The Video Converter

I would just like to say; this was the fastest and easiest conversion app I’ve used in YEARS. The file itself was a bit large so I did have to compress the file to a ZIP before sending it to the necessary party. Once sent, it was uncompressed and attached to FB. It was clear and there were no corruptions to the file which I was terrified about due to the file being so large. Keeping my subscription for a week so I can at least pay the 2.99$. Thank you so much for the easy peasy experience!!! Y’all are life savers 🥰💖✨

This app is garbage, don’t download it, don’t bother. It works off uploading your videos and converting them in a server -patently insecure- before downloading them back onto your device. Not only does that take a century, it also uses up a massive amount of data since you’re uploading your file and downloading your file, the travel of which seems entirely unencrypted. It doesn’t matter that they say they delete the file off their server once they get it back to you- who’s to know if that’s the truth? Anyway, I tried this ridiculous upload/download process four times over the course of a day not back to back, and it failed to do anything each and every time. The app would just stop working, returning to its main screen after I began to upload the video which it failed to complete three times, it /eventually/ managed to get the video uploaded only once. Don’t waste your time, or your money. It’s good that they had a trial period so I expect my piddly 2.99 back, but I still wonder if this isn’t just a front app to steal videos. This might be Apple but bad apps proliferate anywhere, just ask Ars Technica.

This app has been extremely frustrating. In theory you are supposed to be able to leave the app and then get a notification when it’s done-no such thing. It takes forever to convert, and when it’s “done” it takes me to the home screen & there’s no final product (I’ve tried watching my screen, staying on the app the whole time & it freezes, never to finish). I’ve tried uploading files from my photos on my phone, my files, & from online. I’ve renamed docs & been in touch with their customer support. They’ve been friendly in suggesting trouble-shooting ideas, but none of it has worked. The only reason it has 2 stars (not one) is because I do have 2 successfully converted files (albeit after days with many attempts). At this point I’m considering this app a sunk cost & am looking for a new one.
