2024-09-30 | Floriand EL | This app is very useful and works properly. I recommend it to all those wishing to compress their videos as the video quality is still good even after compression. | |
2024-09-16 | A Google user | Update: Since 4.0.0.0 version, the rate of compression notably decreased. Now the expected size of file that appears before compression it is not accurate, and the final file is bigger, around 30% more. I hope can fix that soon, thank you | |
2024-08-19 | Ethan Jorgensen | Update: Either they changed it, or I misunderstood but... It is free to use ONLY to convert low quality videos. When I try to compress HD videos I'm given the option for purchasing the Pro version. But to compress lower quality videos is free. Bait and switch. This app is no longer free. It used to be free and awesome. But it seems that with a recent update, you can't use ANY function without getting the "3 day free trial" which requires a credit card to begin. 🧐 Uninstalling and moving on. | |
2024-04-27 | Michael Car**** | Um, I guess it kind of worked, in a very loose translation of the word, "worked," but about a week later, when I saw that it had an update in the Google Play Store, I did run the update. However, after I updated it, everything from the app's title to everything within it was in (I think) Chinese, but whether Mandarin or Cantonese, I would not be able to tell. But I couldn't figure it out so I uninstalled it. | |
2022-05-17 | C Sullivan | Used to be great. Now there are an obscene amount of ads up to 30 seconds long; you'll think you're in the app but then realize it's yet another ad; and then you'll have no choice but to watch more ads before being allowed to do file compression. And when all the madness is done and you think you were finally successful, the compressed video won't even work. It's a shame someone ruined a once great app. | |
2021-11-15 | Kevin Orosa | Extremely useful! As part of my job I needed to take videos and send them as attachments in emails. They do not accept links to third party sites such as YouTube or file sharing sites and it cannot be over 20MB. This app allows me to shrink videos down by up to 95% with only one step down in resolution and no other loss in quality! Only complaint is there are pop-up ads EVERYWHERE, but I'll deal with it because I haven't found any other app that can convert a 200Mb video to 20mb | |
2021-09-30 | Daniel Langston (DaOneEyedBear) | I was loving this for several months honestly, but now I'm getting 3 ads every time I open it, just saw 8 just trying to get my video compressed from the gallery, it failed to take me to compress the video after 2 ads, the app just crashed. Then opening it through the app drawer it shows me 3 ads, for the same video because I don't have your premium. This is a desperate move on your part, I absolutely hate it. | |
2021-05-12 | Ana Voorhees | I love this app. I have saved so much space from this app. Keep up the great work. Ads I don't mind because it pays you. I only see box ads so nothing overwhelming :) 5/11/21 - Still using this app. It really helps being able to send videos through emails or upload to Amazon for reviews. But what happened to the option to delete the original after the new compressed was created? I miss this feature.... | |
2020-12-01 | Ibi Hart | This app has never let me down. Just really efficient. Recommend. 11/30/20 update - The app no longer allows me to compress my videos unless I sign up for a free trial and then after 3 days, the vip experience which I am supposed to be reminded about before I am charged. Don't like this at all. I do not compress enough videos to do any of that. They just lost me. | |
2020-11-05 | Cassandra Benito | Says it's free, but it's only for a 3-day trial period after it's $69.99/year. It doesn't work well, took all night to compress a 5min mp4. Tried to compress a 4min mp4 after that and it froze several times without notification. Deleted the app after 2 days so I wouldn't get charged $70. Downloaded another app that worked very quickly (lots of ads but since it worked so fast, I could deal with the closing out of an ad or 2 for each video to be compressed) |
