Has issues
I installed this to compress files. For some reason, the program zips just fine but on the recieving end Windows users are unable to open. ON their end it appears they can open the folder but cannot open the files in it. I am not sure. Since I work on a MacBook Pro (older 2010 version) and do not use Windows, I cannot vouch for the reason it could not be extracted but the person tried multiple ways and was unable to do so. Therefore, I un-installed this and won’t be using it. If you are simply unzipping maybe it is fine. However, compressing and sending apparently has an issue.

Not able to edit ZIP
It’s good extracting and creating ZIP files because it supports drag & drop. You can extract individual files from a ZIP file without extracting the whole thing.
However, you cannot modify any ZIP archive. They always appear as read-only.
It can only create ZIP files (same as built-in MacOS “compress” option), but it cannot create .7z files (for example), only extractions is available.

Pasword protection doesn’t work correctly
I downloaded this app to create password-protected files to email to clients. Unfortunately, the zips it creates aren’t recognized on Windows, and I discovered that the OS X Archive Utility (the built-in zipper/unzipper) can’t handle the archives either. So, I’ll have to look elsewhere, or keep futzing with Terminal to create password-protected zips.

Horribly Buggy depending on size and file type. Overloads Mac w/ memory spikes!
This app works fine for small files but for big files and certain compression formats it will freeze up or just crash after uncompressing just afew small files. Especially on 7zip files. iZip is HORRIBLE at uncompressing 7zip files. It will literally take 1+ hours to uncompress a small 7zip file that would take other programs 10-30 seconds….and i’m running a i7 quad core Mac with a 750GB Samsung SSD and 16gb of RAM! I produce entire songs on my Mac and iZip struggle to uncompress a 20mb 7zip file?! Use this program if you want to….but there are much better free programs out there for this. Literally just downloaded Unarchiver off the Mac app store to give it a try. Been using iZip for almost a year without questioning all the problems. Can’t believe how much better Unarchiver is. What freezes iZip, or would take an entire day to uncompress, took only 5 minutes on my Mac with Unarchiver. Thats how buggy and how bad iZip utilizes the power of your Mac.
