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. **Developer response:** Sharing with Windows users is fully supported. Please see the 'sharing' section of izip.com/support for more details. ### 3/5 — Not able to edit ZIP *2017-10-24* 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. ### 1/5 — Pasword protection doesn’t work correctly *2017-06-25* 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. ### 5/5 — Love this must have *2015-09-19* Very simple and easy to use better than anything I’ve used + free! ### 1/5 — Horribly Buggy depending on size and file type. Overloads Mac w/ memory spikes! *2015-06-20* 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. ### 5/5 — Good, better that apples, apples archiver wasn *2015-02-18* works for me, so now I can ply those maps aI installed for nazizombiesportable! And some pc games on the internet ### 5/5 — Great! *2013-12-05* I was able to download this app with no issues, figured out how to view my files and unziped quickly. Thank you for creating an app that you can download with out having to get 10 other junk programs with it…Then again, This is just one of the millions of reasons to have a Mac and not a PC! ### 3/5 — Problem with exe *2013-12-02* Good system till it comes to exe extractions. Anyone else try to download microsoft office plus onto MacPro? I clicked on the link in my email to download but unable to extract it to even download it and enter my key. ### 5/5 — Perfect! *2013-09-13* This is absolutely great. I bought sims3 and I downloaded CC in sims3pack form, still needed to extract. Just barely deleted all my sims3pack stuff and found out how to do package form thanks to this! It works for a lot guys. It surely saved me c: ### 2/5 — memory leak? *2013-08-22* I tried using this app to decompress a collection of 7zip-ed video calibration files on an imac:i5,8gb ram,OS10.8 While the app performs the task correctly, memory usage spikes until all available system memory is consumed. Which causes an extreme slowdown in the process of extracting the archives, and makes the computer virtually unusable until iZip is closed. Good app for only working with few files. ## Frequently asked questions about iZip Archiver ### What file formats can iZip Archiver open? iZip Archiver can open ZIP, ZIPX, 7Z, and RAR archives, including password-protected ones.
