Contact Compress Photos Pictures Support

If I upload a photo it will let me pick the compression settings but then it will just sit at 0% and not do anything. Hitting the cancel button doesn’t do anything either. The only way to get back to the last screen is force close the app and try again. Tried 3 times in a row and didn’t work at all.

I recently shelled out for ad free, but feared this app was abandonware since there hadn't been any updates in a long time. So, I was glad to see the privacy update! That's great.

What's not so good: the app was already glitchy in occasionally stalling out midway through a multi-file compression, and now it does it a lot more. Fairly unreliable now.

Also, the interface still has all the same silly limitations. You can't control the percent of the reduction precisely, but only in 5% increments. Sometimes that's nice/fine, but sometimes it doesn't give you the size you want. Also, the whole interface is slow and laggy-- buttons appear, but they don't work for several seconds, so you just have to wait and keep retrying.

Finally, although it's a minor annoyance of bad design, the home screen has just one function: to let you tap to start. Yet you must tap on one very tiny button in the middle of the screen (the +), and the whole rest of the screen does nothing.

It minimally does what it says: compresses images and does a decent job. The images look good.

Here are the two things it should fix to be really good:
1. Redesign the app to process any number of pictures. I have an iPad Pro 12.9 that has plenty of memory and storage. There should be no reason why it can’t convert 60 pictures without crashing. I suspect it’s a poor design. It should at least offer this option: Rather than process everything in a batch and then commit it, save it as you go and then ask me at the end if i want to delete the originals. I’ve got plenty of space. If you’re failing because you’re running out of memory trying to cache all of this, you should be able to monitor memory and warn the user rather than crash.

2. You’re deleting my EXIF data - there’s no good reason when you’re compressing my files that you should be dumping my metadata. That’s a show-stopper for me. I’ll be seeking a refund for that one.
