Huge inconvenience! I wish I never had this app! – Zip Viewer - Unzip and Archive Review

I’ve been using this app to unzip my files for a long time now. It does unzip them, but it is super inconvenient. I have ended up with quite a few zip files that I would like to save into my cloud account to clear the space on my phone and there isn’t a way to even select a zip file and move it at once, you must choose each FILE individually to move to the cloud! You apparently can move them faster if you connect to a computer and iTunes, but I’ve been a wireless user for such a long time.. who connects to iTunes with a cable anymore? I know I haven’t in years. So I’ve got so many files that are bogging down my phone and I have to either find them and re-download them (which isn’t even possible for many of them as they were limited time downloads and I cannot locate them) or I have to move them one file at a time, and some of these zip files have hundreds of individual files in them. I have since found another unzip app that I use and I’m able to select the actual zip file - AND more than one at a time and click “share” and move them to my cloud drive. It’s really unfortunate that I can’t do that with this app because it’s now taking up more room than any other app on my phone and I have to decide whether to just forget about the files there or move each file individually which would take me forever! I have spent the past two days trying to get this done. No, I’m not being stubborn about the computer, I don’t have access to one at this time. I would go on and do it that way if I did. It’s just become such a headache and I really do wish I’d never gotten this app. I have never written a negative or low star review, but I’m hoping that this will help someone else and save them time. I’m not going to mention the name of the app that DOES allow you to move multiple zip files at once, but they have a free version as well, so please spend a few minutes and try other unzip apps before you download a bunch of apps or buy a pro version! If, by chance, you don’t care about saving the files for later use and just want to unzip, this will do the job. While all free versions I’ve tried do have ads, this one pops up an add every time you move a file, so it is quite time consuming, while the other app I am now using only pops up with after a few times of moving an individual file to another app or location. You’ll be glad you took the time to check out others because it will save you loads of time. I wish I’d known this before I began using it. I’m very happy with the other app I have been using and I bought the pro version of it. I hope the developer of this app will make this option available, but I don’t anticipate that they will. It took over a month for me to get them to answer and tell me how to move the files. I hope this review will save someone else the time and grief that I’ve been dealing with because of this app!
