### 5/5 — There is no refund for $20 unused purchase!

*2026-07-16*

Apple customer service for app store is terrible. They declined my refund request which I accidentally purchased. There is no way to contact realy person to resolve the issue. Terrible service.

### 5/5 — The Only Choice for Video Compressing on iOS

*2026-07-11*

The UI - simple; The performance - excellent; Ease of use - incredible.

One of the few app that I can reliably use on day to day basis. The fact that I can pop a video in, compress to Discord share size, and out within seconds is sensational.

Rarely an app made me want to write a positive review, but the amount of time this app saved me the hassle of figuring out how to evade Discord’s size limit deserve all the gratitude, five stars and all.

**Developer response:** Hi there,

Thanks for taking your time to write this review, it means a lot! I’m glad you liked Kompresso :)

### 5/5 — Brilliant!

*2026-07-06, version 2.0.4*

I downloaded the app after seeing a discussion with the (independent) developer on Reddit. I also emailed the developer some queries before buying and they were very helpful and kind.

I like that the videos are compressed locally so there’s no worry about a big corp owning your data. It’s also an excellent app and every upgrade has been a huge improvement. 

You can compress multiple files at one and mass delete what you’ve compressed as well as choose multiple compression settings so you can make the file smaller but not lose much quality at all. 

Highly recommend it!

### 3/5 — Disappointed

*2026-06-03*

I like and paid this video compressor because it’s natively built and it had background processing vs live activities.. what the hell happened to that??

### 5/5 — Recommendation

*2026-05-10*

Have Select All feature and skip videos that are already compressed as the file names have Kompresso on it…

### 4/5 — Really great video compressor

*2026-04-24, version 1.4.6*

It’s wonderful and super useful. The settings are fairly customizable to give a tradeoff between quality and space. The only things I wish is that it could automatically adjust the timestamp to match (the metadata setting doesn’t seem to work for that), and possibly support queuing files. Also the background processing failing is a little unfortunate but afaik that’s not an issue with the app itself.

### 5/5 — Magic App

*2026-04-11*

Super user friendly, actually does what it says it's supposed to do. No frills, just simple and clean. Amazing.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words :)

### 5/5 — Love the app! Can you give us the option to remove Kompresso from converted file name?

*2026-03-27, version 1.4.6*

I absolutely love this app. I’ve been using it for months now, but one thing that I wish was changed was that it always renames the file to “Kompresso_IMG0000”. I wish we could remove the renaming of it. Or at least let us choose our own name before the _IMG0000. That would be superb! Maybe after that, batch edit? That would be amazing!!!!

### 5/5 — Best app

*2026-03-26*

Love this app! It’s incredibly easy to use and worth every dollar. I’ve been able to compress large videos files into much smaller ones, which has saved me a ton of storage space. 

As someone who values their privacy, I appreciate that the developer has made user privacy a priority. Their privacy policy is straight forward and easy to understand. In today’s world, if something is free, then you’re pretty much product.  

I appreciated that the developer provided a free trial. Thanks to that I was able to try it out and in the end purchase it.  Vote with your wallet people, if you value privacy, support those who respect yours.

### 1/5 — Didn’t work at all

*2026-03-02, version 1.4.6*

30 minutes and zero KB compressed
