It’s great. ### 2/5 — Poor compressoon *2026-05-27, version 3.0.1* Inaccurate estimated file sizes for large videos ### 4/5 — Kein Sortieren nach Videogröße *2026-05-15, version 3.0.1* Eine Sortierung nach Dateigröße wäre wünschenswert, um große Dateien zu finden. aktuell sieht man im Raster nirgends die Größe; andere Komprimierungs-Apps schaffen das auch. ### 5/5 — Video Compress *2026-03-11, version 3.0.1* Easy, fast, compression videos to send emails!! ### 5/5 — Best app for compress videos *2026-02-13* 🤟🏻 ### 1/5 — Not happy *2026-01-27, version 2.4* Horrible….period ### 5/5 — Недоработано *2026-01-26* По сравнению с Photo Compress хуже, не сохраняет дату и геолокацию, нет перевода на русский Надеюсь доработаете ### 5/5 — Videos komprimieren mit super Qualität und das Kostenlos *2026-01-12* Ich benutze diese App hauptsächlich um aufgezeichnete Bildschirm Videos zu komprimieren. Die aufgenommenen Bildschirm Videos sind von der Datenmenge sehr hoch, diese App lässt auswählen, in welcher Qualität man das Video komprimieren möchte. Ich bin froh diese App gefunden zu haben, da sie für ein kostenloses benutzen. Sehr nutzerfreundlich ausgelegt ist. Derzeit muss man am Ende eines komprimierten Videos eine kleine Bewerbung anschauen, die maximal 30 Sekunden lang dauert. Das ist für den kostenfreien Zugang eine sehr annehmbare Option. Vielen Dank an die Entwickler. ### 5/5 — Best & Fastest No Frills Converter *2026-01-02, version 2.4* This app is by far the fastest and easy to use video converter. It does the job and does it well and does it incredibly fast too. The only thing I’d love as a feature is to have it in the share sheet so I can send a video straight to the app from the Photo app. ### 5/5 — Cerita oatang tadi *2025-12-21, version 2.4* A ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 課金 *2026-08-27* アプリを入れて4円課金で短い動画を圧縮したら、同月クレジットカードでサブスク6000円の請求まで一緒に来て、どの操作でそんなことになってしまったのか… **Developer response:** レビューをお寄せいただきありがとうございます。 ご記載の6,000円のサブスクリプション請求は、このアプリによるものではありません。 現在、このアプリで日本向けに提供しているサブスクリプションは、月額1,000円のプラン1つのみです。6,000円のサブスクリプションや、それ以外の価格のサブスクリプションはこのアプリにはありません。また、サブスクリプションへの加入は完全に任意で、多くの方は無料機能だけでもご利用いただけます。 サブスクリプションの価格はアプリ内にも明確に表示されています。さらに重要なのは、購入を確定する前にApple自身が表示するiOSの購入確認画面でも、実際に請求される価格が表示されることです。このAppleの購入確認画面はアプリの開発者が自由に作成しているものではなく、App Storeに登録されている商品と価格の情報に基づいてiOSが表示します。そのため、開発者がこのAppleの確認画面上で、登録されている価格とは異なる任意の金額に変更して請求することはできません。 また、iOSアプリが利用者のクレジットカードに直接請求することはできず、アプリ側からクレジットカード情報を見ることもできません。App Storeでの購入やサブスクリプションの管理と請求はAppleによって行われます。 お手数ですが、Appleアカウントの「サブスクリプション」と「購入履歴」を一度ご確認ください。そこでは、現在契約しているサブスクリプション、それぞれの料金、そしてどのアプリのサブスクリプションなのかを確認できます。このアプリについては、月額1,000円のサブスクリプション以外はありません。 6,000円の請求についても、Appleの購入履歴やサブスクリプション一覧をご確認いただければ、実際にどの購入またはアプリによるものなのか確認できると思います。🙂 ### 1/5 — Waste of cost *2026-08-03* In this aap u will see prime membership ads every second. **Developer response:** Thank you very much for your review and feedback! Advertising is necessary to support the continued development and regular updates of the app, as everyone deserves to be paid for their work—including app developers. If the ads are distracting, you can subscribe to the ad-free Premium version for a small fee. Thank you for your understanding! :-) ### 1/5 — Free. 3 min *2026-06-19, version 3.0.1* No la recomiendo. A menos que la quieras comprar ### 1/5 — This app is atrocious *2026-06-17, version 3.0.1* Nothing has stolen my damn time more than the free version of this app I am immensely disappointed and unhappy! ### 1/5 — Refuses to even acknowledge u selected photo *2026-05-29, version 3.0.1* Sometimes it can refuse to pick any photo u have in ur album meaning no acknowledgement that u chose a photo. Also this used to be a buy app now it’s not not even a second app for subscribers ### 1/5 — App payante *2026-05-03, version 3.0.1* Apple dit que cette app est gratuite, mais c’est faux. Seul la compression des petits ficher est gratuit ce qui est complètement inutile ### 1/5 — Not helpful at all *2026-04-15, version 3.0.1* Hardly compressed the file, even though I ran it through the App many times (saving in the incrementally smaller file sizes). I was still unable to send the file. A refund of the month subscription would be great, as it was absolutely useless. ### 1/5 — De pago *2026-03-21, version 3.0.1* Anuncios por todas partes y funcionalidad muy limitada (solo se pueden editar videos de menos de 3 minutos, por ejemplo). Si quieres quitar las limitaciones, toca pagar 7€... AL MES. Desinstalada. ### 1/5 — Cobra para baixar além de 3 minutos e não fala o tamanho original do arquivos *2026-02-17* Inadmissível, vc só sabe o tamanho do arquivo quando seleciona ele ### 1/5 — Cobrança indevida *2026-01-31* Horrível o App ficar emitindo cobrança se você não optou por assinatura paga ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works well *2026-07-28, version 3.0.1* Works well ### 5/5 — It works well - but offline bug *2026-06-04* I tested the free version and liked it a lot (Apple compulsively saves video in 4K, but to send as sms or instagram? Don’t need 4K ) so I purchased the paid version. It works very well! However … the app seems to validate your free/app status every time (you open it or un-dormant it) and if you are offline (in flight etc) you get this “…. Hey, buy the paid adfree version!…” box. Sometimes it goes away after few seconds, sometimes it doesn’t. So if you use the paid version, you don’t get a better new pro- app, they simply check online what status you have and modify the UI. Clearly works for them but not really good for customers. Otherwise works as advertised . ### 5/5 — Mantapssss *2026-05-28, version 3.0.1* Bismillah semoga membantu ### 5/5 — Lo máximo *2026-05-26, version 3.0.1* Fácil de usar ### 5/5 — Sugestion *2026-05-13* Good app but It is bad not be available a lifelong PRO (buy once) version. R$29,90 per month is not a good one! ### 5/5 — Bagus *2026-05-05, version 3.0.1* Mantap jiwa ### 5/5 — Perfekt! *2026-04-02* Ich bewerte selten aber hier wurde wirklich ein super Job gemacht! Die App läuft einwandfrei und hat genau das gemacht, was ich brauchte. 4K-Videos komprimiert und die Metadaten erhalten. Hat mir sehr viel Zeit gespart! Danke! ### 5/5 — Extraordinaria App *2026-03-29, version 3.0.1* Súper recomendable, reduce al máximo los vídeos sin perder calidad ### 5/5 — Works a treat and its free *2026-03-24, version 3.0.1* Very good app ### 5/5 — Me gusta!!! *2026-03-23, version 2.4* Muy muy interesante ,práctica y sencilla,hasta para mí que tengo 69 años. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
