Compress PDF - Make PDF Smaller for Negative User Reviews
✓ Don’t do it!I downloaded two apps, this app 1st. You have 2 options, wait 60-90 minutes for the compressed file to be returned to you, or pay $4.99 to get it within minutes. I paid the $4.99 because the other option is ridiculous. Then your file is uploaded somewhere, you wait a few minutes while it uploads with a message that says don’t close this app while uploading. After uploaded, you get a compressed file back in less than a minute but it was too compressed with horrible quality. Looked like a really blurry fax. No settings, no adjustments, just a smaller file. So I downloaded the 2nd app from someone else, which I had to buy at the same price of $4.99 (so I wasted the price of a coffee). I liked it sooooooo much better. It was faster, didn’t leave my device, and I had full control over 5 dpi settings and an image quality adjustment slider. The 1st try didn’t compress it enough so I lowered the quality a little and did it again which worked out great. Basically, keep looking because I was not happy with this app at all..Version: 3.1
✓ Crashes all the timeWaste of time.. Don't bother buying it.Version: 3.1
✓ ScamScam and a waste of money, it doesn’t work!!.Version: 3.1
✓ No presets and unreliable results!There’s no quality presets to select, my file with texts + pictures turned out differently etc wrong locations or pages flipped horizontally. I do not recommended as it can’t be use after you have spent you money!!.Version: 3.1
✓ Not badThe end product is good after one trial but took forever to download. A better trial would be to see the actual speed at which it happens, then pay for the app after 5 trials at the actual speed - not trial at the slow speed..... how would I actually know the speed before buying?.Version: 3.1
✓ MrHave to wait 60-90minutes, to speed up 3.99 , then have to wait again ..Version: 3.1
✓ Bad AppHorrible app. Keeps freezing. I followed all their directions to compress the pdf and then I could not even see where my file went..Version: 3.1
✓ BadUnauthorized to access files by google.Version: 3.1
✓ GoodCompressed PDF file, everything looked good except my photo was not clear..Version: 3.1
✓ 50mb to 2.5So yeah I got 95% compression however there's no settings. I'm compressing a magazine and wanted it around 10mb but no way to control the amount of compression. The default is way too much for me. 3 stars Bc it worked but for $5 should have more features..Version: 3.1
✓ IrritatingMakes u wait for more than an hour for free version.Version: 3.1
✓ Doesn’t workVery disappointed in this.Version: 3.1
✓ OkNot bad but need to get paid version.Version: 3.1
✓ Very DissapointingVery expensive and yoiu get very little back! Not optomised for latest screen sises, no file size option, no landscape view, worked once after I paid my $14! , no support, no developer website. I ended up buying a $4 app to get the file size i wanted. Honestly, if you charge this much at least offer an up to date product!!.Version: 3.1
✓ Refund?Just paid full price to convert a pdf. Quality so bad after conversion I could never use in a professional setting..Version: 3.1
✓ Don’t do it!!Paid $4.99 only to have an app that crashes right after opening!! Want my money back!.Version: 3.1
✓ I don’t recommend itIt takes forever 60to90 min to download the file.Version: 3.1
✓ Load of poop£9.99 to compress a file or wait 60 to 90 minutes - what a complete load of crap! Like most the other reviews here, take their advice and mine and avoid. Look on the web instead..Version: 3.1
✓ QualityIt compressed alright but the quality is not all that good and it takes too much time to compressed if you’re using basic plan..Version: 3.1
✓ You need to wait 60 to 90 minutes “yes minutes not seconds”Does not include even one single free trial!.Version: 3.1
✓ Files don’t show upFile don’t open as led on to believe.Version: 3.1
✓ Is this designed to be awkwardAwkward user interface. Gives everything meaningless filenames consisting of random letters. How is that useful to anyone? Sorry, feels like this app needs more development work..Version: 3.1
✓ AVOID - scam app!Ive never been compelled to leave a review but as a customer this app is a complete rip off and I think it’s only fair other people get forewarning too. I needed a pdf compressing for an upload on the go, this was the most popular one so I thought I’d give it a go. App asks for a payment of £4.99 to access instant downloads or wait an hour for the free version. After struggling to get the document I wanted to open in the app, the process simply did not work. To add insult to injury there’s no way to contact the dev and you can actually access many free sites from the web browser on your iOS device to do the same thing INSTANTLY. If I could I’d request a full refund as the product isn’t as sold nor does it work. My advice - avoid like the plague..Version: 3.1
✓ Don't buy itI tried to compress a PDF file 25Mb, it seems quickly uploaded but then take forever to get a compressed file. Should buy me back a cup of coffee so I don't fall asleep when waiting for your app processing!!.Version: 3.1
✓ Worst app everI downloaded the payed version app to convert a PDF version of my CV and it is been lagging on compressing for three days. I have sent four emails to customer support but no answer. So my money has gone to waste!.Version: 3.1
✓ Not worth any starsTook ages to load file, compressed file was difficult to read. I was unable to compress another file, app keeps crashing..Version: 3.1
✓ RubbishGarbage! Doesn’t work just like the other ones.Version: 3.1
✓ DO NOT BUY THIS CRAP APP!!!!Bought this for £4.99 Used it once....Took ages to compress and now it wants to charge £4.99 Every Time You Use It!!!.Version: 3.1
✓ Doesn’t workI downloaded it and tried clicking on the Drive button to pull a file from there, and it comes to an error message. Boo..Version: 3.1
✓ Needs to improveApp is so slow and once it finally compresses the file it changes the quality of the file, making it appear blurry and almost unreadable..Version: 3.1
✓ Total scamDon't waste your time..Version: 3.1
✓ Not a free appWait time to convert 90min... total waste.Version: 3.1
✓ HorribleThis is the utmost worst app I ever encountered in the App Store it takes tremendously long periods of time and it does nothing I tried it fully and I wanted to believe but I gave it a 1kbite pdf only to have 1- i file with 1kilo bite size 2-the file was effectively empty 3-the amount of wait and ads is inhuman for the user.Version: 3.1
✓ Very few options very limitedFirst you are requested access to your files Then there is no landscape view mode only portrait Then when you look through your files they have all been rearranged in another order Than if you re able to locate your file and request to compress it you re asked for $7.99 or a wait of 90 minutes. Once you have paid your file is compressed to 33% of its original size and it becomes so poor in quality that it is unreadable. A great need for improvement and certainly not honest to charge anything for it..Version: 3.1
✓ LolCompressions take 60-90 minutes unless you buy it for $15..Version: 3.1
✓ Pretty goodIt took ages for the free trial to compress the PDF but it came out nicely. I wouldn't pay $14.99 for it though. $4.99 is more realistic. Thanks..Version: 3.1
✓ Waste of moneyDidn’t even work after paying $14 & found another app that did it for free!!.Version: 3.1
✓ Did not work for local fileFollowed instructions for how to compress a file saved locally on the phone, the app reacted by doing nothing.Version: 3.1
✓ How can I get my money backStarted with free trial but it was taking too long to compress file and decided to buy it to speed things up. As soon as I purchased it the app decides to close itself down half a second each time it's opened making it completely unworkable. Absolute rubbish!!.Version: 3.1
✓ CrashtasticCrashes every time I try to open a PDF..Version: 3.1
✓ Blackmail - RansomwareUse this app and you’ll be presented with a message telling you that your pdf will take 60-90 minutes, but if you agree to pay ($9.99) it’ll happen straight away. This is ransomware. They don’t tell you this in the app description, which they should. The proposition that it saves me CPU time is dishonest: if it used my CPU I wouldn’t need their server time. In the description, devs claim compression won’t degrade quality: yet it does. Images are frequently so compressed they become jaggies. Frustrating lack of control. Better still, Apple should provide image compression options in its “print to pdf” function so that we don’t create massive pdf’s that need this app..Version: 3.1
✓ GarbagePaid for the premium after saying I wouldn’t have to wait. It’s been 2 hours for one document and I still haven’t been able to open it. Now when I open the app it automatically crashes it time. What a waste for $10..Version: 3.1
✓ Nonsense appDon’t bother with this slow scam. Wait 90 mins to get compression. They don’t mention when spending time downloading..Version: 3.1
✓ Long wait timeYou have to wait of 60-90 min or pay 8.99 for instant access, kind of mediocre. If they had an option watch an ad to get compressed PDF then that would’ve been idea enough. Not great if you need compression straight away.Version: 3.1
✓ Useless appUtterly rubbish.Version: 3.1
✓ 90 min wait!Why not use my phone to power the conversion? No instead I upload it to your super computers where it takes 90min to compress a PDF file? Useless and misleading, all a trick to make you buy. I don't mind paying for software, but advertise it as pay software..Version: 3.1
✓ RubbingDoesn’t work When you copy file to ap from Phone.Version: 3.1
✓ Rubbish AvoidThis app is a total waste of time and money, avoid like the plague.Version: 3.1
✓ Very poor qualityUpgraded to speed up compressing of files. The quality of the compressed file is very poor quality. Waste of £9.99. I have tried to get a refund from iTunes but they have referred me to the developer and the developer have referred me back to iTunes. DO NOT download this app..Version: 3.1
✓ Don’t waste your moneyFile compressed to much it could not be read. If there’s a way you can set the file size it would be good otherwise I just wasted $7+ on this app 👎 no bueno.Version: 3.1
✓ Sorry, but this is rubbishPurchased for £9.99 Sent a file for compression, came back compressed... but... illegible. Try and do better guys!.Version: 3.1
✓ Simply, does not workInstructions say open doc and choose the open in or box arrow, then option for compress will appear. It does not appear..Version: 3.1
✓ TerribleThis is a terrible app....even high res pdf’s are unreadable after compressing. What a waste of money.Version: 3.1
✓ Useless appDid not even convert the first document, crashes! How do I get my $9:99 back. Just like any product, I should be able to get a refund especially after 10 minutes of purchase.Version: 3.1
✓ IdiotsTotal losers made this app.Version: 3.1
✓ NOT FREE!!!Not free and now I don’t know how to cancel it! Says it’s free for a month, then auto renew. But before it will show you your compressed document, you have to give them your credit card. I’m not doing that! But there’s s no “cancel” in iPhone’s settings, not a settings in the app itself! Hopefully they don’t try to charge me!.Version: 3.1
✓ Didn’t workTried compressing a 1 page file and it simply never finished.Version: 3.1
✓ Very ordinaryWith an urgent need to compress a PDF for email this product gave me something unusable..Version: 3.1
✓ Waste of money does not work on I phonePurchased this app does not do anything other than upload you file from phone , wasted money purchasing this.Version: 3.1
✓ 60 90 minutes to compress laughableDon't waste your time, scam app forcing you to buy it, not recommended, laughable joke.Version: 3.1
✓ Waste of time!Doesn’t work, don’t bother with this 👎.Version: 3.1
✓ Junk, Used Foxit Reader Virtual PrinterI've had a need now and again to compress or lessen the size of PDFs. I tried this app and it seems like a dud... absolutely junk. I've already got Foxit Reader installed on my PC so I just used the virtual printer and it accomplished what I needed..Version: 3.1
✓ Not recommended90 minutes wait for nothing.Version: 3.1
✓ Free Version Forces you to WaitMisleading. Don't bother to download unless you want to wait 90 mins for compression or pay 6.99. 0 stars..Version: 3.1
✓ TrashMakes u wait and quality is garbage.Version: 3.1
✓ Total rubbish appDon’t waste ur time on this app , totaly rubbish..Version: 3.1
✓ Compress Documents too muchGlitchy app. That did not update my payment I had to refresh app 5 times for it t recognize payment. The one reason I needed the app was to compress a 55 page document which it did eventually but the words were so blurry it could not be used. I wish i could get my money back on this one..Version: 3.1
✓ RubbishWhen attempting to reduce the file size ,a window pops up offering either a free option which takes 60 to 90 seconds for the file size to be reduced or alternatively you can opt to pay £8.99 as a one off fee for all file size reductions immediately . I waited an hour and still the “compressing” window fails to move on. My Idea was to trial the free file option and then if this worked within a reasonable time of let’s say 5 minutes, then for the convenience I would happily have paid ; however how can I now trust this app to do what it’s says it can even after I pay. Very disappointing..Version: 3.1
✓ This app is a conDoes not work and charges you money just when you need it.Version: 3.1
✓ What type of crypto currency is this thing trying to mine?First and last time I launched it - immediately deleted after that first run. a) doesn't seem to understand I use my iPad in landscape mode b) app insists that I have to leave it running in the foreground for 60-90 minutes before it will convert my first file nope.Version: 3.1
✓ Poor QualityFrom 45MB to 192KB with no options for quality output. All of my photos turned into pixels. Need improvements big time..Version: 3.1
✓ Total RubbishFiles after compressing won’t open.Version: 3.1
✓ Complete waste of timeTook hours and the file turned out in very bad quality. Deleting ASAP..Version: 3.1
✓ Gave upMuch better apps out there that don’t make you wait 60-90 minutes to process a document. I gave up and tried a different app - liked the other app so much that I bought the paid subscription..Version: 3.1
✓ Waste of time!This app is trash i waited more than 60 minutes for my file to compress and nothing happened after waiting for over an hour for zero results. I do not recommend.Version: 3.1
✓ PoorDoesn’t work.Version: 3.1
✓ That’s Funny...I thot this app just didn’t flat out work, till I read a review about down load time, funny. The developer should have clarified this. 4.99 might be reasonable, but this turn off sent me to PDF compress that has ads, but compresses on the spot. Delete..Version: 3.1
✓ Complete scamTakes ages to get around their terrible UI , then eventually when you add a PDF , in my case 34MB it wants to take I minutes to compress it or upgrade for £4.99 .. save your time and patience and avoid this app.Version: 3.1
✓ Don't botherWhy create free version if we have to buy the premium to actually get the business done. No need to waste anybody's time..Version: 3.1
✓ Can I please get a refund?It shrinks the file too small that makes my legal documents unreadable. I didn’t think it was going to shrink it down that much to make it unreadable..Version: 3.1
✓ HorribleThe quality of the document looks horrible.Version: 3.1
