Thanks! Other than that it’s great for pictures.! ### 4/5 — LIFE SAVER! *2018-08-07, version 1.0.5* There were so many group photos I wanted to post but couldn’t until I found this app. Now no one is left out and everyone makes it in the dimensions. ### 3/5 — Longer videos *2018-07-04, version 1.0.5* We need do be able to wait longer videos. With IGTV it's important. ### 2/5 — Video resize buggy AF *2018-05-15, version 1.0.5* Photo resize works fine, but not a single video has been resized correctly. Instead, it saves a blank video of equal length, or your intended video shifted inexplicably to one side. This persists upon restarting the app and iphone. ### 3/5 — Volume *2018-04-07, version 1.0.5* What happened to volume sound on playback? I’ve been using app fine and today you can’t hear when you load videos. I uninstalled and reinstalled app...I still can’t hear sound. ### 2/5 — Video glitches, support link broken...?? *2018-02-11, version 1.0.4* Trying to get my landscape vids to play in story and every time I upload video to the app, there’s a strange overlap of the video on top of a still of the video. What’s up? Bought the app For that and it’s not delivering. #disappointed ### 3/5 — Seems good *2018-02-02, version 1.0.4* I haven’t had the opportunity to fully use the app before being asked to rate it, so I can’t provide a full review. However, so far I enjoy the fun edits and background colors I can apply to a video for IG stories. ### 2/5 — Works for photos not video *2018-01-31, version 1.0.4* Works for photos vary easy but video just ends up crashing the app, videos basically look like a picture in picture ### 4/5 — Great but freezes a lot *2018-01-30, version 1.0.4* An amazing app when working fully functional, tends to freeze often especially after purchase. ### 5/5 — Magnificent program 👍 *2018-01-26, version 1.0.4* Remarkable program. I use every day, all modes work as it is necessary. I am happy — I recommend to all ;) **Developer response:** Hi Velit Andrey! Thanks a lot for the review! ### 5/5 — Really useful *2018-01-26, version 1.0.4* This app is great for Instagram users that want to upload photos (or even videos!) to stories and want to resize the media. **Developer response:** Thanks, Royschaffer! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Unable to use after purchasing due to features *2019-01-02, version 1.0.5* You should remove the odd doubling effect, or allow people to turn it on and off at least. ### 1/5 — Does not work I would like a refund *2018-08-29, version 1.0.5* This app does not cut my videos like it shows, it puts two different video boxes onto the screen overlapping each other and then has the background behind them. I just purchased this and I would like a refund please. ### 1/5 — Paid for the ability not to customize my background *2018-08-16, version 1.0.5* Honestly, I’m incredibly disappointed that the ability to customize the background for video was advertised but is not available in this app. If at possible, I’d like my 2.99 back because that is unacceptable. Deleted the app. **Developer response:** Please contact support@ultralabapps.com so we could solve your problem. ### 1/5 — Useless for my needs *2018-07-04, version 1.0.5* When I went to check out what this app does, I accidentally bought it. And it doesn’t even do what I was needing, which is to resize & crop for an Instagram story. It only lets you NOT crop a photo by adding a background. 🤦🏼‍♀️ ### 1/5 — It doesn’t cut and save your videos *2018-05-09, version 1.0.5* I thought I could send a 1 min video and it would cut it for me in 15 second segments. It just allows you to trim videos. I can do that on my phone! Not sure if there are other special features but it did not help with what I was looking for sadly!!! ### 1/5 — I FEEL ROBBED *2018-03-12, version 1.0.5* I need to use this app for promotional purposes to post videos to Instagram stories. This app keeps crashing when I’m about to save the video. IT NEVER SAVES to my camera roll. It’s keeps loading and loading and loading and nothing ever happens ! PLS FIX ! Or REFUND OR SOMETHING! Thanks ### 1/5 — Does not work *2018-03-03, version 1.0.5* I paid for the app in good faith that it would work. I loaded a video to post into my stories, it wasn’t even a minute long more like 17secs and I’m waiting forever the circle just keeps spinning. Would like a refund. ### 1/5 — Very disappointed *2018-02-20, version 1.0.5* Can’t seem to resize video by choice. It just locks the video to a grid, often making it smaller than necessary. I got this to deal with the iPhone X video stretching problem... and now I have giant black bars. Why can’t an app called ReSize actually allow me to resize?? ### 1/5 — Wish I could give it 0 stars *2018-02-14, version 1.0.4* I cannot believe I spent $3 on an app that literally does nothing. Every time I try to do anything with it it will not save. This is the most worthless app I’ve ever purchased. How do I get my money back??? ### 1/5 — Won’t let me save... *2018-01-06, version 1.0.3* Just purchased this app and after trying it for the first time with a short video, it just continues to show a loading animated icon indicating something is saving but nothing ever saves. The icon just keeps spinning. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 5 Stars *2019-08-19, version 1.0.5* Go to app! Perfect FYI- other version (paid) crashes ### 5/5 — Easy to Use! *2019-07-02, version 1.0.5* I love this app. It does the job beautifully and is super easy to use. ### 5/5 — So Easy & Convenient *2019-02-20, version 1.0.5* This app is awesome. It’s quick, easy, and simple. It does exactly what you want it to do. ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2018-06-14, version 1.0.5* This app makes resizing photos easy and pretty! ### 5/5 — Works great for me! *2018-05-29, version 1.0.5* Love the app. Does exactly what I need it too! ### 5/5 — This does the thing *2018-05-16, version 1.0.5* This does the thing that it says it does. I can now post 16:9 to my story horizontally! ### 5/5 — Great app *2018-04-22, version 1.0.5* Still use even though Instagram updated cropping ### 5/5 — I like this app pretty good stuff man *2018-02-20, version 1.0.3* does what I need it to do pretty good stuff man ### 5/5 — Does the job well! *2018-02-02, version 1.0.4* Love the custom color BGs and blur effect so my videos can be horizontal on IG stories. ### 5/5 — Useful app *2018-01-27, version 1.0.4* It's very useful app to keep original size of your photos and videos without cropping them. The app has simple and easy to use interface. You can now post to instagram stories your favorite videos without having a problem with resizing. **Developer response:** Hi klonndike!
