✓ Keep OriginalsIt needs an option to keep the original photo. The only way to do it is to disallow the app permission to delete photos when it tries, and then force close the app, so you can use it again later. Poor design. Why would you always want to delete the original? A common reason to resize photos would be to email them, or post them on a forum, but you would still want you original on your device. But this app doesn't give you that option, without hacking it as I described above. If that option existed within the app, it would have been a much better solution. Also needs an option on how much (size, percentage, etc.) that you want to reduce the originals by..BkviperlVersion: 1.1

✓ Not greatThere are no settings to lessen very harsh compression, which doesn't 'leave the images looking exactly the same' as it claims. Also, it forces you to delete the original image so you 'don't have duplicates!' As the App helpfully tells you in the warning dialogue. Due to this, you must duplicate the image first unless you want to be left with the App's awfully compressed image..Peggy NightVersion: 1.1

✓ Unable to contact developerApp hijacked and shrank all of my photos. App now crashes when opened..Bored1o9Version: 1.2.1

✓ How shrink old photos only big in iCloud?App has been great for years, but very old photos eventually reside as large files only in iCloud and PhotoShrinker shows zero file size. I know if you start to edit a photo it transfers to phone memory so it can then be shrunk, but this is time consuming. Question – what is a faster workaround?.Lour33Version: 1.2.1

✓ Worst update ever!!I've had this for awhile and I loved. It's very straight forward and easy to use. Ever since it's last update, I can't use the app because I have to share it on Facebook. This is a problem because I don't have Facebook and am not planning on making an account just for this app. This is a huge issue for people who don't have Facebook and it needs to be fixed!.MissmusicsinghVersion: 1.2.1

✓ App Needs Update.I’m a longtime (Pro) user. Within the last year, the app has been crashing consistently. I suspect it has something to do with Apple file permissions. The last update to this app was several years ago. In its current state, I would not recommend this app until it’s fixed..SlowpokezzzVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Would be great if it workedWorked the first time but crashes every time after that as soon as it starts trying to shrink and exits the app. Maybe not iOS 9.x compatible?.One reviewer IIVersion: 1.1

✓ Crashes constantly and leaves duplicates behind!It worked for the first few photos I tried and after that would crash constantly. Worse is that I now have all these duplicated files that I will need to go through and delete manually..Mitch Buchanan 3Version: 1.1

✓ Buggy photo shrinking appThis app did work, and it nicely displays the current file size of each photo... But it is the first buggy app I have downloaded in three years of happy iPad ownership. Locked it up, even the on/off switch wouldn't work. When you photo shrink a pic it also moves it to the most recent pic in your camera roll. Pics can not be sorted or repositioned in the camera roll only inside albums..Nightynite NVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Good butExcellent but does not keep original modified date so the order of photos in photos app changes. Other than that fantastic.Woodsey891Version: 1.0.1

✓ It didn't even show me the photo I want to shrink!ANNOYING.Jellyboo07Version: 1.1

✓ Useless app dont botherUseless app dont bother.Useless app dont botherVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Just what I needed, I thought!!Horrible support! I hope you never need help with this app!!!! ***Update:Here it is two weeks later, and Ive contacted support 3 times now to try and get the issue resolved however all of my requests have not been responded to and the issue has never been fixed. I hope they don't do this to customer who pay for their app! Now I will just have to find a different app that has better support if and when I need it!! Didn't realize that cropping my photos took up so much space. I'm glad This app was recommended so I can free up some storage. After trying this app I'm having a problem with the app crashing when clicking on "shrink photos". The app crashes and takes me back to my home screen every time. I just reported this to support and depending on whether I get a response back and if the issue is resolved or not will determine if I pay and upgrade or not.

✓ Works but far too simpleThis is great at making small photos and thankfully does keep the location and time data! However the compression is far too severe for some photos and there is absolutely no options for this. Provide this as well as a compressed photo preview (with zoom) and this will be a top 5 stars app that I would pay for..Mtj-93Version: 1.1

✓ Has slight bug.Well, I had in my first iPhone and it worked perfectly. But wasn't saved to iCloud and I got a new phone. Since I've re downloaded it I cannot shrink more than 2-4 photos at a time. It will say my photos are shrinking then flash out to the home screen of my iPhone. However it is efficient to the task of saving memory..Godiis26Version: 1.1

✓ Did what I wantedJust a tip, if you want to keep the original, make a copy and compress the copy. It will delete as soon as it compresses..ThefurrycrewVersion: 1.1

✓ App forcing me to rate but hasn't yet workedThe app has crashed twice when I pressed the button to shrink the photos. Then when reopening and trying a third time, it doesn't let me proceed without leaving a review. So this is it ... so far nothing positive I can say, sorry..KathedleyVersion: 1.1

✓ It okThe app is a good idea but it freezes and shuts down if I try to shrink more than 100 images..Kikipie123kikiVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Won’t let me shrink certain pictures.Requesting a refund. I had a few specific photos I needed to compress, and thought that perhaps a paid app would work (since free apps were having issues). Paid three bucks. This one allowed me to compress even fewer than any of the others. A total ripoff. Don’t buy..AurricVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Space freeShrank a bunch. Will see if quality remains.RudeBuoy66Version: 1.1

✓ Did workIt worked perfectly...5 stars...until the last update. Now it crashes sometimes and leaves me with duplicates I have to sort out. About to try something else as this is getting very frustrating..CapnleuxVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Worst app of all timeThe app no longer does what it's suppose to. It's takes forever and then it crashes after the update.Ericsurf4Version: 1.2.1

✓ Doesn’t workIt worked for a few photos but then stopped working, says photos are shrunk when they’re not. Tried to delete and download again, still doesn’t work. Waste of money..NeededanicknamethatwasnttakenVersion: 1.2.1

✓ FineHave to write a review to shrink more than 50. Only a handful to shrink but it shrank pics I didn't select first time round so starting again.Underduressandnotalone89Version: 1.1

✓ Crashes oftenI use better: photo cleaner by jinpyo yong.Terno15Version: 1.1

✓ Don't buy the paid version!The free version works well enough, if you don't mind limited selection and annoying ads. Because I had thousands of photos to resize, the app convinced me to shell out three dollars for the ability to resize up to 1000 photos at once. However, it crashes literally every single time when I try to resize large number of photos. Every time. Waste of three dollars, and a well-deserved one star rating..Spectacled EiderVersion: 1.0.1

✓ I can make low-res JPEGs without an appYes this app does its job: shrink photos. The quality of the image it shrunk a panorama to was piss poor. I could have done the job myself in MS Paint if that was what I was after. I don't know what the 2nd star is for; I just feel bad about giving single stars and I've never given one. Really doesn't deserve the 2nd from that experience..Sidney936Version: 1.1

✓ Good appPros: lets you shrink photos, and delete the original full size photos afterward. Cons: only lets you shrink 50 at a time.CoolUnicorn666Version: 1.2.1

✓ It stopped working April 2024It simply doesn’t work anymore. It was previously a great tool. I tried deleting it from my iPhone and then re-downloading again. No luck. I hope it gets fixed..Everett1008Version: 1.2.1
