It was previously a great tool. I tried deleting it from my iPhone and then re-downloading again. No luck. I hope it gets fixed. ### 2/5 — How shrink old photos only big in iCloud? *2023-06-21, version 1.2.1* App has been great for years, but very old photos eventually reside as large files only in iCloud and PhotoShrinker shows zero file size. I know if you start to edit a photo it transfers to phone memory so it can then be shrunk, but this is time consuming. Question – what is a faster workaround? ### 4/5 — Good *2019-05-03, version 1.2.1* The app does a good job but the photos are put back into the camera roll in a different order. I have to shrink different groups of photos one at a time to keep the groups together. ### 2/5 — It ok *2018-10-16, version 1.2.1* The app is a good idea but it freezes and shuts down if I try to shrink more than 100 images. ### 4/5 — 4 Stars for the really good result, -1 for app crash *2018-08-06, version 1.2.1* Tried multiple photo compressors, the only one to auto produce smallest size image but appeal in iphone screen (which is exactly the point) Would like to see 2 fixes - App crash when compressing a large amount of photo (e.g. select all in camera roll), leaving double photos in the camera app and very difficult to clean up - add a slide to select a range of photo just like in the photo app thank you ### 3/5 — Good app *2017-11-11, version 1.2.1* Pros: lets you shrink photos, and delete the original full size photos afterward. Cons: only lets you shrink 50 at a time ### 1/5 — 一直閃退！ *2017-10-09, version 1.2.1* 購買後反而一直閃退！根本無法使用！ 可以退錢嗎！！真的很生氣！ ### 3/5 — 圧縮 *2017-10-07* よくわからん〜 枚数制限あり ### 2/5 — Did work *2017-09-22, version 1.2.1* It worked perfectly...5 stars...until the last update. Now it crashes sometimes and leaves me with duplicates I have to sort out. About to try something else as this is getting very frustrating. ### 4/5 — Very useful tool *2017-09-19, version 1.2.1* I like how you're able to shrink photos using this app, clearing up space without having delete too many photos. I do wish there was a way to view the image up close before shrinking, or view them as an album I created so I can be sure I am shrinking the desired set together. I am nervous about what the previous reviewer said--about having to share somewhere in order to shrink. I hope it doesn't happen each time from now on! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — BAD APP *2024-10-18, version 1.2.1* This app is not working. Every time I try to run it, the system shuts it down. Please fix this issue urgently. I regret buying it. ### 1/5 — App Needs Update. *2024-01-10, version 1.2.1* I’m a longtime (Pro) user. Within the last year, the app has been crashing consistently. I suspect it has something to do with Apple file permissions. The last update to this app was several years ago. In its current state, I would not recommend this app until it’s fixed. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-06-17, version 1.2.1* It worked for a few photos but then stopped working, says photos are shrunk when they’re not. Tried to delete and download again, still doesn’t work. Waste of money. ### 1/5 — Unable to contact developer *2021-02-26, version 1.2.1* App hijacked and shrank all of my photos. App now crashes when opened. ### 1/5 — Apps Crash *2020-11-11, version 1.2.1* Please update to compatible with latest iOS 14.2 ### 1/5 — 落ちる *2018-05-06* iPhone7、os11.3.1で使用。自分のデバイスのせいかわからないが、圧縮を開始しようとするとアプリが落ち、まだ一度も使えていない。 ### 1/5 — Won’t let me shrink certain pictures. *2018-02-23, version 1.2.1* Requesting a refund. I had a few specific photos I needed to compress, and thought that perhaps a paid app would work (since free apps were having issues). Paid three bucks. This one allowed me to compress even fewer than any of the others. A total ripoff. Don’t buy. ### 1/5 — Worst app of all time *2017-12-08, version 1.2.1* The app no longer does what it's suppose to. It's takes forever and then it crashes after the update ### 1/5 — Superb ! But crash issue not fixed *2017-11-23, version 1.2.1* A potential phone saver for the 16 GB iphone owners.. But the recent version is crashing when we click on shrink photos. ### 1/5 — No hace lo que dice *2017-10-13, version 1.2.1* Dice que te reduce el peso de las fotos pero no especifica que solo lo hace con algunas ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great and simple app *2023-11-02, version 1.2.1* Please could you release an update for latest iOS version ? I have been using this wonderful best app for 3 years and it’s stopped working after my latest iOS update ### 5/5 — Need to update *2020-10-17, version 1.2.1* Does not work with the last Apple IOS upgrade ### 5/5 — Good *2018-06-05, version 1.1* Good ### 5/5 — Quick simple free!! *2018-01-14, version 1.2.1* Love this app while shrinking photos to low mb and uploading to cloud. ### 5/5 — Its very useful *2018-01-10, version 1.1* I like it and i use it every day ### 5/5 — Does the job *2017-09-30, version 1.1* Quick and easy Only problem is too many notifications ### 5/5 — Epic *2017-09-23, version 1.2.1* Its confusing how good it is. Why dont they make it that small anyway? Qmazing. Thanks to you i can continue vlogging ### 5/5 — 良いです *2017-09-22* 手軽に且つ確実に圧縮出来て良いです😊 ### 5/5 — Awasome *2017-09-22, version 1.1* Amazing app that works perfect! ### 5/5 — いいです *2017-09-19* disk領域開けるのに、最適です。画質劣化もほぼ気にならないレベルです。 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
