I’m not paying for slightly better quality that can be beaten by another free app ShrinkVid, so toodles ### 3/5 — I miss you ShrinkVid 💔 you shrank my heart 💔💔 *2022-12-03, version 1.1.111* I loved this app, it was my bae fr.. but then they updated it so it doesn’t compress videos over 100 MB.. without paying with moneys.. and all my videos are over 100 MB… I tried looking for other apps to fill the gaping hole in my heart but its not the same… I miss the good times we had ShrinkVid… come back to me 💔💔💔 ### 5/5 — I like this! *2022-11-26, version 1.1.111* Useful for compressing, need good internet though, but no problems for me! ### 2/5 — Updated made it a worse experience *2022-11-16, version 1.1.111* I loved this app, it had many features including being able to select the specific file size which was the main reason I was drawn to this app. Unfortunately with a recent update, the UI was changed and many features were removed. There used to be a big selection of presets you could pick from, these have since been removed leaving only the file size slider left. The bulk compression was also downgraded, I used to be able to compress more than 9 videos but now 9 is limit even when you’re a paid user. I’ve found over the course of 3 or so updates, the app has also slowed down. It now takes longer for thumbnails to load A nicer UI is good but not at the cost of functionality of the app ### 5/5 — Great video compressor! *2022-11-03, version 1.1.79* I was able to get my video compressed to the exact size. Love the feature to compare the before and after as well. 10/10 ### 4/5 — Last experience with it *2022-10-24, version 1.1.79* I have recently redownloaded this but the last time I used it. It had taken up a crap ton of my storage. Around 7.5-10GB of data ### 5/5 — Compresses really good *2022-09-08, version 1.1.72* I wanted to share a meme but it was 60mb which was too big. I was able to shrink it down to 7mb with the lowest setting. Even on the lowest setting I the video still seems pretty good especially for meme quality. 5/5 definitely get it if you need to compress videos. ### 3/5 — App not launching--stuck on Loading thumbnails screen *2022-08-10, version 1.1.70* Hello, First off love the app I even paid for the subscription to do longer and larger videos, but I cannot even access the app sometimes it will be froze at the loading thumbnails progress bar for quite some time-- minutes on end. thanks ### 5/5 — Impressive Compression *2022-08-06, version 1.1.70* I tried another app and it was not close to this app— it is easy, very organized for ease in finding your videos. Tops in Video Compression! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App não funciona *2026-07-29* O app é Pago e Não faz o que promete ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-09-25, version 1.1.151* Got the app. PAID for the subscription and then once videos were “compressed” they just basically didn’t exist. Couldn’t open or watch them and definitely couldn’t send them. ### 1/5 — Online version is better *2024-07-18, version 1.1.151* Compressor only works sometimes, online version of this works makes videos look much better and is completely free ### 1/5 — Very bad *2023-07-25, version 1.1.151* I hated both experiences on website and app ### 1/5 — Deceiving *2023-06-09, version 1.1.150* Says nothing about if you have a video over 50mb that you have to “upgrade” to compress it. Shameful deceitful garbage ### 1/5 — Not impressed *2022-10-30, version 1.1.79* It was mediocre at best. Why does this app install a billion empty folders? No thanks! ### 1/5 — Fraud app *2022-07-29, version 1.1.70* Do not download this app. They upload your videos and take so much time to convert and after doing all process , nothing is done. Pathetic app it is. Dont waste your time. ### 1/5 — GARBAGE *2022-04-07, version 1.1.61* IT MADE MY FILEW WORSE ### 1/5 — This app is tricking people *2021-07-06, version 1.0.71* It says watch ad to unlock, but nothing happens after that. Cannot trust! ### 2/5 — Target a file size(mb)- i cant do it. *2023-06-17, version 1.1.150* I would buy a subscription if the program was able to convert videos to a given size and without reducing the video resolution. Please hear me. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awsome!! *2025-08-03, version 1.1.151* I am seriously amazed by this app.. where have you been all my life :-) Instant year sub, no wonder the 4.7 rating.. ### 5/5 — High Quality, User Friendly, Highly Rated! *2025-06-14, version 1.1.151* This is such a great find.
