### 3/5 — 구매취소

*2026-02-03*

무료기간에 필요가 없어서 어플 지우면 유료결제가 안되는 건가요?

**Developer response:** 소중한 의견 감사합니다. 무료 기간 동안 필요가 없어 삭제하셨다면 혼란스러우실 수 있습니다. 구독 및 결제 관련 부분이 더 명확하게 안내되지 못했다면 아쉽게 생각합니다. 앞으로 이용 과정이 더 이해하기 쉽고 투명하도록 계속 개선해 나가겠습니다.

감사합니다.

**Developer response:** 의견 남겨주셔서 감사합니다. 결제 취소 방법이 명확하지 않아 혼란을 드린 점 죄송합니다. 구독과 결제 관리가 더 이해하기 쉽도록 안내와 흐름을 개선하는 작업을 진행 중입니다. 사용자 경험을 계속해서 개선해 나가겠습니다.

감사합니다,

### 1/5 — If I could do no stars I would

*2025-01-19*

Honestly the worst.  If I could do no stars I would.   I signed up for a free trial and then purchased a subscription because the first time I used it, it was great.   Couldn’t use it a second time because it kept asking me to subscribe even though I already was.   Immediately cancelled.

**Developer response:** We’re really sorry to hear about your negative experience. We understand how frustrating that must be, especially after you already subscribed. Thanks to subscriptions, we’re able to support and improve the app, but we’re constantly working on enhancing the user experience. Your feedback is very valuable to us, and we’ll do our best to resolve the issue.

Best regards,  
The Development Team

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-11-23*

It only let me converted 1 photo and converted it to a different format than what I asked which is useless. Now it only prompts to buying the paid version for $25. Absolutely useless.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the app. We’ve passed your comments to our technical team to investigate the issue with file conversion. Your input helps us improve, and we’ll work on making the app more user-friendly.  

Best regards,  
The Development Team

### 1/5 — One Free Use

*2024-11-10, version 1.6*

Then stopped allowing me to do anything without paying. No thanks.

### 1/5 — Didn’t do the one thing it’s supposed to do

*2024-08-17*

I don’t think I’ve written a review for an app in 15 years but this one deserves it.

Couldn’t convert one photo even after I paid for the app.

Right away you’re bombarded with the $4.99 one time purchase.. no option to demo.. ok whatever sure I’ll pay it.

Once they have your money that’s it. Every time I try and convert HEIC to JPG the app just crashes once it’s done.

Tried to do it using files from a shared folder.. nope just gets stuck in a loop and never converts.

Was never able to convert one single photo with this app.

Absolute junk that I can’t imagine they even tested.

Want my $5 back. What a waste.

**Developer response:** We’re really sorry to hear about your experience and understand your frustration. We’ve passed your feedback along to our technical team to investigate the issues with the app crashing and the conversion process. We are working to resolve these problems as quickly as possible. We appreciate your patience and hope to improve your experience in the future.

### 1/5 — JPEG zu JPG funktioniert nicht

*2024-07-08*

*2024-07-07*

Impossible d’essayer la version gratuite, demande insistante de tester 3 jours la version payante !!!!

### 1/5 — Crashes as soon as you hit convert

*2024-06-08, version 1.2*

Totally pointless app. As soon as you hit convert it crashes. Shows the photos in history, but not actually saved on device

### 3/5 — Gratuit mais limiter dans le traitement en masse

*2024-06-04*

ça fonctionnera mais il faut se limiter à la sélection de 5 photos max pour éviter un plantage.Ça dépanne

**Developer response:** Merci pour votre retour. Nous comprenons que la fonctionnalité de traitement en masse peut être limitée et nous sommes désolés pour les désagréments. Nous avons transmis vos commentaires à notre équipe technique pour améliorer cette fonctionnalité et éviter les plantages. Nous apprécions votre patience et continuerons à travailler sur des améliorations.

### 4/5 — Best free converter I’ve found

*2024-05-29*

The app makes it easy to do batch conversions from HEIC to JPEG. They also several other options to convert to. Fast upload, fast conversion, fast download back to the phone. 
Only issue I have found is that it doesn’t do well when downloading/exporting the photos to another location, like Google Drive. Then they aren’t readable as a JPEG when uploading to somewhere that needs that format. 
Otherwise, excellent app.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your detailed feedback! We're glad to hear the app is working well for most of your needs. We appreciate you pointing out the issue with exporting to other locations like Google Drive. We’ve passed this to our technical team to investigate and resolve. Your input is valuable to us as we work on improving the app.

Best regards,

*2024-05-27*

Malheureusement quand je finis de sélectionner les photos et que je clic sur ajouter pour les convertir, l’application s’arrête sans prendre en compte ce que j’avais sélectionné

**Developer response:** Nous sommes désolés d'apprendre que l'application se ferme avant de convertir vos photos. Nous avons transmis ce problème à notre équipe technique afin qu'elle puisse l'examiner et le résoudre. Nous vous remercions de votre patience et faisons de notre mieux pour améliorer l'expérience.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2025-06-18, version 2.0.10*

Doesn’t work

### 1/5 — Payant

*2025-05-01*

Pas possible de convertir sans prendre l’abonnement.

**Developer response:** Merci pour votre retour. Nous comprenons votre frustration. Actuellement, certaines fonctionnalités nécessitent un abonnement, mais nous travaillons constamment à améliorer l'expérience utilisateur. N'hésitez pas à nous faire part de vos suggestions pour de futures améliorations. Merci encore pour votre avis.

### 1/5 — Misleading

*2025-04-10*

I have tried to use this “free”app repeatedly but as soon as I hit convert  it pops up with an add that tries to force me to subscribe for $8 a week. Wait out the timer for this “great deal” and it goes back to the start. Pick the photos I need converted all over again and no surprise, it won’t work unless I pay. No thanks

**Developer response:** Hi,
We’re really sorry to hear about your experience. The ads and subscription offer are part of the app's free version, and we understand how frustrating this can be. We are constantly working to improve the app, and your feedback helps us make it better. We hope you’ll consider giving it another try in the future.

Thank you for your feedback,
The Team

### 1/5 — Stole My Money

*2025-02-22, version 2.0.4*

I purchased the lifetime use of this app in august of 2024. It wants me to pay again to use the app. I have contacted Apple and this app 2 times now and no one has reached back out to me. Do not purchase this app.

### 1/5 — Nul

*2025-02-19*

C’est pas du tout gratuit ou alors ça me marche pas sur iPad

**Developer response:** Bonjour,
Nous sommes désolés d'apprendre que vous rencontrez des difficultés avec l'application. Bien que l'application soit gratuite à télécharger, certaines fonctionnalités nécessitent un abonnement. Nous comprenons que cela puisse être frustrant et nous travaillons constamment à améliorer l'expérience utilisateur. Nous espérons que vous nous donnerez une nouvelle chance à l'avenir.

Merci pour vos retours,
L'équipe

### 1/5 — Do not get, doesn’t convert

*2025-01-31, version 2.0*

I bought the subscription and it refused to convert, only looping back to the subscription page every time I tried to confirm the photos. Waste of money

### 1/5 — Kostenpflichtig?

*2025-01-26*

Noch bevor ich irgendetwas machen konnte kam gleich eine Meldung mit dem Hinweis :“Starten Sie, um die Image Converter App ohne Einschränkungen für nur €5.99/W.….“- darunter ein Button mit fortsetzen. 
Was kann ich fortsetzen? Den „Einkauf. Des Abos“ Oder die kostenlose Variante? Bevor ich in irgend eine Abo falle gerate, habe ich die App lieber gleich wieder gelöst..

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-01-25, version 2.0*

Doesn’t convert 
Just loops you unless you upgrade. I didn’t even get one photo converted to see if it works well. So annoying.

I was having trouble using photos I’d taken with my iPhone, or that had been sent from anyone else’s iPhone, for some things I needed to do on my work laptop.
