Photo Compress - Shrink Pics Hack 2.3.3 + Redeem Codes

I wanted to reduce the file size of certain images to make them easier to share, but without degrading them excessively. This app made that one act quite easy, which is all I wanted. You have the ability to preview different values for image size and quality so you can achieve mild or major reductions if you want to.

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.

Amazing quality for the small file sizes it produces. I’ve tried dozens of these compression apps and this does the best. Only suggestion would be to add the ability to have an Apple Shortcut so can compress photos within the camera roll with one tap to a preset size/quality. I’d definitely pay for this feature.

If you’re looking to reduce the size or the image quality this application make things quite easy. Do you have the option of either reducing the image quality or the image size. You’ll appreciate the options to select either or

Its an ok app.. it does what it says… but to remove ads for $3 for something an online website can do better then this can?…. First when you use this app it can only do one thing.. and tht one thing not so good… i shrinks your images.. *BUT* if they are background-less it adds a white background….. then shows u ads every time you convert a photo
Where as sites like optimizilla will let you batch convert your images while preserving the background-less images.. ^^” my review will stay a 1* unless these things change…..

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.

This is nothing but an AD MACHIINE. Building revenues off of the data leached from logging app usage and god knows what else. They claim it’s to fix bugs; that’s funny, I usually submit bug reports manually to devs unless the app is ghosted by an automated logger. Im almost compelled to re-download this fraud of an app just so I can view exactly the shenanigans going on through Console.

Guys, don’t be fooled by this BS. Use at your own risk. This isn’t an app for the good of the users, it’s for the revenue and data commerce.

I downloaded this, and paid the $4.whatever right away to access an older than 50 days photo. The photo said it compressed, and I selected to save it to my Dropbox. But it was nowhere to be found.

The pictures loaded really slowly. I thought it was my phone, so I deleted over 600 photos that were already in my computer, hoping that would speed up the apps ability to access my pictures. It didn't.

Today I tried compressing a new photo. It wouldn't even Preview, and could t tell me the estimated size.

Additionally, it's a real bummer that after you spend the simple $4, you need to pay $2.99 extra to turn off the ads. Which are really aggressive, btw, not just ones that run along the bottom.
