### 1/5 — Pathetic app

*2025-11-23*

It has nothing. It does nothing! Feel bad for the one euro I spent on this scam

### 1/5 — Didn’t even zip my file

*2021-03-10*

“Zipped” file size was the same as the regular file size

### 1/5 — Waste

*2020-10-23*

Horrible app did not work

**Developer response:** Hello,
If you are experiencing problems with Zipped please send us an email, at support@eytan.co so we can get this sorted out.
Have a great day.

### 2/5 — Needs RAR support among others

*2020-07-03, version 1.3.1*

I think this is one of the cleanest iPadOS unarchiving apps available but it’s missing important features so I’m required to get a competing app

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your $

*2020-05-02*

I downloaded this app because I found a website that said you can use this app to zip files and then after I paid for it, it didn’t ever work! I want my money back, this app is crap!

**Developer response:** Hello,
If you are having trouble with Zipped, please send an email to support@eytan.co so we can sort it out for you, and any other users experiencing similar issues.

Thank you.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work.

*2020-02-04, version 1.3.1*

Downloaded it and go to zip the file and it won’t let me select anything. A waste of my money.

### 1/5 — Not user- friendly

*2020-02-02*

I thought this would be easy to use but I can’t figure out how to select photos from my iphone.  It only gives me the option of my icloud and the photos I want to send are not in icloud.

### 3/5 — A start

*2020-02-01*

First of all, let me thank this dev has he’s got more brains than anyone else making a zip app so far. That being said, this has a LONG way to go.

How about letting us pick zero compression. Often what I need is to wrap a large set of files into a zip wrapper so I can select and send one file. Almost every app that sends will not send a folder. I don’t so much want to compress as I really want to wrap it all up in a zip container. No need to waste time compressing. 

So first request, let us set the compression to zero, or normal, or whatever. I don’t care, as long as I can choose zero. 

A progress bar that lets me cancel would be great. So that I have an idea as to the time involved. 

You see we already have compression in the Files app. If all I wanted was simple compression. It would make way more sense to just use it files. It’s built right in. Your job, if you choose to accept it, is to give us what the Files app lacks.

**Developer response:** Hi Alex,
Thank you very much for your feedback. 
Adding zero compression is something we've been thinking about doing, in addition to many other features Files lacks. I think you'll appreciate what's on the way. Shoot an email to support@eytan.co as we'd love to discuss some with you.

### 2/5 — Taking forever

*2019-11-22*

I’ve been trying to unzip a folder containing a few PowerPoint slides for over ten minutes now.. It’s still just that spinning “loading/buffering” circle on my screen. How long is this supposed to take? I could have unzipped them on my computer by now. So far this is a waste of money.

### 1/5 — Only works with cloud storage

*2019-11-12, version 1.3.1*

I bought this app to zip file that are ON my iPad but there are no options to access and zip any files on the device only files on cloud storage.
