Poorly designed UI makes using this app a frustrating experience
BoredMeteor
It will do what you need to but it will take time to get used to the workflow which is awkwardly set up. The design of the app in general is pretty awful, with menus working very differently from what iOS users are used to. After years of using it and not seeing any improvement, I have to say I regret buying this app. It needs a complete overhaul.
Decent little App

The program works as advertised. I use it at home. I have no experience with big commercial programs or very large files. But for home use it has worked great.
Useless
irritatedindianagirl
It kept saying it had successfully saved my unzipped file to my files and never did. Total waste of five dollars. I was trying to view an important document and it never let me.
Great app

The only thing I wish that would be added is renaming feature that would make it a lot easier for what I do :)
Don’t Buy
Homeschooling Mother
I can’t Delete anything after only 2 weeks it just stopped working it’s just like the free version I deleted when I bought this weeks ago.
Not Happy
Luv_fishin
I purchased this app for one reason and that was to unzip SVG files. Don’t waste your time and money if that’s what you are wanting to do. It doesn’t unzip or open SVG files. ?
Doesn’t download graphics and hard to use

Don’t get this app. It really doesn’t work well and it’s not intuitive to use. Waste of money:
Sense of Security
JGarr16
The WinZip app has done great by me. It is the only way I’ve found to encrypt and decrypt zipped files in iOS, which gives me a sense of security when transferring data that I don’t want out there on the wire in plain text. I used the trial version to see how it fit my workflows before I decided to pay for it - great way to NOT end writing about how you lost your money... (I wish Vegas worked the same way!)
