Compress Videos & Resize Video for Negative User Reviews
✓ Paid for App & then more?This app was not advertised as being free so I assume that as soon as I chose it, and put in my ID and password, I would be charged for it. It downloaded very quickly and I began to upload a video so it could be reduced, but then a page came up that to continue I would have to activate the account by putting in some information, including my credit card number. No, thank you, that is not the way that I have experienced apps purchased in the Apple App Store to work. I’m sorry to say that I will not be getting this app, even though it may be the best one out there. Who knows how much my credit card would be ultimately charged for it?.Version: 2.5
✓ AwfulI tried three times to compress to different sizes and it keeps giving me an error code saying "this video could not be compressed more than the original file." Lol... huh?? Not sure if that's a way to get customers to upgrade to the pro version but if it is, it definitely didn't work on me..Version: 1.4
✓ Paid versionThis app did what you needed by for large files, I needed to try compressing a couple times but you can’t do it more than 3 times in 24 hours unless you want to pay,.Version: 2.7
✓ Narrow pictureEven when chose not to resize the frame, I only got a fraction of the frame visible..Version: 1.3
✓ Did not work for meI could not get it to compress a single video. Just kept saying cannot compress beyond original size…. Oh and the ads just keep coming… deleted after 15 mins.Version: 2.1
✓ Waste of TimeI needed to send a little video for a product support request. When I tried to send the message, the file size was too large. I found this app and only looked at the total stars and total reviews - my mistake. It worked for a tiny video on my apple ipad but the longer video (a whole 50 seconds long) all of a sudden is not a file that can be compressed. The EXACT same device shot both videos back to back. All of a sudden, the app suggested all my troubles would be over if I just pay to upgrade to the premium version of the app. Perhaps the developers should look to tone down the bait and switch behaviors and actions of the app. I’m sorry they wasted my time..Version: 2.8
✓ Don’t useThis just killed one of my videos and it wont even play now.Version: 2.8
✓ AwfulHideous app does not work. Waste of time!! Do not use. Where do videos go when app is deleted? UPDATE following reply from developer ( thank you ) I can tell you your personal videos stay in the app even when it’s deleted !!!! Unbelievable!! An app that doesn’t work AND you can’t remove your video. Wow.Version: 2.1
✓ Pretty Much Useless.I’ve tried reducing the size of 90 videos so far - all 1080p, 50fps. Set it to reduce to 30fps, and each and every video says it cannot be reduced in size. Very disappointed..Version: 1.4
✓ It works I guessIt’s pretty good. It may not be fancy but heck, it works..Version: 1.3
✓ PoorSimply reducing resolution, no codec selection, no suggestion what size it will be after compression before you hit compress button. Poor.Version: 2.3
✓ Junk appNo idea what's happening Just keep saying compression error with ridiculous reasons. Then ads popup again and again..Version: 2.8
✓ YOU DIDNT FIX ANYTHING IN THE UPDATE QUALITY IS STILL BADYou 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..Version: 2.4
✓ Can not upload the videoThe support tells to reset the way of access my video, but can’t find the Setting App by many tries..Version: 2.5
✓ Glitchy artifacts on flickering contentShrank the video successfully but introduced blocky flickering artifacts on fine flickering content..Version: 2.1
✓ MJI created account added payment info, went to compress video on free membership and it would not do that but instead ask for payment info again..Version: 2.8
✓ Not happyDownloaded, went to compress first vudeo and got hit with advertising in chinese that could not be closed..Version: 2.4
✓ What happened?It was working fine about a week ago but now it can’t compress my vids? “Adjust FPS and Resolution” because it “Can’t be compressed any further”? My videos are like half a gigabyte and y’all can’t compress it to like 5 FPS with a resolution in the **double digits**. Please fix this for the love of god..Version: 2.1
✓ Where did my video go??Picked the video to compress. App showed that it completed compression and then it was nowhere to be found on my phone. Don’t use this app, I think it’s used for spyware and nothing else.Version: 2.1
✓ RubbishThis app is a joke. Doesn’t work, since you touch „Select video” it freeze and nothing you can do..Version: 2.4
✓ Do not buyI’ll start by saying this is a useful app but DO NOT BUY IT. Instant regret after paying for this app. It is extremely slow when you select the videos, if there’s more than 2 or 3 videos it starts struggling to load and most of the time just crashes. It takes 5-15 mins for it to just process the videos you selected (if it even works at all). You’re better off having the free version and doing it 1 by 1..Version: 2.5
✓ Lack of controlsIt has potential but with the lack of controls, and being able to adjust the threshold of compression is surprising. I don’t want to have to change the aspect ratio of a video to compress it further. there’s free software out there like Handbreak that does this so much better..Version: 2.8
✓ WorkedIt worked like a charm so I could send a large video thru messenger. However I had to do it a few times before getting the size I needed. I just wish that you could pick the size you need or set it for other apps like messenger. On the downside, after sending it thru messenger. My friend nor I couldn’t play it! It had zero video data in it! Sorry this app is a no go! At least not for what I needed it for..Version: 1.4
✓ Useless appThis app doesn’t show the target file size when you select compression settings. After waiting for a minute for it to “compress” my video i got an error saying “this video cannot be compressed below its original size. Please try to change the settings.” What a waste of time..Version: 2.7
✓ AwfulIt doesn't work at all don't recommend waste of time!!!!.Version: 2.5
✓ Restrictive file optionsHaving bought this app I am disappointed to find that it can only load videos from apple photos and unable to load photos from other locations ie iPad folders or MacBook folders.Version: 2.7
✓ FakeIt's not working at all.Version: 2.7
✓ But the app didn’t compress to 60fpsI really like this app, it does what it said, mostly. So the one major drawback is even if I choose 60fps, the compressed video will always be 30fps. Tried it in iPad 2018 and iPhone X. Both result are the same. I hope the developer will fix this. Because the only use case for me right now is to downgrade 4k60fps to 1080p60fps..Version: 2.3
✓ Tried the ad version, worst experienceI have tried the ad version, the problem is once the ad is started I can’t close the ad unless I close the app itself. App gets stuck with ad. How can I trust to purchase the ad-free version.Version: 1.3
✓ App worked for past year, now it freezes on Chinese advertising.So this app has compressed lots of videos successfully. Until it didn’t. Now it freezes on some kind of Chinese advertising! Not sure if they are going to fix it anytime soon. It has forced ,e to find other app..Version: 2.8
✓ PointlessCompresses videos but you will be unable to locate or use them in the app.Version: 2.0
✓ Looked promising, ended up wasting my time.Just wasted an hour of my time *trying to* compress the same file 4 times. First time, after losing all the progress made from switching between apps and leaving it running in the background and coming back to it, which it didn’t inform of that happening if I were to not have it running in the foreground. Second time, after about 20+ minutes of it processing a message popped up saying ‘file couldn't be compressed to a smaller size, try adjusting the parameters before compressing to see if that will work’. So I adjusted, and frankly don't want to waste any more time writing this review, but long story short- third time told me there wasn't enough space on my iphone once it was nearing done, which I followed its prompts to clear some space in settibgs, which when i came back to it again all the progress (of 20+ minutes !!) — again — lost!! Only to persevere and now try for the win, with smaller parameters, only to after over a half an hour come back to it (in the foreground on my phone) 100% complete — and now says ‘file couldn't be compressed to a smaller size...’ Couldn't it figure all of this out BEFORE having me go through the motions and entire processes just to tell me it can’t!?? Great intention with creating the app — but needs more practical user-in-mind design. Best of luck towards improvement..Version: 1.3
✓ Hit compress it suggests other apps? Does not compressThe app worked great for about a month for all size Videos. Then all of a sudden after about a month I’d select a video to compress, hit compress and a new screen comes up trying to get me to download other apps. I couldn’t close this screen even though it has an “X” in the upper right hand corner. I’d close the app reopen and the same thing happened. No compression of selected video compressed. I even deleted the app then redownloaded from the App Store. This changed nothing. Can’t use the app nymore?.Version: 2.8
✓ Compresses SAME videoI just downloaded this app. But it’s fairly simple and straightforward, even giving suggestions on what size to compress it too! I thought, oh this is great! But I’ve tried compressing four different videos, checking them afterwards each time. Checking all my steps. (Remember, it’s simple). But it compressed the first video all four times even though the blue selector was on different videos the next three times!.Version: 2.8
✓ Can’t actually compress my videosThis looked like a great app, but I tried compressing several videos for an important data collection project, and despite adjusting what they recommended or lower (at one point trying 65% and 25 speed), it always came back saying it couldn’t make my large videos — to large to even Airdrop to my computer — into anything smaller. It was just totally useless for me and I’ve already deleted it..Version: 1.4
✓ Not goodI can’t even get the program to work it keeps going round in circles..Version: 2.5
✓ Doesn’t WorkI’ve spent 30 mins trying to use it and it’s not very simple. Can’t upload more than 1 vid and size reduction isn’t much. I’m sure they’ll be a developer reply asking me to reach out for support but on the fly there’s nothing intuitive about it unfortunately..Version: 2.8
✓ Video did not CompressI tried compressing a 4GB video but it constantly told me, no matter the compressing setting I chose, that it could not compress,.Version: 2.9
✓ Very bad compression of Insta360 videosI wanted to use this app to compress video files exported from the Insta360 app(because the video files it produces are huge, even for 1920x1080 video). However the files generated by this app were very blocky and looked really, really bad. Maybe this app works very well with native video (recorded with the iPhone camera) but for my purposes it was a huge disappointment and deleted it pretty quickly after a few tries..Version: 2.1
✓ Good but tediousOk, let me preface this with, this is an amazing app! It’s interface is incredibly simple and I love it! However I can’t select how much I want to compress it! I really need this because I am impatient and need them under 8mb for discord. Everything else is perfect!.Version: 2.3
✓ Can’t find HVEC videosApp claims to support HVEC videos yet can’t seem to find my a HVEC videos when selecting a video..Version: 2.7
✓ Terrible appCovered with ads, terrible compression times. This is the sort of thing that you can get open source for free on a pc with so many more features, and then they’ve just packaged it into a mobile app and filled it with ads and premium only features..Version: 2.8
✓ Doesn’t workOnly accesses photo roll not file system. Offers an iPad app but only works in portrait mode. Just terrible.Version: 1.3
✓ Usual con for “free” appsPulls one of the lowest tricks I’ve seen: Brings up an ad for an Instagram thing (at a cost), with “later” as the clear selection for anyone not interested. But “later” actually opens the website they want you to go to, which they’ve actually CALLED “later” (dot com)! You can X-out rather than choose “later,” but it’s a faint little “x” in the upper LEFT corner. Also you can only select videos from the Photos app not from a folder. And there’s no explanation about set-up or where videos go..Version: 2.8
✓ Rubbish appUnlike the photo compress app, which I gave 5 stars, the “free” video compress app is not free at all. Once you select a video to compress, it forces users to sign up a paid subscription. Downloaded and deleted!.Version: 2.7
✓ CANNOT CHOOSE PHOTOYou cannot even get to the photo. There’s no way to choose the photo. The only choice is a non existent folder and no way/no instructions on what to do..Version: 2.7
✓ Not working on iPhone 15I tried this app with an iPhone 15 pro. I can slide the frame rate left and right, but cannot scroll to any other options. The window to start compression is over top and will not allow access to other options. Even changing frame rate from 30 to 5 does nothing to change the file size and the app suggest making changes that are not accessible due to the scrolling glitch. Needs work..Version: 2.8
✓ CrashingI have a Iphone6+ every time I open the app and i choose a video it crashes continuously what’s gone wrong here?.Version: 2.1
✓ Can’t access the dimensions boxI can only edit the frame rate details as the video dimensions are hidden behind part of the screen and are completely inaccessible..Version: 2.8
✓ Waste of timeWon’t allow you to compress any video because of the pop-ups/ adverts. Don’t download. Waste of time.Version: 1.3
✓ Not sure yet 11/4/2020Will come back if works OR not 😜.Version: 1.3
✓ UselessDoesn't say what the probable size will be, can't make a short preview clip, doesn't say how long it will take, doesn't say what codec will be used, doesn't mention bittates....... it just an expensive video resizer whoch many others do for free!.Version: 2.9
✓ ⚠️ Crap APP - Scam Alert ⚠️This video compression APP demand that the user provide complete bank card information. In a large banner across the top of the screen is a message “WE WILL NOT CHARGE YOUR CARD” “ … we need this information to determine geographic and location data …” This Video Compression APP immediately charge my bank card for $1.00 (USD) AND I received a “Fraud Alert” from my bank that this vendor is charging people for iPhone, iOS game applications and numerous complaints are being filed against this APP developer. Not that this matters anymore, the default compression settings produced a terrible highly distorted compressed video resulted where the viewer is presented highly pixilated video with medium to large random blocks and colors. I have screen shots and will contact Apple Security..Version: 2.1
✓ Not sorted by sizeVideos are not sorted by size, so its hard to know which videos are the occupying most space. Please add this feature..Version: 2.7
✓ Not user friendly at all and poor qualityAside from being difficult to use, this app doesn’t show the videos you just compressed. Where are they stored? You get what you pay for. Not worth the $3.99 CDN. Lastly, it’s impossible to cancel the subscription. Stay away from this app..Version: 2.9
✓ Stores HEVC files as h264Speaks for itself. Absolutely mind boggling that a compressor would take a high efficiency format and store it in a worse one. No apparent settings to control this.Version: 2.8
✓ Decoy. Ultra intrusive and missing ads that look like scams.Immediately upon trying to use the free version, full screen ads pop up without warning that use aggressive language about security, etc just like most scams, and you're presented with an "Open" and "Close" button which i suspect can be closed to continue using the app, but the ad is so incredibly suspicious and looks like phishing that I'm not even willing to interact with it. It's not presented in an honest fashion. I'll never know if the pro version is any good because if i can't use the free one without suspicious ads that use classic scam techniques, I'm sure notifications going to offer money..Version: 2.8
✓ Ads are annoyingAds are annoying.Version: 2.7
✓ Decoy appThis app intentionally makes the controls hard to find and detours you away from what you want and to account opening or junk ware download sites. After finally getting to what I thought was a compression tool, it just told me it wasn’t able to compress my iPhone video any more than it was. Do not download this. Waste of time and potentially dangerous because of the constant diversion to an unrequested website of questionable intent..Version: 2.7
✓ Average trialDoesn’t give you enough chances to try it out on the free version and full of ads.Version: 2.5
✓ WWorst app.Version: 1.3
✓ Waste of timeTried it on several videos. Each time it looks like it’s compressing but in the end comes back with a message that the video could not be compressed, try reducing the size or frame rate..Version: 1.4
✓ ReviewTrick. Doesn’t work unless you buy it for 11.99.Version: 2.7
✓ DisappointedIPhone video type not supported!.Version: 2.5
✓ Didn’t work for meI got the same error about it not being able to compress beyond the original file. I tried following the help file and no luck. The help file said to then use a video directly from my iPhone and that would prove the app is working, but I already had been using a video from my phone.I tested it with four different files and with about 10 different settings. For me it worked only if the video was less than five minutes long. But for longer videos nothing would allow it to work..Version: 1.4
✓ Poor communicationI’m wasting time even having to do this, but I am having great difficulties navigating this app. The trouble shooting advise is minimal and ineffective. I paid for an upgrade to Pro which was a total waste of money! I can’t even send this review because all nicknames I select are taken..Version: 1.4
✓ SPAMI tried to register for this app and it signed me up for porn. It also took money when it said that it was free..Version: 2.8
✓ Adverts are making this app uselessUsed to be good but adverts are very annoying and slows up the whole process. Wouldn’t recommend.Version: 2.8
✓ Waste of timeI purchased the pro upgrade then it wouldn’t work at all. The free version was ok and worked fine..Version: 2.8
✓ Works, ads are super intrusiveThe app worked for me to reduce a video so no complaints there. The ads were super intrusive, full screen pop ups after what seemed like every click. One was in Japanese so I couldn’t even tell which button was close and which was visit the advertiser. I get and accept that ads are the price for free apps, but this one was over the top!.Version: 2.9
✓ After waiting ages, then decides to tell you it can’t compress it what a waste of time!After waiting ages, then decides to tell you it can’t compress it what a waste of time!.Version: 1.3
✓ Scam. Phishing attackEither this app is a complete scam, or the ad serving library they use is a complete scam. I was redirected to an online registration site multiple times that was clearly fake. Ads at the bottom of the app. Page are deceptive and clearly fake. I uninstalled this app and would never use it again. Strongly recommend you avoid this app..Version: 2.8
✓ I give up5 times i have compressed the video which is nowhere to be found. It is not in my photos as the help tells you, it is not in the Compress Folder that is always empty, it is not in the Compress App since you cannot navigate inside the program to search. Piece of doodoo. I paid plus and would like my money back.Version: 2.7
✓ Awful didn’t do anything.The video was still too big and couldn’t be sent..Version: 2.9
✓ Waste of money do not buyThis app failed to reduce the size of video without loss to video quality. Very poor and fraudulent of the developers to take money knowing their app does not work. Shameful!.Version: 1.4
