Simplemente resulta tedioso trabajar con algo así. Paga si quieres tenerla usable aunque no la utilices mucho. Hay alternativas gratuitas mejores y que te ahorran batería además de dinero. ### 3/5 — Too many ads *2025-11-08* Lots of ads that don’t close and discounts hidden everywhere. I understand and appreciate your response, but it just seems like overkill when attempting to evaluate the app. **Developer response:** We understand how frustrating ads can be, and we really appreciate your feedback. Advertising helps us cover maintenance and development costs so we can keep the app running and continue improving it. We’ll keep working on making the ad experience smoother and less intrusive. ### 5/5 — Great video editor *2025-08-24* Best purchase for odd and sods video edit ### 2/5 — Tui slow slow bohut slow hai useless aur toh data saving toh karta hi ny bekar *2025-07-24* Fix karo **Developer response:** Sorry to hear that you're facing issues. Could you please let us know which profile you're using to compress the video? That'll help us understand the problem better and assist you more effectively. ### 5/5 — Five stars *2025-07-03* Very good and free ### 5/5 — Fantastic compressor! *2025-07-01* This app is easily the best video compressor on the App Store. It provides all the customization options you could want (resolution, frame rate, bit rate, codec selection, etc) for people that want that level of control, and has tons of presets for quick + simple conversions. It also has better performance than many others I’ve tried, it’s clearly making use of the dedicated hardware in the iPhone 16 Pro. ### 5/5 — Excepcional *2025-06-11, version 8.6* Muy útil esta aplicación para pasar mis archivos de video a mp4. Muy y muy práctica. ### 3/5 — Could have been 5 stars with a delete original video *2025-06-09* Undoubtedly the most useful video compressor to save space. Highly recommend. Nice ads infusion for those who wanna stay free we all totally get the monetization but please increase batch selection default from 2 to 4 since we have to watch like 10 videos before we can achieve 1 batch compression. I gave a 4 star rating because I’m sure with a paid plan you can select as many files to batch compress but what you lack is “delete original video” it’s a pain to redownload the compressed video and go back to look for the original in the gallery to delete. **Developer response:** Hi, thanks for your thoughtful review & kind words- it truly motivates us to keep improving. We appreciate your suggestion about increasing the default batch selection for free users. We’re currently reviewing our purchase structure and will definitely take this into consideration. As for the “Delete Original Video” feature, we're happy to share that it's already in development and will be available in an upcoming update. Thanks again for your support, and we hope to earn that 5-star rating from you soon! ### 5/5 — good functionality despite ads *2025-05-24* Gute Funktion ohne Einschränkungen. Werbung nervt dafür aber gratis. ### 5/5 — Excelente *2025-05-23, version 8.5* Excelente, una magnífica herramienta. ### 5/5 — Me ayudó mucho *2025-05-01, version 8.5* Excelente ### 3/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2025-05-01, version 8.5* Sono mesi ormai che le pubblicitá per selezionare piú di 2 video o non partono o partono e non mi fa andare avanti ### 4/5 — Could have been 5 stars with a delete original video *2025-05-01, version 8.5* Undoubtedly the most useful video compressor to save space. Highly recommend.

Saved file in photos and in files. Photo states compressed, files says still the same, only looks like it changed the compression amount not the actual video . **Developer response:** We’re sorry for the confusion. Based on your description, it sounds like the video was successfully compressed from 342 MB to 86 MB and saved to Photos, but the file you're seeing in the Files app may not be the compressed output. Could you please share the steps you followed when saving the video to Files, along with any screenshots showing the file sizes? This will help us better understand what happened and investigate the issue. Please contact us at support@inverseai.com — we're ready to help and will do our best to resolve this for you. ### 1/5 — Does NOT save the original Metadata *2026-05-06* Does NOT save the original Metadata and you can NOT upload from your iOS albums… even more frustrating than the above is the lack of instructions or really any explanation. I even visited the developer website and could not find any how-to. **Developer response:** We’re sorry for the frustration and appreciate your feedback. The app does support preserving metadata — in the Compression Settings screen, tap Additional and enable “Keep Metadata” before starting compression. Regarding importing from your iOS albums and the lack of instructions, thank you for pointing that out. We understand clearer guidance would make the experience much better, and we’re working on improving both usability and in-app explanations. If you’re still having trouble importing files or keeping metadata, please contact us at support@inverseai.com and we’ll be happy to help. ### 1/5 — So many ads *2026-04-27, version 8.36* This app is riddled with ads ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2025-11-02* Lots of ads that don’t close and discounts hidden everywhere. Just seems like trickery and gamy to me. I’ll use another app. **Developer response:** We understand how frustrating ads can be, and we really appreciate your feedback. Advertising helps us cover maintenance and development costs so we can keep the app running and continue improving it. We’ll keep working on making the ad experience smoother and less intrusive. ### 1/5 — Iklan g muncul *2025-06-09, version 8.6* Sudah tidak ada iklan yang mau bekerjasama kah? Semua fitur hanya bisa di gunakan kalo nonton iklan atau bayar, tapi iklan tidak muncul otomatis fitur tidak dapat di gunakan. Jadi fungsinya aplikasi ini apa kalo semua fitur berbayar ### 1/5 — Tiene muchos fallos *2025-03-25, version 8.4* Al borrar la app se borran los videos comprimidos de la app archivos, al convertir por lotes la app no respeta los nombres originales de los videos y les pone IMG_****.mov ### 1/5 — Шляпа *2025-02-26* Шляпа. Не разобрался **Developer response:** Спасибо, что обратились. Не могли бы вы сообщить нам, с какой именно проблемой вы столкнулись в приложении? Мы будем рады помочь вам. Для более быстрой помощи свяжитесь с нами напрямую по адресу support@inverseai.com. ### 1/5 — RAPING U WITH FORCING TO PAY THEM WINDOW AND ACESS NOT EASY *2024-08-04, version 7.1* This is rape . ACESS to app YOU FORCED,NOT RATHER SUGGESTED TO PAY THEM ### 1/5 — Видео сжало, а весит много *2023-03-07* Не понятно как сжимает данное приложение , в телефоне объем показывает маленький. Когда загружаю видео после компресса на диск , видео весит больше чем было до компресса , что за прикол ? ### 1/5 — Cancelar *2023-02-16* Como cancelo o app? Coloquei para fazer o teste de 3 dias mais não gostei e não me atendeu e agora não consigo cancelar. App não dá esse acesso.
