Kind of defeats the purpose of subscribing to this app. **Developer response:** We understand your frustration—losing audio shouldn’t happen. Our team is working to fix this issue ASAP. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. ### 3/5 — There was an issues two hours ago, better now. *2024-02-21* I left a 1 star review because suddenly I was getting “unable to do request.” A couple hours later now it works again just compressed a 6 minute 500MB Video! I was very suspicious because this is no longer on the store for some reason and the app icon changed into something weird too. This thumbnail is now identical to another compressor app that looks a little sketchy. Change the thumbnail back. It was so aesthetic. Either this thumbnail is a mistake, this app has been hacked, or there was some internal error. If you go back to how it was just a week ago I’d say 5-stars! **Developer response:** Thanks for the detailed feedback! We’re glad the app is working again and appreciate you pointing out the icon and store issue. There was a temporary technical update—we’re working to restore the original look and feel you liked. Your input helps us improve, and we hope to earn back that 5-star soon! ### 3/5 — Well *2022-10-06* It sounds like from many of the reviews that you have to read them in order to use the app so that’s what I’m doing. I will say the first time and ask him to read, I told him no, and it let me move on to compressing, but then, when I tried to save the video, it wouldn’t let me do anything else unless I paid for the app. So after reading reviews, I downloaded the app again and I’m trying this way **Developer response:** Thanks for trying again! Some features may seem accessible, but saving videos requires a subscription. We appreciate your feedback and are working to improve the experience! ### 1/5 — u have to pay for it? *2022-09-28, version 3.4* if ur gonna make it mandatory to pay just make the app cost money and not waist my time ### 1/5 — Não faz nada *2022-09-06, version 3.4* Não funciona ### 1/5 — Do not download *2022-08-21* Click bait… features can’t be used without subscribing… don’t waste your time ### 1/5 — Am Ende, man bezahlt, natürlich... *2022-08-14, version 3.2* Am Anfang ist alles werbungslos und super. Wenn es um "speichern" handelt, dann kommt die super Angebot zu bezahlen oder das Video wegzuschmeißen. Trial Version? Was ist das, wir seid bugfrei obwohl man das überprüfen kann. Bezahlen Sie ab sofort für ein ganzes Jahr! Das ist das beste zu machen. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2022-07-09* Each time I try to compress my 3GB movie it crashes ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work for reducing video sizes *2022-07-04, version 3.1* I tried to resized my video, but it can make it only less than 1/3 of the size (from 345 to 145). I don’t recommend it. ### 1/5 — Disaster *2022-06-01, version 2.6* Tried first video from my phone. Pushing “check video size” crashes the app Trying to store the video i get a subscribe dialog trying to get money through monthly subscription. Don’t even bother ### 1/5 — Overpriced subscription *2022-05-07, version 2.4* Uninstalled ### 1/5 — BUGS OUT *2022-03-24, version 2.3* For some reason whenever I tap on the “Check Video Size” the app closes and I have to reopen it. ### 1/5 — Bad *2022-01-07, version 2.2* It crashes everytime I try to save it in my camera roll. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesnt work, and privacy not protected *2025-11-18, version 10.2* Tried Free trial. Doesn’t work. Just crashes. Not only that, your privacy is not protected. Once you upload video, there is no option to delete it. .Will be unsubscribing, not using again. Warning others. Moving on. ### 1/5 — Schrott *2025-06-12, version 9.4* Fängt damit an das ich Videos über 5 Minuten nicht hochladen kann weil Datei zu groß. Wie witzig, wäre die Datei nicht groß, dann müsste ich sie ja auch nicht komprimieren. Bei den kleineren Videos funktioniert es aber man kann nach dem komprimieren den Ton nicht mehr abspielen. Was will ich mit einem Video ohne Ton? Absolut unbrauchbar und Zeitverschwendung. Probeabo wird sofort gekündigt ### 1/5 — Compressed video has no audio. Faulty app. *2025-03-18* I compressed a video using this app, but the final result came with no audio. I don’t recommend this app. **Developer response:** Sorry to hear that! We're investigating the audio issue and working on a fix. Thanks for your feedback! ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2024-03-19, version 7.3* Not working on my video ### 1/5 — It was a good app till *2023-01-04* They started to force buying a subscription when trying to compress a video ### 1/5 — Rubbish app *2022-11-27* This app does not work and has no instructions and does not work ### 1/5 — Don’t download!! *2022-11-16* There are so many free apps just search ‘video compress’ they do this and better without charging you 8.99 a month! ### 1/5 — I want a refund *2022-11-02, version 3.4* This apt is not meeting my needs! ### 1/5 — Not actually free *2022-10-13* Fake free app, can only use when you purchase their upfront 10$ a month plan.
