Video Slimmer App

This is an excellent app. It does what it says it will do. It does it well, it does it fast. It is very easy to use. One thing: you should be able to email the slimmed video from within the app. But you cannot. You must save it, then go into your camera roll, then grab it, then email it. Regardless, this is a near perfect app.

When this app works it is fit for purpose - I gain good compression and it pops the new compressed file straight into my camera roll - I then delete the original to keep my storage down. The frustration is with the reliability and lack of service/ support. On most occasions I will take a video on my IPhone 7 and then open the Videoslimmer app to compress it. The majority of the time it doesn’t see the video and therefore it can’t be selected. Other times it might see two videos in my camera roll from months ago, and none of the more recent ones. A total lottery. I have contacted support several times to find out why the app does not see the videos or allow me to select them for compression....never had a single response so I no longer try. I am now about to download a different app to do this function.

I'm not sure why this app is getting glaring good reviews unless the current version is buggy on my iPhone 7p. Video shrink should transcode the video at lower resolutions and lower bitrates but in my testing I'm only getting 2%-7% smaller video on average! This is taking a 720p video and choosing all the lowest quality options. There is no net benefit. The transcoding engine flys through all my videos in seconds and (for example) a 56mb video shrinks to 54mb. That's choosing the lowest quality which is allegedly a 40% shrink. So the video should be ~18mb or round about. I am almost wondering if this is a transcoder bug. Although I did get one of my slow motion videos to transcode (transcode is the technical term for what this app does) and it worked. This happened on one video and I have yet to be able to get it to work again! The video properly played back in slow mo and was much much smaller. Maybe this is just buggy I don't know it's very odd how it takes only 3 seconds to convert a 2 min regular video (this is way way way too fast) albeit it's practically the same file size... I'll reinstall maybe something went wrong. Better off just pulling the video off your phone and using HandBrake on Win/Mac

I’ve been here since the start ... on Day 1 of the release of iPhone 1 - I got there early and waited for this new place called An Apple Store to open. When it did open, I walked in there knowing exactly what I was doing; because I do my homework. The reason I’m holding an iPhone 8 Plus over TEN YEARS LATER however, is because (no matter how many times I’ve wanted to scream at the decisions they make) I’m a fiercely loyal customer who knows it’s best to stick with a winner. And As Far As Apps Which Slim Videos Go, This App Is A Slam Dunk Winner! • It Has Never Crashed in Over Five Years Use • It’s Handled Every Video I’ve Thrown At It • You Can Customize The % Of Size Reduction • You Can Customize The Video Dimensions • It’s Fast, It's UI Is Perfect And It’s A Beast! Highest Recommendation!!

When you try to find the most recent video is is hidden in the middle if all your videos - you would think most recent would be at the top. Camera Roll isn't even at the too, you have to scroll down past all your albums even online albums to find it. Best feature is the rotate video for dorks who film holding the camera vertical. Please fix media selector.
