Mixed Feelings

What I didn't love was the app's payment onboarding flow. I thought I was starting a free trial for a day or two and would be charged afterward, which turned out not to be the case. That's my bad for not reading it clearly enough. But $9.99 a week is absolutely insane for this app, if you ask me. That's about $520 a year, and I just don't see anywhere near that value. I'm sure there's a cheaper yearly option, but the pricing doesn't feel balanced for the value, especially since there are no ongoing server costs when everything is done on-device.

The UI took some getting used to and wasn't immediately intuitive. I didn't realize at first that "duplicates" aren't always exact duplicates, just near-identical.

Happy to come back in the future maybe as I know what I’m in for but I hope there are some changes.

Wish it worked.

Great in concept. Constantly fails during optimisation resulting in the same photos being compressed over and over

Response from developer

Hello. I think they are probably failing because you close the app. For the best results you have to keep the app open. In fact all other apps you will find on the App Store require that you keep the app open. HEVCut is different and gives you control to use other apps while the compression is going on. Still, it is a best effort case and sometimes your phone decides that it can no longer run the compression in the background and it will stop the compression. Nonetheless on version 10.1 there will be more updates to the way the background compression happens so that it is less likely that your phone decides to stop it while it's on the background but this is still the state of-the-art performance that we can get right now on iPhone. Can you use the app on Mac too and background compressions will be better. If you think this is something different you can direct email or text me directly from the app. I am working every day to make HEVCut the absolute best app it can be

Paywall Paywall Paywall

Everything EVERYTHING is behind a paywall. You let me swipe for a day now not even the swipe feature is available. Much prefer the other developers app called SwipeClean

Response from developer

If you really like the swipe feature you can keep using it free on my other app SwipeClean. Unfortunately HEVCut is a fully paid app that you can try for a bit. If you later change your mind come back to HEVCut. Update: Since you now are happy with SwipeClean. Would you mind reconsidering your rating for HEVCut

Bien mais modèle économique discutable

10€ pour une semaine et je pensais que c’était une période d’essai… très cher. Fonctionne bien néanmoins mais modèle économique à revoir

Response from developer

Hi, the weekly price it's just supposed to be for trying the app you can find a much better pricing for the yearly option. Also, if you read the letter from the developer, you will see why it's the best app in the market.
