Great app

Been looking for a proper bit rate compressor. This app is great. No fuss.

Was great

I have used this for years with no problems. Now after new iPhone 8+ and iPad mini 5 upgrade it freezes saying no access to photo library — check settings . It does not appear in settings so can’t give access. Please fix.

Response from developer

Hi, apologies for the issue. The 2.9.1 update should fix things for newer versions of iOS and newer devices. Please reach out to me via the in-app support if you have any further problems.

Desperately needs an update!

I’ve used this app for years and it’s been great when it worked! It filled a big gap in the iOS ecosystem, which was a proper video compressor/re-encoder app.
However, these days, it’s completely broken on newer devices & OS versions. It’s an absolute shame, considering there’s STILL not much available that had this level of control. It’s been 4 years since the last update, unfortunately, so I’m not very hopeful...

Hi, really sorry for the issues, especially as you were finding the app so useful. The 2.9.1 update should fix things for newer versions of iOS and newer devices. Please reach out to me via the in-app support if you have any further problems.

Does what it says perfectly.

I hope the dev hasn't abandoned it. It's a fantastic app, and it would be great to see it continue.

Response from developer

Thanks for the kind words. I went off the radar for a while but I've just released 2.9.1 and will try keep things updated a bit more regularly from now on!

Useless

This app does not work. After compressing the video it never gets sent to the appropriate library. There is no way to send the videos after compressing them, which is after all the entire reason for compressing them. I gave one star because zero wasn't an option!

Response from developer

Hi there. Please reach out to me via the in-app support if you're still having issues. Videos should save back to your photo library and from there you can share them using the Photos app. To date, I've kept Video Squishy focused on the squishing bit more than other functionality such as sharing... I'll consider adding it in the future. Thanks.

FAQ

What does Video Squishy do?

Video Squishy is a utility app designed to re-encode videos from your device into smaller files. It achieves this by reducing their size and/or quality, which helps save precious memory on your device and can significantly speed up upload times when sharing them online.

How does batch compression work?

You can select one or more videos from your library to add to a queue. Then, you configure compression settings or choose a preset, and tap 'Squish'. The app will then re-encode all videos in the queue, saving the compressed versions back to your camera roll.

What are the supported video formats?

Video Squishy only works with videos natively supported by Apple devices, such as those recorded on the device itself. It does not handle files like .avi, .mkv, or any with DRM protection, such as iTunes purchases.

Does this app allow uploading or sharing videos?

No, Video Squishy focuses solely on the task of compressing videos in batch. It does not have features for uploading or sharing videos directly. You will need to use other applications for those functions after compressing your videos.

Is Video Squishy free to use?

Based on the provided information, the app is not free. It operates on a paid monetization model, meaning an upfront purchase is required to use its features.
