This application only resizes images that are jpeg formatted. Any option selected within the application one is prompted immediately to purchase the full version at $4.99. This is rude, and abrupt to the user's experience. One is only to use the most recent 50 pictures in one's photo library. The application looks at the dates to verify the recent 50 pictures validity. One can deviate from this inconvenience by taking a screenshot of the picture in question. I was not able to find any settings to edit my picture format on my iPhone 7 Plus. Thus, making the application appear, at the least, not iPhone 7 Plus friendly. I am not aware if changing the photo format is possible on the iPhone 7 Plus. It is horrible, that the application is not equipped with the ability to change the photo format. It's is an inconvenience, and possibly a feature they must only offer in the full version. It's in short a consumerist ploy to take people's money.

I downloaded the app on iOS 10 and it didn't work. I created a new album but it was named U instead of the name I chose. I selected the 7 most recent screen shots to compress but when the app finished working the folder was still empty. Sure showed me a lot of ads though. Added: The developer sent me a nice note pointing out that buried at the bottom of the description it mentions that this tool is only designed to work on jpeg photos and not PNG, which is the format the iPhone takes screen shots in. He suggested that I try compressing photos. Well, I downloaded this app specifically to compress screen shots; if I want to manipulate photos in more detail I upload them to my Mac. I simply have no use for this app as it was designed, and had already deleted it from my device. Still, I upgraded my rating from one star to two. Still no explanation for the album naming bug, after all.

This is a lame app. After downloading it because it was recommended by Apple, it doesn’t list the photos in my photo album in order. The one I needed was the last one saved and it’s nowhere to be found on this app. So I choose another identical one, but then this app flags it and says that because it’s not in the first 50 photos, I’ll have to pay to upload it onto this app. THUMBS DOWN. I will now delete this app and find another alternative to reduce the file size of another picture without all this unnecessary jumping through hoops fanfare.

If you select a photo that isn’t already downloaded to your device locally, it just locks up. Had to go to the Photos app first, make sure it was downloaded, and then it worked as expected. Big bummer considering the app has the ability to trigger the download, show it’s status as downloading, then continue onto compression. If you fix that, 5 stars. App does what it says it will do.
