Bad app
Requires a paid subscription in order to actually unzip any files. Don’t bother with this one.
Nothing like the old Windows WinZip
I downloaded this product with the intent of password protecting documents for distribution. This WinZip for IOS is feeble to say the least. The final straw for me was the error when attempting to open the encrypted file: “The operation couldn’t be completed. Inappropriate file type of format.
I was able top cancel this subscription before incurring any charges. The old Windows version that word was free.

Doesn’t unzip files
I can’t unzip any files, it requires a subscription.
Wicked awful with iOS
Restarts at random. Some files can be opened in the zip, some not. Interface for iOS makes adding files to include in the zip tedious. Wanted to try using the interface on my mac but cannot move the subscription. Cancelled, uninstall. Do not try again.
Scam Winzip Download
I have purchased more than one subscription to this app over the past 10 years, but I want to put it out there that this is the worst experience I have ever had with a software package. It was on my phone for approximately 10minutesand I was forced to uninstall it! Please make sure that you unsubscribe me from that product.

Don’t Waste Your Time
This app is sooo inept and ineffective that you can’t navigate to files you’ve downloaded.
Freezes, asks for too many permissions up front
Even though it’s 2023 and everyone uses zip now, someone gave me a .7z file, so I thought I’d try this to extract it. “Extract” immediately froze the app. “Extract to here” gave me a loading bar that was stuck at zero and the app still froze when I tried to cancel it several minutes later.
It also asked for full access to my photos, videos, and media the moment I opened the app. I get that it can be used to archive those things, but maybe wait until I go to do that before trying to access them? The fact that it tried to access them immediately is extremely questionable.

WinZip has been around since literally right before Windows 95
They have always been there for me and is a very easy program to operate
What’s the Point?
Apple has well and truly messed up with In-App purchases. If I have a windows or Mac I can buy the product and own it out right. Here I’ve got to rent it forever. And honestly it doesn’t matter how many pence it is daily, the principle should be the ability to own utilities. Therefore this has been removed. I hope software houses reconsider this entire approach.
