### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-04-07, version 1.0*

Can’t connect to Google drive!  It says 
Error 401: deleted_client
The OAuth client was deleted.
Any help would be nice!
Will change review if help

### 1/5 — Does NOT extract .gz files!

*2019-07-08, version 1.0*

I purchased this solely to extract a .gz file, which this app claims to do. 

However, the app says that file type is unsupported.

Wasted my money because of this developers lie.

### 1/5 — Absolute con!

*2019-05-09*

There is no clear way to unzip folders, and no helpful guidance. Complete rip-off...AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

### 1/5 — Slowing down my iPad Pro

*2019-03-26, version 1.0*

This app running super slow on my iPad Pro needs to be updated won’t even open HTML files. Will not extract any files, This is a rip off.

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2019-02-14, version 1.0*

I use this program on my iPad and I appreciate how well it works. Easy to use. Reliable.

### 1/5 — “File type not supported” error on .gz file.

*2018-06-09, version 1.0*

The first sentence of the app description clearly states that .gz files are supported, but when I try to extract such a file I get this error message. The icing on the cake is that error message as stated implies that the developer knows this.

### 1/5 — Deceiving

*2018-03-17, version 1.0*

Does not allow to enter password in password protected files. Bulls$&@

### 3/5 — No delete option

*2018-02-10, version 1.0*

I just bought this app. I tried extracting one easy extract and it worked. But there is no way to delete my extra files. Also another free app was also able to play this file, this app couldn’t. That’s not a problem because I can export the file. But I have to be able to clean up after I’m done extracting.

### 2/5 — Problems with using files

*2018-01-16, version 1.0*

Audio files that have been unzipped by this utility cause a message that says not supported but when I finally managed to download those files by unzipping them in my pc & then getting them to the same iPad from Google Drive, they played fine.

### 4/5 — Delete

*2017-09-03, version 1.0*

Works ok, but how do you delete a file?
