### 1/5 — Broken

*2026-07-26, version 2.8.2*

A shame this app has stopped working. Looks like the dev has abandoned. Especially after we spent money.

### 5/5 — Great App, still improving

*2026-07-04, version 2.8.2*

Please consider two improvements to your great App.

1). Under TRIM option, please add 960x540 and 640x380 as preselected options.
   It is very difficult to adjust using freeform due to accidental finger movement. Another way would be to change FreeForm to accept input like I requested above.

2). Under Merge: 
      Please allow selection of multiple clips instead of one clip and having to repeat.

3) please allow various transitions between clips

You already allow selecting multiple clips under deletion.

Thanks for this great App, and for allowing and listening to feedback to help improve your APP!

Respectfully..Stan

### 4/5 — Essential tool, one improvement

*2026-05-30, version 2.8.2*

Video compression is a very useful tool to reduce size of videos and make storage on your phone. The only improvement necessary is making sorting by file size able to pull your media up faster because it makes making storage on your phone an effective but incredibly time consuming and draining process. I'm talking like no joke a 2 minute wait time PER EACH LOAD UP OF sorted by file size camera roll. And if you leave the app it will lose progress of that load and you have to start over.
Please see if there is any way to speed the process up I use this app continuously to manage my phone storage and would like it to be more efficient and less demanding of my time and ability.

### 4/5 — Does what it says on the tin

*2026-02-04, version 2.8.2*

Does what it needs to do. UI is a little rough around the edges but well worth the price for compression. Useful for making smaller copies of large or long videos via iMessage or airdrop. Fairly quick on a current phone (17 pro); was slower on my previous one (11 pro max) but acceptable.

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-10-05, version 2.8.2*

Best Application For Video Compressing

*2025-08-14, version 2.8.2*

### 1/5 — Working after a bout of errors

*2025-07-13, version 2.8.2*

I paid for one version and worked well. Now it gets errors. EDIT: DEC 1 2024, WORKING AGAIN! TY
Edit July 2025: Failed!

### 5/5 — Good app

*2025-06-02, version 2.8.2*

Pros: The app keeps metadata, renames files to VIDEO<num>, saves to camera roll and allows deleting original ones.
Cons: there’s no details view to see file names, no way to recognise already compressed files, no support for iOS multi-select feature (touche and slide), compressed 117 videos and didn’t get file delete popup even when delete option is ticked, bitrate and resolution don’t seem accurate (are they taken from first input or last? Why not simply showing percentage for bitrate? And keep original or not for resolution?)
