The Developer has proceeded to remove all but 1 of the audio tools from this app

All to spin them off into a new app that costs an arm and a leg. Really awful behavior and not a way to run any kind business. You ADD features and maybe promote the newer one with MORE features, not remove features someone has PAID for and then tell them to buy a seperate more expensive app. Very awful behavior. 0 stars if I could

Response from developer

Since some features of the two applications overlap, maintaining them separately means I have to make the same changes twice. If you're a paid user and this has caused you any inconvenience or loss, please feel free to contact me via email.

A Must Have App

Medrea is by far the best compression app on the App Store. It has more features than just compression such as:
1. Format conversion
2. Video to Live Photo or animation (WebP, AVIF, or GIF)
3. Audio extraction from video
4. Removing metadata
In addition to what I previously mentioned, Medrea provides image and audio editing tools like what it provides for videos.
The most important thing to know about this app that it utilizes the power of Apple Silicon which means it does not upload your photos or videos to a shady third-party website.
Also, what I loved the most is that it is a one time purchase for all of my Apple devices including my iPhone, iPad, and Mac mini.

Smooth Compression - Edit - Wrote this the Friday before 1.14 with In App Purchase was added.

Batch compression without ads and a slick interface on iOS. Really nicely done. Haven’t used all the tools but the video compression and having a clear cache in app is well thought out.

Would be nice to have select all function after compressing batches as clicking save one at a time is a bit much. But nice to have a share function, save to iCloud Photos album or save to iCloud files options.

Not gonna ding it a star for that. But plz add that if possible!
Edit - developer is making it right and they are very kind for their response.

Great app 🙏🏽

Developer has fixed the lifetime unlock plan

I contacted the developer via email, and he informed me that I should restart the app or redeem the lifetime offer via a link. I am updating my review to reflect this great move by the developer.

Still one of my most used & favorite apps (even with the new in-app subscription purchase)

I worried this app would eventually switch to locking features behind a paywall - and while a paywall was added to the newest update, its’ core features are still unlocked for free. The paid subscription does unlock some useful features, but I’m happy that the app still does what I need it to do without having to pay for a subscription. And by the way, it does what I need it to do very well! Thank you.

Edit - Will ding a couple of starts for added in-app without grandfathering users who had it first.

Response from developer

I’m truly honored to receive your review. I noticed your 5-star rating at the time and it made me very happy. The “save all with one tap” feature has already been developed, but hasn’t been released yet. I also hesitated for a long time about adding in-app purchases—I didn’t really want to include them, as they can affect the overall user experience. Recently, I lost my job and need to earn a bit to cover basic living expenses. For now, I’ve decided that you can contact me via the email in the app (App → Mine/Profile section), and I’ll send you a redemption code. This is limited to 500 users—there are 500 free plans available in total.

很赞,不过压缩视频发现没法继承原视频的exif,增加一个是否保留exif信息的开关就好了

ICON

The icon in the previous version looked better.

里面有很多实用功能

就比如webm视频转换,而且直接保存到相册,方便

The best and the only one of its kind that make you feel satisfied

The best and the only one of its kind that make you feel satisfied. I've tried so many apps that claim they can do what they're supposed to do but eventually they gone make you feel disappointed except this one. Keep up the good work
