Media Converter - video to mp3 Reviews

by Mostly Satisfied!

I just purchased MediaConverter and it is crashing and not converting my movie. I upload the movie then selected convert and chose the mp4 option. Soon as I hit the “convert” button I get a message to keep MediaConverter open in the foreground but then MediaConverter immediately closes. Once I re open MediaConverter the mp4 file is sitting there in the que as if it worked but the file is empty. If I select the mp4 file in the que and hit the “play” option I get a black blank screen and if I try to share it i get an error message. I purchased MediaConverter after attempting two or three times and thinking maybe I needed the pro version for it to work properly. I figured the ratings for MediaConverter were so high that it was probably a good tool to have for the price. Now I’m just disappointed.

Followed instructions but it doesnt work. Selected video file to convert as instructed but the option to convert then does not appear. Another area of app said to first select what format you want to convert to but there is nowhere on app I could find to do that. Yet another area of app says select file to convert then hit share and select Media Converter but Media Converter does not pop up as option even though I authorized it for selected files in settings. Various messages would pop up with terminology I didn’t understand. A big fat dud. I deleted it.

Update:Still the best app, last update had glitch and I emailed about it and it was fixed the next day! So now I can add awesome customer support to the below review ;)

IMPORTANT SUGGESTION: Please add ability to select exact seconds to cut video by, the slider is fine for short videos, but long ones only let you stop at certain points, usually by the min, not second, and even that takes forevor to get it to "land" on the closest spot, I have had to do entire process multiple times just to get close and that takes hours with long ones. Please add this!

Prior review:
Been trying to find app like this for awhile, and this one finally did what said, simple, fast, easy, and can select length of audio (I like to take a meditation music track and cut 10 min from to make a loop for background use while meditating)
And its completley free, you only pay to remove adds (wich is worth it) but you can use it for free.
Thankyou for this! Please dont ever take it away id be lost!

Everything works great, and I get that you need ads, but can you pls move the “X” to close out of the ads to someplace where it’s accessible on all phones? It falls right in the top corner of the iPhone screen and is half cut off, so there is no way to get out of the ad. This is a huge frustration and waste of time in an otherwise excellent app.

Wish it didn’t take so long, I’ve converted three videos from .vid to mp4 and I like that it allows me to watch my multiple devices onto my iPhone. Took better than an hour and a half to convert a 4 min video, so that’s the only thing I’ve found so far I didn’t like. Had app for three days and they ask me to rate. Other than that, so far so good. And adds, but it’s expected in free apps, gotta pay the bills.

I do lots of video editing and save many things t my hen and this thin is extremely useful for chopping those imovie files into 1/16 size. It also has wi if transferring which allows you to easily move files to and from your computer. Also acts as a great file storage incase iphones file explorer is not an option. Also very easy to use and it can run videos/music in the background. It also can handle any file format you use.
ALSO ITS FREE!!!!! (unless you want no ads)

The only bad things are that the max resolution is somewhere around 900px which is only a problem for larger displays really and it cannot handle loud sounds.

All of the other video to audio converters are crap. This one does what you want to, and it doesn’t keep telling you to buy the premium version so that you can convert the files that you need to. It’s also a safe storage thing, so I guess if you want to keep your files away from prying eyes, this works for that as well.

I Dj a lot and so i record all my sets from my ipad’s screen recorder. I was looking all over MediaConverter Store for a good converter and compressor. MediaConverter is so so simple that it saved a lot of time and it’s only a one time fee of $1.99 for extra features.

by Shutup647264

Your app is great, it has allowed me to convert audios into files so I can cover songs, but the ads I get on MediaConverter hide the x button in places where it legitimately makes it so that you can’t exit out of them. I’m pretty sure that’s not allowed? And before you ask if im just over exaggerating, they have hidden the x button ABOVE my battery percentage and almost out of view. I have to exit MediaConverter every time because it’s impossible to leave the ads. I don’t believe this is your fault! Though it needs to be fixed with whoever is advertising on your app :)

by RealAphrodite

I had gone through a lot of non-free apps to try and get the audio of a video I had. Finally, MediaConverter shows up and I can convert it hassle free and quickly. I was also able to airdrop right into the device and app I wanted it for. I’d give it more stars if I could. Anyway, no scam here. You looking for a legit free app to convert video to audio? This is MediaConverter mate. Thanks developers!

This is the only app that reads .mts avchd video files created by my sony camera. MediaConverter has a trial that lets you confirm it can read your movie files so you can test whether it really works. After trying a couple of apps that claim to convert but really can’t, I splurged an entire $2 on MediaConverter!

I bought this to convert videos to play on a 2020 iPad Pro. Have already converted a half dozen compressed videos to mp4 format, which play perfectly. When I established that it really did work, the only in-app purchase I made was 99 cents for ad removal. Totally recommend!

I literally never write reviews but I just HAVE to for MediaConverter. It is an absolute LIFESAVER! I needed to convert one of my iPad videos to an mp3 or m4a file and no apps would allow me to without needing to subscribe, which I can’t since I need parental approval and our family sharing thing isn’t working properly. But MediaConverter let me convert almost instantly, it worked, and it’s free! If you want to convert, this is MediaConverter you should download :)

Just bought and used, a fantastic experience. Converted using MediaConverter on iPad. Easy transfer to my PC. You get a URL to type in your PC browser and download, I converted 2 files and transferred, downloaded in less than 10 minutes. The compression feature works too but I wanted the highest quality so did not save compressed files; they were easy to delete.

I've been looking for media converter and it always fall to just a converter but not a reader at the same time! So what will happen is you'll go for a trial then they sack your money!!!!
But this!!!! This is freaking awesome!!! Just for $1.99 you'll have it for life!!! Well that is if the software don't change and nothing new will come out which is impossible but hey!!! This is the Ultimate for now !!! I've got Vintage format of video!!! But this is the Grail for sure!!!!!
Thanks a lot Builders!!!!!!

by Jackattack2000

I’ve been going through all the audio converting apps hoping to find one that isn’t some over priced subscription based plan. I finally found one and I am more than happy with it. This does everything all the other apps do and if anything it does it better. The best part is, the only in app purchase is a pro version and it’s $1.99. That’s it. As it should be. Thanks for the awesome converter and not being a typical greedy subscription app!

I get so tired of Apps saying they do this or that but fail to deliver. This is not one of those Apps. I’m pretty well versed in iPhone tech so what is easy for me may not be the case for whoever is reading this review but there a link to instructions under the settings menu of you need help. I bought all the premium features to support the Apps creators & because they honestly weren’t asking a ridiculous amount. All around everything I was looking for.

So far it’s read every format I’ve needed, output to mp4. It’s not super fast, but given the quality of compression, it still fast. File reduction anywhere from 1.5-12 times, massive space saver, especially for mov files.

The only weird thing is the commands are divided among two buttons, which is totally fine but not intuitive. Aside from that non-substantive criticism, I have none. My experience has led me to conclude that purchasing pro was a solid investment, good value, and supports a great product.

We sent our VHS tapes to iMemories to convert to digital. They did a good job but they came back to us in MP4 format which isn’t native for Apple devices. I wanted these videos to be accessible to all our iPads and iPhones. This $1.99 program made that all happen. At first I was frustrated that it looked like it was only a viewer, but after you import your MP4 file you touch the circled i which I think means information, but in this program it gives you the options to convert. It worked great! With all the videos we have this process is time consuming, but what’s time to a retired tech.

I use it often to save in various audio formats. However, it has started having issues playing all files in a folder. Sometimes it will play all. Other times it will just play the first one and stop or randomly stop at nth one!! You’ve to the press fwd & backwards to make it play, which is frustrating!!

by Drivenbyart

It was a breeze importing the mp4 file and converting to mp3. Then comes the trouble. Can’t export it from MediaConverter directly into my iPad Music App. The recording stays in MediaConverter unless you WiFi it to your PC, then pull into iTunes. From there you have to figure out the jigsaw puzzle that will allow your mp3 file to get into your Music App. Frustrating. The converted mp3 is still on my PC I’m iTunes waiting to find a way back to my iPad.

I downloaded MediaConverter and paid the $1.99 for the pro version, went to upload my first video and...nothing! It wouldn’t even open my photos folder to allow me to select a video to upload. I closed and restarted MediaConverter several times and still nothing. Highly disappointed in MediaConverter.

by Maniac0

Go straight to buying the Pro version! If you select it after buying a couple other features it does not give you credit for what you purchased. Likewise, after you bought everything, if you press any of the purchase able features, it appears to want to charge you again! Beware. No app warnings!

by Otrader

This is a great app to covert mp4 to mov format to be able to edit videos in iMovie. I’d give it 5 stars if it had some built in help and/or a progress bar indicator for conversion. It does a great job and allows amplification of audio channels!

by 707Drew

Only thing I would add is maybe a menu item providing info about different file extensions, which ones are supported and on which devices. Even if it was just a link to a reference page ie wiki or something

by XxLily~MoonxX

I like it both as a converter but also an app where I can listen to music offline. Wish there would be like a repeat button to repeat a song or lengthen the time of music

by GemX22

This converter is very good for converting audio, converted audio is very clean and smooth. When I open MediaConverter it tends to close 10-5 seconds later. Besides that, 4 stars.

by Stormyaqua

MediaConverter saved my life! I have a long interview that I had to complete for a class and it make quick work of the conversion process into the format I needed. All others took hours!

by Monkeyballs Eeek

My others converter app just stopped working for no reason but this one is better than most because it’s super fast and has hardly ever had a crash or a conversion issue

by Danielcarter8081

Great for converting my screen recordings to audio. Works as a music app as it automatically goes to the next song. However it doesn’t let you shuffle. It’s also good for coping the audio then pasting it into notes. 👍🏼

by Dan123txshgtuff

Too many ads with the free version and it works perfectly anyway

by BornpornNorn

I tried to export a video off my phone to my computer for hours and when I finally found out the issue and tried to convert it I had to go through multiple apps until I found one that was truly free and worked the first time thank god.

by Dellaneva

Love MediaConverter. Finally found one that works. If I may suggest one thing, add a status bar to the converting animation so we know how long it will take for our file to convert instead of staring at our screen until who knows when.
