Useless
Flowerlark
Saving a zipped file on a ipad/ iphone sends the file directly to either files or dropbox. You can't open files from either of those locations without a subscription. Unbelievably greedy! As if I'm going to sign up for a subscription before I can even test the app! Companies are trying to bleed us dry by locking even the most basic functions behind subscriptions you have to pay continuously! Remember when you only had to buy something once and could use it as much as you liked?
Cost claim in writeup is a bait an switch.
Seventh fret
Now this company changed the GUI. Their description states the full version is $5.00; that is not true. It is now a subscription fee of $10.00 per year. Remember the days when you purchased something it was yours to use in perpetuity. The best iOS apps are still that way. I do not recommend this company. There are other zip apps with excellent customer reviews, on-time reasonable purchase cost, and no hidden fees.
Why can’t I choose a whole folder?
Alex Alexzander
Why do I have to choose one file at a time. I want to select an entire folder. Unbelievable waste of time. You app doesn’t work with drag and drop. It doesn’t even support split screen. You have to add one file at a time, rather than a folder. Send to doesn’t support apps like file mail. Just who is this for exactly, because your app is the worst thing I have ever seen. Do you know how to write an app or what??
Zip file free version
Stressedcfc
Worked fine for what I needed and was able to unzip the file and save on my phone. The app worked as intended.
Useless for zip files on iPhone
TR-Ada
You made an app thats supposed to open .zip files and...it’s not opening anything i save on my iPhone. Some of us don’t have the luxury of having a laptop computer to download and view .zip files. Im always on the go, man!
Solo descomprime
Gatina555
Solo puedes descomprimir en la versión free trial, hay otras app que permiten algo más al menos. Decepcionante.
Does not work
usingCigna
I tried it on an iPad running iOS 13. It could not find let alone open any zipped files in the iPad Files. There are no missing privileges errors, so this appears to be an application problem. Useless. Too bad 7-zip is not available on iOS.
