Tons of free ones on the appstore. ### 1/5 — Useless *2022-10-11* I’ve literally never written a review on an app before in my life but this one had me laughing. Before you are even on the home screen you are greeted with an ad, only to be required to watch another 30 second ad to import a video into the app. Then after the video is imported, ANOTHER ad was presented to me. And then after all that, the finished file was nowhere to be found. What a joke this app is. Deleted 😂 ### 1/5 — Compression is not free - one ad per use *2022-09-19* Boo this man. Every click watch another ad, there’s other apps that are usably free. ### 1/5 — Beware DO NOT DOWNLOAD!! *2022-09-15* App is a scam, will make you watch a bunch of ads and then still make you pay $10 before converting even 1 video. ### 1/5 — Garbage. *2022-09-13* Forced advertising. And hopeless job. 2 compression sizes - but 8+ names for the same garbage outcome. You guys suck ### 1/5 — 😡 *2022-09-09* Very hopeless App 😡 **Developer response:** Hello, We are genuinely sorry to hear that you had a frustrating experience with our app, and we apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused you.

Thanks ### 1/5 — Stop *2022-08-08* Watched multiple ads to get a free compression yet still makes you buy the pro version without compressing ### 1/5 — Waste of Money *2022-06-15* I downloaded the app and successfully compressed one video. After that I had to pay the $9.99 to try to compress other videos. But, it failed. The other videos I compressed had only audio. No visual, just a black screen. Feels like a scam. I definitely want a refund of the money I wasted on this app. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2022-06-14* Watched two-three adds to compress a video. Once the video finished compressing, I tried to save it and it didn’t even save to my camera roll. Closed the app and tried to see if it was saved somewhere, but it wasn’t, and I would have to compress it again after watching more adds…. ### 1/5 — Money grubbing *2022-05-28* Already is filled with ads but still forces you to pay a premium to use the app anyways which is scummy and there are other video compressors anyways take your videos some place else ### 1/5 — Only one time? *2022-05-23* Good app it compresses but for ten dollars? Really? If it was maybe one or two dollars I would definitely get it but 10? Waste of my time and phone memory. ### 1/5 — Scam *2022-05-17* This app is a scam ### 1/5 — terrible *2022-04-26* literally only can use it once ### 1/5 — 0 STARS!!!!!! *2022-04-26* Waste of time, doesn’t compress the videos at all!!! Waste of money don’t use this app! ### 1/5 — Rip off *2022-04-21* I don’t mind paying for apps if I know I’m going to use them long term. However we are moving home and had to send over 2 short videos with an inventory. It let me compress the first video but not the second. Trying to bully me into paying £8.99 to finish the job. Uninstalled. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Botted reviews *2025-11-26* No way tons of people 5 starred this with the app only having 1 star reviews. It’s against Apple’s TOS!💀 ### 1/5 — 개선이 많이필요 *2025-05-10* 동영상 찾지를 못하네요 ### 1/5 — Doesn't work at all. *2025-05-07, version 3.8.5* It freezes often and you need to restart each time. Then start all work from scratch. Delete and relax, waste of time. I laughed loud when I see the premium price. ### 1/5 — Dziadostwo *2025-04-23, version 3.8.5* Nie działa a do tego zmusza do pisania recenzji ### 1/5 — Nie działa *2025-04-21, version 3.8.5* Badziew, reklamowany jako darmowy, a nie działa w ogóle ### 1/5 — Not working for mp4 *2025-04-20* Not compressing creating blank 15 second black file ! Mp4 is not being compressed at all false clams being made ! Dev pls fix and test ### 1/5 — Annoying and irresponsible *2025-04-20* The app asks for a review even before you finish the onboarding. Then EVERY TIME you import a video. For EVERY video. So you decide to rate it in the hope that it would get off your back. Right? Wrong! The link is broken. It takes you to another app! And of course, you get the pop-up message: You don’t own this app. In order to rate the app, you have to purchase or download it first. Then you go back to the app and try to import another video. But you have to rate the app first! It’s mandatory. 🤮 Frustrating is to put it really really really mildly. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t retain video info *2025-04-20, version 3.8.5* After editing the videos, the edited new video doesn’t retain the original meta info. Original date and time aren’t retained, neither are the locations ### 1/5 — Worst app *2025-04-19* Could not compress video…. instead the resultant video size increased by 20 MB. Such a pity….The resolution slider and Bitrate slider in custome mode is of no use and does not make any difference how you adjust the resultant video would be oversize than the original video. The bitrate of the video could not decrease more than 5-10 bitrate. I have not seen such a worst application. ### 1/5 — Can’t compress even with ads *2023-02-18* I understand that this costs money to produce and I’m fine with watching ads. But the feature ‘Watch a video and earn a free video compression’ doesn’t even work. It lets you through to the compression details page but when you actually press ‘Compress’ it asks you to pay… please don’t advertise free when it’s not actually provided. ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 *2025-07-27, version 3.9.5* 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 ### 5/5 — C’est bien mais *2025-04-21, version 3.8.5* J’aimerais bien pouvoir classer les vidéo et photos par taille car c’est très pratique pour trier ### 5/5 — Nice app! *2025-04-20, version 3.8.5* It’s simply and useful. ### 5/5 — Best *2024-12-15, version 3.8* I RECOMEND THIS FOR EVERYONE ### 5/5 — App is ok. *2024-03-20, version 3.7* It’s doing what it suppose to do. Easy to use. How turn off adds ? It’s possible to buy ads free version ? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
