Compress Photos & Pictures for Negative User Reviews
✓ Change in colourTotally changed colour of photo by compressing it?.Version: 1.2
✓ Could be so much better!Too many adverts to negotiate around..Version: 2.5
✓ What a silly appFancy installing a photo editing ap and not able to save as.Version: 2.0
✓ Not happyPaid for upgrade but if I resize more than 1 pic it freezes on my iPhone and my iPad So I have to do one at a time grrrr.Version: 1.4
✓ Stalls out a lot, and interface is slow and clunkyI recently shelled out for ad free, but feared this app was abandonware since there hadn't been any updates in a long time. So, I was glad to see the privacy update! That's great. What's not so good: the app was already glitchy in occasionally stalling out midway through a multi-file compression, and now it does it a lot more. Fairly unreliable now. Also, the interface still has all the same silly limitations. You can't control the percent of the reduction precisely, but only in 5% increments. Sometimes that's nice/fine, but sometimes it doesn't give you the size you want. Also, the whole interface is slow and laggy-- buttons appear, but they don't work for several seconds, so you just have to wait and keep retrying. Finally, although it's a minor annoyance of bad design, the home screen has just one function: to let you tap to start. Yet you must tap on one very tiny button in the middle of the screen (the +), and the whole rest of the screen does nothing..Version: 1.5
✓ Doesn’t work anymoreIf I upload a photo it will let me pick the compression settings but then it will just sit at 0% and not do anything. Hitting the cancel button doesn’t do anything either. The only way to get back to the last screen is force close the app and try again. Tried 3 times in a row and didn’t work at all..Version: 2.1
✓ Not what I was looking forI was looking for an app that would take my photos and compress into one file to send easily by email. All this did was make the photos smaller and this does not help me. I cannot seem to find the account settings in the menu on the app to cancel my subscription. I hope they will refund me. They were quick to respond… hopefully I’ll get refund..Version: 2.2
✓ Doesn’t work if you have lots of photosAs a photographer and person who just likes taking lots of photos, I have a camera roll of over 30,000 images. When trying to use this app, it doesn’t even seem to recognise that I have that many images, and doesn’t show all of my albums either. Waste of time for sure!.Version: 1.4
✓ PhotosWhen compressing the photos it saves the photos in a different order when putting them on a computer. It would be nice if the photos weren’t renamed. When putting the photos on the computer all of the photos are shuffled, not in the order the user took the photos in..Version: 2.7
✓ The quality after the update is still bad.You DID NOTHING in the update my quality was supposed to BE BETTER but it was WORSE. Just a trash app wish I could upscale my videos for free that I compressed. If you make it so we can revert our videos back to normal I will be happy. BETTER FIX THIS. This is the second time I’ve reported. I was supposed to write this is in the video compress.Version: 2.2
✓ The ads will drive you crazyThis app is full of ads. You can only add three photos at a time without buying the program and although the software is ok, there are better options out there with a heck of a lot less ads. It might be a money spinner for the app developers, but very, very annoying for the user..Version: 2.1
✓ Please fix!There is only one problem, when I decrease size of screenshots and delete original, the new decreased version is no longer in screen shot section! You've got to fix this! Please!.Version: 2.0
✓ FreezesThe app continually freezes when trying to compress multiple pictures (on the paid service!). Please help.Version: 1.4
✓ Doesn’t compress Raw photosDownloaded the app to compress some raw photos that were taken on my iPhone to save me putting them onto a laptop. Doesn’t support the file type..Version: 2.7
✓ Time wasterTakes too long to allow access to photos. Try it a few time even restarting my cell after Uninstalled and then installed it. Takes too long. Still lots of bugs..Version: 2.10
✓ Gets stuckWhen it works, it’s great but most times it gets stuck and stops after compressing a few photos. I’ve started over several times. Downloaded to IPad Pro, same issue. Disappointed! Still doesn’t work even with the new update to version 1.6. And now they limit you to 3 at a time when it works..Version: 1.5
✓ RubbishIts rubbish it doesnt do what it is made for.Version: 1.4
✓ Window in chineseA weird message in Chinese characters came up.Version: 2.8
✓ Not so sure about it!I don’t know if I want to keep this app!.Version: 2.3
✓ Slow and laggsI updated my software in my iPhone, Very very slow now. Barely works, takes so long to compress photos. Considering cancelling subscription..Version: 2.9
✓ Terrible, Terrible interface. Delete after useIt does not give preview of file size after compression. Instead of opening the main photo album on the phone, it opens a list of random albums. A nightmare tonyse.Version: 1.4
✓ Does minimal, does a couple of key things wrongIt minimally does what it says: compresses images and does a decent job. The images look good. Here are the two things it should fix to be really good: 1. Redesign the app to process any number of pictures. I have an iPad Pro 12.9 that has plenty of memory and storage. There should be no reason why it can’t convert 60 pictures without crashing. I suspect it’s a poor design. It should at least offer this option: Rather than process everything in a batch and then commit it, save it as you go and then ask me at the end if i want to delete the originals. I’ve got plenty of space. If you’re failing because you’re running out of memory trying to cache all of this, you should be able to monitor memory and warn the user rather than crash. 2. You’re deleting my EXIF data - there’s no good reason when you’re compressing my files that you should be dumping my metadata. That’s a show-stopper for me. I’ll be seeking a refund for that one..Version: 1.2
✓ Can’t sort by sizeWorks well enough. Can’t sort photos by size so it’s a lot of scrolling and guessing..Version: 2.3
✓ Not user friendlyNot user friendly. Having a difficult time getting it to work.Version: 2.8
✓ Doesn’t give compressed file sizeI want to compress my photos to achieve specific file sizes, and it seems like a huge oversight that the app doesn’t tell you what file size you’ll achieve with the compression settings you’ve selected. Just hit and miss; go ahead and compress, THEN find out what the file size is, and then try again because you didn’t quite hit the right size..Version: 1.3
✓ SucksWhen you try to use it, a full screen ad launches. 1st time, it was Chinese & I had to click a button I couldn’t read to proceed. I closed the window & tried again. Same experience. I clicked one button, goodness knows what I agreed to, & then it worked. Tried it 2nd time, since I guess I’m really stupid. It launched another ad. English, not Chinese. No way to go past this time. Closed window, tried to edit photo again. Stuck. Deleted app. How it got those high ratings is beyond me. It feels like a security threat to use it..Version: 1.5
✓ Relentless spam advertising practicesDon’t use it. You can’t even press a button without being spammed. Terrible!.Version: 2.7
✓ Adds from hellToo many damn adds when you are just trying to get the app to function!!.Version: 2.4
✓ Annoying appFlooded with advertisements and only 3 pics can be compressed.Version: 2.3
✓ CRAP ! AVOID IT!!!Do not install it. ! Do not pay subscription! Avoid it! I installed app and it was looks ok. When I start choosing pictures from my mob. just every second or third could by marked up. Dont know why?? I play little bit with app then I see it do not supporting high resolution pictures. Wasted money..Version: 2.7
✓ Full version doesn’t work with iOS 16.3.1I had been very happy with the full paid version for my first year with this app but it started getting glitchy after I renewed with my upgrade to iOS 16.1 (only working with smaller number of images at a time and never deleting photos when requested), but I dealt with that. Unfortunately, after upgrading to iOS 16.3.1, the app crashes and closes after tapping the “Select photos to compress” button on the Home Screen every time (it never is able to access my photo library). I tried restarting and shutting down many times and waited weeks trying periodically in case a bug needed to be worked out. Too bad it doesn’t work on iPhones any more as it was superior to all the other image compressor apps before this. I would like a refund for my renewal for this year as it only worked (partially for a couple months) before being useless..Version: 2.4
✓ More like a scamAsk you to upload pictures and than don’t even let you have a look at bigger size without subscribing to pro version. Scam.Version: 2.4
✓ Needs updatesHow do I delete some pictures from this app? How do I send pictures through email or text files? Need these updates for 5stars.Version: 2.0
✓ Compressed photo's colors are washed out compared to originalI got this app to compress ios screenshots since they take a big file size ~7mb. The end file size is great but the colors are not like the original. Even when I select 100% quality..Version: 2.0
✓ Don’t interrupt what I’m doing to ask me to review your app.I always give one star when the app interrupts me to ask for a review. If everyone else starts doing this, maybe we can get the point across..Version: 2.3
✓ Fraud alertThey say the free version will not charge your credit card. However, my bank had to decline 2 unusual activity charges for $1 and $39. Also the ads are really corny and nearly x-rate. I later got a response where they straight up lied that the app never asks for credit card information. When it does exactly that. The response also did not address the x-rated adds..Version: 2.3
✓ Sticks and Requires RestartTried the pro version of this app several times. Also communicated with the developer. The pro version is supposed to allow compression of at least four photos at a time, but it is inconsistent: sometimes only one or two, other times all four. Not worth the price, and not good for people like me who have hundreds or thousands of photos..Version: 1.4
✓ PoorUgh, did not compress my image and annoying adverts Don’t download this app there has to be something better Could have done this in seconds using an app on win 10.Version: 1.6
✓ Used to be Great, No Longer WorksI’ve used this app quite a bit in the last couple of years, and it’s been great… However, now when I open it, and touch the “choose photos to compress” button, it just opens a blank screen. It’s like it’s trying to open my camera roll, but only the top bar saying “Photos” is there, and no photos actually load so that I can select any. I’ve force closed the app and reopened, I’ve restarted my phone… neither got it to work. Oh well, I’ll try another app!.Version: 2.4
✓ Doesn’t workReduced the file size and the images still don’t appear in my gallery, only on the files document.Version: 1.4
✓ Missed opportunityThis app has potential, but wouldn’t it be nice to have a quick select option where I can just drag my finger to select more than just picking one by one..Version: 2.3
✓ Not first enoughIt’s work fine but apps are too slow on my iPhone 13.Version: 2.7
✓ UI is horrible but app is okayThis app gets the job done. I use screen shots a lot of time, and can compress them by 90% (they will only be viewed on my phone) But the UI is horrible. Tiny fonts. Dark blue letters on a black background. Nearly unreadable..Version: 1.4
✓ Paid butPaid on my iPad to stop ads and be able to compress multiple photos. Still get ads on my phone - same Apple ID. Why?.Version: 1.2
✓ One and done, I supposeSo I installed this app for one reason- to help me post clear pictures of sports cards for sale on a trading card forum. The site only allows attachments to be a certain size, and my iphone pics are apparently way too large. Anyway, the details in the first photo that I shrunk down became very blurry, rendering the new file downright useless. I’m not sure why, but oh well..Version: 1.3
✓ Mmm not sureIt says free version , enter credit card details which it says will not be charged and then asks me to pay £39.99 to verify my account??? Free version or not?.Version: 2.7
✓ Reducing photo sizeJust downloaded this app for the purpose of reducing the size of an iPad Pro photo at 1.43 MB down to 1 MB or less. Worked like a charm ! Very efficient 👍🏻 ✅ So strange, second time using app and I can't access nor find in photos the compressed pics ! 🤦🏼♀️🙄🤷🏼♀️.Version: 2.3
✓ The worstOnly works if u buy upgrade.Version: 2.9
✓ Corrupted email attachments in Outlook AppAfter spending 30minutes or so, sitting through adverts for every 3 of 35 photos I needed compressed. When I tried uploading, the compressed photos to my email, it crashed outlook. Tried restarting phone, shutting down apps and the only thing that worked was the original uncompressed photos. Waste of my time, and potentially harmed my iPhone..Version: 2.7
✓ Not worth it - functionality lackingPaid for the app 3 days ago - would like a refund. In other apps you can be in the Photos App (iPhone or Google) and after selecting the photos you want to resize you can hit Share and a list of apps pop up to share to (Google Drive, etc). This app DOES NOT show up. So instead, you have to open this app, scroll to the back of your photo roll and hope you find what you’re looking for. Other resize apps do not have this problem. Don’t buy this one if you want this functionality. Thumbs Down.Version: 2.7
✓ NiceFirst test show that some cropped screenshots get compressed but original screen size photo. most of my screenshots are cropped, and I have to crop them again after compression. I got a “memory warning”,tho. fullSizeRender lose their original name img# .Its always unclear if it gets fullrender compressed. Often I dont want it compressed but simply a smaller file bec a apple-cropped picture is often still stored as the original I just want to erase. the ads now are in full chinese, you have tapwithout knowing what it says to continue..Version: 2.9
✓ App doesn’t respondApp doesn’t work at all. Nothing responds on the app..Version: 2.1
✓ The hol point is to compress photos 🤦♀️Not allowing me to compress some photos “ unfortunately this photo is not supported “ I literally don’t understand how it’s a picture I taken off my phone… though the camera 🤦♀️.Version: 2.7
✓ Easy to use but freezes w 10+ filesThis is a simple app, easy to use. however with any more than 10 photos it freezes halfway and the cancel button wont work so there us nothing to do but quit the software. then my album has duplicates of the few photos the app already processed... i paid 2.79 just to struggle with something so basic?.Version: 1.4
✓ No heads up for compressed sizeWhen using App there is no estimate of what the compressed size will be so you end up doing the compression multiple times,poor form. Also this forces upon the user many many adverts. I have deleted this app..Version: 2.7
✓ Can’t save image to phoneLet’s you compress image but can’t save it to your phone, what a waste of time.Version: 2.3
✓ Doesn’t workDoesn’t work Once downloaded Click to open and nothing happens.Version: 2.0
✓ UhhhI don’t know why but since iOS 14 once I click photo gallery it takes like 40 seconds to open it, every time I compress a photo it’s the worst..Version: 1.4
✓ WHY DOES IT FORCE YOU TO INPUT A CREDIT CARD?I am trying to download and try your app but it continue to mandate I enter a credit card when I do not want subscriptions to movies, games etc. If we decline the subscription, the system will not allow you to continue without entering a credit card. While your app says its free the system will not allow you to compress a file without a credit card-isn’t that fraud?.Version: 1.3
