It’s just shy of Mary Poppins levels of nigh perfection. After a trial run I deleted my previous compression app immediately. This app could exceed or at least match Ms. Poppins’ practical perfection if the devs addressed two fairly minor points: - If you only grant limited access to your library, then after you use it if you want to select more videos to compress you need to close and reopen it to get that prompt again. - The compressed video seems to always come out as the same file type as the original, no way to select an alternative file type. If there was a button to trigger the popup to select more videos on demand that would be swell, but since I guess most folks grant full access it’s probably low yield for them. If we could select a file type for the compressed outcome with info regarding how different file types would affect the compressed file size before we decide, that would be very, very useful indeed since not all platforms accept all file types for uploading. All in all though, it’s good, I’ll take it, I like it a lot. ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2026-05-29* If you could allow users to choose mp4 as the output it would be perfect. ### 5/5 — GOAT App GOAT Developer *2026-03-12* Thank you for this. Simple to use, no ads, no tracking, no watermark. Great appreciate the developer for making this available for free. ### 5/5 — Simple, to the target *2026-03-09* User friendly, fast and simple. ### 5/5 — Excelente *2026-03-06, version 1.3.0* Excelente aplicación, fácil de usar, comprime los archivos rápidamente ### 5/5 — Mona *2026-02-04* The best compressor ### 4/5 — Your compression needs fixing *2026-01-22, version 1.3.0* It fails to compress some videos while others work for some strange reason. ### 5/5 — 优质压缩 *2026-01-19* 速度快 质量好 效率高 易操作 ### 5/5 — Recommended to everyone *2026-01-13* It’s free it’s off-line zero ads and it works. It was very bad for me that the storage is always full but now. I always have a lot of storage but before compress video make a screenshot of the date and time so when you come press, delete the old video you would Have the date and you can set it up in photo but it must have some work so that it would automatically make the date and time back like in the original video. ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2025-12-04* The fact that you can compress videos from the photo library and re-save it there it’s really amazing, truly helps you save iCloud space which was my main problem. I like free but I think this app should have some compensation. :) ### 3/5 — Allow vids to play before selection *2025-12-02, version 1.3.0* Wish I could see all that was compressed in one album. Wish it would let us play vids sorted by largest before selecting. Scrolling and selecting gets stuck. ### 2/5 — Could be better *2025-11-16* First run was ok, but second time using, no option to save to different location and kept getting an error ### 4/5 — Keep metadata & 5 ★ *2025-11-15* UX is far better than any app with the same function I only wish could keep metadata of kompressed videos ### 5/5 — Compressed videos *2025-11-13* Free and below it says no data collected ### 2/5 — please please please add option to replace previous files once compressed *2025-10-24* otherwise great app ### 5/5 — So muss eine App sein *2025-10-21* …klein, kostenlos und nützlich. 💪 Ist hier alles gegeben. ### 4/5 — Great *2025-09-30* Works as intended with no ads, just a bit slow. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Time and hustle wastage *2026-06-07* I totally disagree to all of reviewers who praised this useless app. Can’t even compress a single video file after taking its time. **Developer response:** Hello there, sorry to hear it. Could you write to our support to give us more information about your issue so we will be able to fix it? ### 1/5 — MOV Video geht nicht *2025-12-14* Umwandeln funktioniert nicht, die Datei ist plötzlich von knapp 400 MB auf 2 MB geschrumpf obwohl das Programm sagt dass es die Datei auf ca 200 MB schrumpfen will ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-11-12* Appears to do something then asks for access to my photos. Then it dumped a version of the file that was the exact same size as the one I dropped into it. This thing is a scam or something. ### 1/5 — Same issue as before Cept now it’s worse *2025-03-11, version 1.2.1* Gave it a try 3X! Ignores customers - it’s all about DATA MINiNG! Wants access to ALL photos NoT just the one you need to compress!!! NOT COOL!!👎🏻This time it took 2x to compress it to desired size (mb) but it gives NO option to delete old files or photo or video already compressed & puts it in a storage vault somewhere showing percentage in a circle of used so called “storage”. Sorry but this should’ve been fixed since last river as it’s been months now! Movin on … ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-12-24* — — — ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-12-15, version 1.2.1* Does destroy your video for sure ! Does not work. Should be pulled down for r fixed. ### 1/5 — WHERE GOES my video after compress? *2024-12-07* I can't find my compressed video and old version of video delited too. ### 1/5 — Need more *2024-11-05* Only 1 GB? Lame ### 1/5 — ???? *2024-09-10* The smaller the file I try to make, the bigger the file gets. Would not save to my Photos. Thanks for wasting my time ### 1/5 — DIDN'T WORK FOR ME *2024-09-04* Took all day to compress and then it produces some type of DOCUMENT that could not be opened. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This app is super good but very underrated and needs more attention *2026-08-04* This app is amazing, no stupid ads, ui is amazing, you can select multiple videos, there’s no in app purchases so it’s everything free, all features unlocked unlike the other compressor apps which are locked behind a pay wall ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2026-08-03* Only one very minor complaint - no avi capabilities. Otherwise beyond happy. Maybe next update? ;) Otherwise with the formats accommodated it’s fantastic. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-07-19* Free and super easy to use ### 5/5 — One of the best apps I’ve ever used *2026-06-30* Does exactly what it’s supposed to do, no fluff, no ads, perfection (feature request: multiple passes) ### 5/5 — Einfach und gut *2026-06-22* Einfach aufgebaut, klar verständlich und sehr effektiv. Die Auflösung ist wählbar, der Schieberegler der Bitrate regelt die Dateigröße und der Ton, falls vorhanden, wird mitgenommen. Klasse 👍 ### 5/5 — Perfect! *2026-06-12* Easy to use and very quick way to downsize your videos. Love it ### 5/5 — Absolutely fantastic *2026-06-01, version 1.3.0* This app is absolutely fantastic. I noticed it hasn’t been updated in about a year, I really hope you continue developing it. It’s one of the most impressive apps I’ve used in a long time. It’s so polished. Great job! ### 5/5 — einfach genial *2026-05-12* So muß eine Anwendung sein .
