### 4/5 — Missing one thing

*2026-07-04, version 3.0*

Provides the best video compression on iOS in my opinion, but it’s missing one thing, the option to use the file picker instead of always having to have the video loaded in your library. Please add this, I will definitely update my reading to five stars

### 1/5 — Hostaged Premium

*2026-04-02, version 2.6*

It almost never gets past 10% compression before showing compression error notifications. These developers almost make the user feel like a hostage—pay to Compress—before actually proving it works. There are times when we used to be impressed by what we received from the Primary service and voluntarily paid for the upper tier with wonder at the amazing features. The App Store has lately allowed dodgy apps like this to charge and provide absolutely no service as claimed, in the expected manner and timeframe that an iPhone Pro user would anticipate. So, to the developer, my message is: release an update ASAP to remove glitches and allow users to compress video in user-desired format. If an user want their videos saved in a format they choose from the list, then it must and should work (if it is already listen in the app’s conversion option) because they paid for it. Error messages are no longer acceptable. 

And to Apple: get your act together before before pro user exodus. your original motto - User controled and privacy for a premium product mean nothing if developers are just taking money and doing no updates. Ensure these developers maintain their work according to the specifications, listing, and the subscription premium option promises.

### 1/5 — Paguei a versão paga e não funciona

*2026-04-02*

Gostaria de ter o dinheiro de volta

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-01-21, version 2.6*

Hardly ever works. Says “error saving to album after around 5 to 7% progress”

### 1/5 — Don’t bother to purchase

*2026-01-15, version 2.6*

This app worked well until I purchased it. On purchase it stopped working with “Error cannot save to album” when I try and compress. Requests for support were met with silence. Look elsewhere for a solution. Shame as it worked quite well before I purchased.

### 1/5 — Não salva o vídeo

App fantástico

### 5/5 — Facilidade

*2026-07-12*

Muito fácil comprimir vídeo, totalmente gratuito, apenas coloquei o vídeo e ele já salvou o vídeo comprimido nas fotos.

### 5/5 — good app

*2026-07-04, version 3.0*

it does a good job and gives you options for lots of things to get your video down to size while compromising on what *you* want. the $1.99 purchase was worth it to me because its one time. seeing the app still being updated is reassuring that it wont be abandoned and eventually delisted in the near future too.

### 5/5 — わかりにくい

*2026-06-30*

分かりにくい上に広告が長い。
無料だから広告はしかたないけど、アップロードした動画を削除しただけで長い広告ながれるのは流石にウザイ。

圧縮中に流れるなら、心穏やかにみるけど。

ウザイ流され方すると、広告商品自体もウザく感じるから「は？使うか！」ってならない？

広告主はいつまでこの手法を続けるんだろ…

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2026-06-29*

Eficiente! Sem restrição e cumpre oque promete.

### 5/5 — Best kind of Pressure

*2026-06-24, version 2.6*

it’s relieved so much space for me, i love it.

### 5/5 — 容量が減り大満足

*2026-06-19*

操作も簡単で無料で圧縮して下さり、大変大助かりです。
