that this app is for resizing yet you can't even use it without paying ### 4/5 — Good *2016-09-16* Video ads popping up in the middle of working with a picture are very annoying but app gets the job done. ### 1/5 — Paid for upgrade and didn't work *2016-08-11, version 1.5.2* They got the money but I didn't get the upgrade. $2.99 down the toilet. ### 1/5 — None *2016-04-24* I was trying to resize pictures and it took forever to find how to do it. It is in SETTINGS for no apparent reason. There is Zero tutorial so everything has to be found on your own. There is no explanation to any of the features that the app has. The resizing of the pictures Small Medium and Large makes them very blurry and hard to see. ### 1/5 — MAKES YOU PAY *2016-02-28, version 1.5.1* This app won't do anything until you pay. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Rip off *2022-12-08* Crappy, it doesn’t work the way they say it would… Want my money back do not buy, do not buy, do not buy crappy, crappy, crappy, crappy, crappy app ### 1/5 — Abandonware, hasn’t worked in years since iOS 9 *2020-07-23* Shame because it was nice when it used to work ### 1/5 — Inutile *2020-07-09, version 1.5.3* Ne sert à rien ### 1/5 — software is not full functional, no support at all *2019-08-11, version 1.5.3* I purchased its full function, but afterwards I found out it never worked from recalling it in the camera roll. My view it has a functional bug! So I contacted the Developer via Emails twice asking for help & support. Never get an answer! Desperate! ### 1/5 — Inutile en version gratuite *2018-12-02, version 1.5.3* Sitôt installée aussitôt supprimée Pour s’en servir l appli demande d acheter des extras ### 1/5 — Blurry *2018-04-02* Does exactly what it says GREAT BUT IMAGE GOES BLURRY I needed to resize something so that I could post the full image on Instagram and it made the whole photo blurry Verry disappointing ### 1/5 — Deleted *2017-08-08* Useless app without paying for full version, deleted as quickly as downloaded. ### 1/5 — Unfortunately not lossless *2017-05-22* Great app in theory but image quality was also greatly reduced and the water mark defeats the purpose. Deleted it. I cannot use the photos on my website in this condition ### 1/5 — Scam. *2017-04-22, version 1.5.3* Not even able to use without fees of $2.79, one to remove watermark and one to compress video but they don't tell you this anywhere unless you download and actually compress a video. ### 1/5 — DONT FALL INTO THIS TRAP! *2017-04-16* This app may seem free but it does absolutely nothing until you have to pay at least 5$ to get the functions you need. Don't buy it! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Will you updated for newly version *2022-11-20, version 1.5.3* It’s doesn’t work for iOS 15-16, will you updated for newly version? ### 5/5 — I love it *2022-06-21, version 1.5.3* I have been using this app for some time now and I couldn’t be happier with the results I get. Simple to use. ### 5/5 — Good app *2019-01-09, version 1.5.3* It’s easy and friendly to use. ### 5/5 — Just what we need *2016-08-31* Resize and send videos and photos quickly to iMessage, email etc. from phone or tablet Easy to use. Great customer service with prompt response. ### 5/5 — Excellent APP and customer service *2016-08-29* Have used Minima as my go to size reducer for some time. It's the best I've found. The new video feature works perfectly. They also provide excellent customer service when contacted. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Great app *2016-06-08* Highly recommended. Very easy to use. All I've been wanting to do is easily send videos over iMessage and this does the trick. Clean design too. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2015-09-03* Minima was just the photo resizer I was looking for...the fact that it also resizes videos saves a ton of space. Only suggestion is since the app cache will accumulate over time and gradually take up more storage space ...for now I just delete and reinstall app and the problem is fixed but if there's anyway to fix this permanently that would be awesome. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Jam breaker *2015-08-24* On several occasions i find myself needing to resize so i can move on. This little app has helped me stay in a flow by getting me resized, within seconds. Tim ### 5/5 — Macht was es soll und das umsonst ... Top *2013-11-20, version 1.1.2* Ausprobieren Entweder es gefällt oder nicht Bei gratis Apps spielt es keine rolle 😉 ### 5/5 — First *2013-08-01* I was scared bc I was the first to try the with no actual reviews, but it's perfect! Does all the work for you! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
