Pretty useless imo. Better to use an online extractor. ### 1/5 — Unuseable without paying *2024-05-15* You can unzip files but can’t access them at all unless you pay for their subscription. The app shouldn’t be free if it’s completely useless until paying. ### 1/5 — Can’t do anything with the extracted files *2024-05-12, version 2.11* can’t open any of the files in the files app ### 1/5 — trying to scam me *2024-04-30* it tried taking 21.64 out 3 times and i never agreed to them taking that nor clicked on anything like that for them to try and take that money DO NOT TRUST THIS APP ### 1/5 — Trash *2024-04-21* Can’t do anything with the files after you extract them. ### 1/5 — Couldn’t transfer *2024-02-04* Couldn’t put file on to iPhone ### 1/5 — Paywall *2024-01-06, version 2.7* Basic features such as opening a csv are locked behind a paywall, instead of this having a free trial period would be a better option. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t use files without transferring off device *2026-02-21* I was impressed with UI and ease to unzip files, only to discover that they can only be unzipped into a folder only accessible within the app. You can’t access them through the Files app or in other apps. The transfer feature also only support cloud services, or WiFi (which is premium) - which renders the app useless. If I wanted the file off the device I would just unzip on my laptop 3x as fast. ### 1/5 — T *2026-02-06* Ty ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-01-16* To actually use, save, print or send, you will have to pay…. So, don’t bother ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-09-16* Let’s you convert the files but not do anything with them. You have to pay ### 1/5 — Spam calls *2025-05-25* They spam called me trying to buy premium. Do NOT recommend. Unless you want this company to harass you do not install this app! ### 1/5 — Sucks *2025-02-14* You can extract but you can’t move it outside the app like back into your files. Don’t bother ### 1/5 — Can’t export without purchase *2025-02-14* Not worth getting another app ### 1/5 — This is trash *2024-12-11* Why would you pay for a subscription for a file unzipping service that don’t even allow you to export ### 1/5 — terrible app, crashes without unzipping anything *2024-10-28* It can unzip the file fine but you can’t export anything outside the application even after buying the subscription, it crashes every time you try to save to photos or share. it’s junk. Apple - you are meant to be vetting these apps, do better ! ### 1/5 — Fraud *2024-10-15* I would definitely declare it as fraud. It was clearly stated that yearly subsciption can be cancelled at anytime. I purchased but found it totally useless, next day when I cancelled, I did not get any refund of my hardly earned money. This useless and co called VIP subsricption cost me £19.99 for a day. ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good took for iphone (surprisingly) *2025-11-06* good ios alternative to winRAR, no payment needed. Love it. ### 5/5 — I like this app *2025-01-10* It’s a really good app and you should download it ### 5/5 — Works as it should *2023-11-28* Works good **Developer response:** Thank you for your valuable feedback. I glad you like this app. ### 5/5 — very easy to open rar files *2023-11-13* just batch share to this app, all rar files are imported and extracted. easy and powerful. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review. I am glad you like this app. ### 3/5 — Not free *2023-12-15* It costs so no point, expensive too! Not even a trial or anything **Developer response:** Sorry for your inconvenience. The basic features are free. You only need to pay for the premium feature. ### 2/5 — Need premium *2024-08-12* Need premium to export files. Works if u pay though ### 2/5 — I guess it could be good. *2024-04-07* It lets you import files and extracts pretty quickly but once it’s on the app you can’t move the extracted files to anywhere on your phone unless you get the premium subscription. ### 2/5 — What is the point. *2024-02-24* What’s the point in unloading a .zip file if I need to pay to then use that zip in the other app, there was no point in me downloading this in the first place. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
