I was not aware or could not remember sighing up to be charged when app was used. Thought it would have been a one time payment which I usually go for. Hard to track with not enough info on PayPal transaction, just a simple mention of Video Compress would have done it. Can’t find where to remove auto payments on App either. Cancelled App now. Be aware. ### 1/5 — Ads Don’t clear *2026-07-26, version 2.4.1* Compression works just fine but requires to watch an ad banner to be able to download and after you watch it it just doesn’t clear and there’s no way to close it out without clearing the app (swiping up) and you lose your compressed video and start again with the same problem. ### 5/5 — Rating *2026-07-25, version 2.4.1* Does exactly what it’s supposed to do👍👍 ### 5/5 — Works well *2026-07-22, version 2.4.1* Just downloaded and works really well! ### 1/5 — Ads are in the way? *2026-07-21, version 2.4.1* Conveniently, there’s an ad right where you press “compress” and I’ve pressed on it six or seven times and I can’t even use the app for what it’s marketed for. A bunch of pop-ups. Am I supposed to press on this ad for like 10 times or something??????? ### 3/5 — Was good, now unusable *2026-07-19, version 2.4.1* I love this app and i've used it for years. However in a recent update, the compress button is blocked by advertising, making it unable to start the compressing operation. I'd love to reinstall and improve rating when this issue is resolved. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-07-18, version 2.4.1* Genuinely love this, its fast easy and honestly the small little features that make it still look high graphic make it even better!! Im glad I found this otherwise I’d be having hundreds of GB hogging my storage XD ### 5/5 — Rating for compressor *2026-07-18, version 2.4.1* Great compressor for videos ## Frequently asked questions about Video Compress ### What does this app do?
