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.

Love this must have
Very simple and easy to use better than anything I’ve used + free!
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.

Good, better that apples, apples archiver wasn
works for me, so now I can ply those maps aI installed for nazizombiesportable! And some pc games on the internet
Great!
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!
Problem with exe
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.
Perfect!
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:
memory leak?
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.

iZip
It's alright but it just doesn't let me shut down my computer because of updating archives even though there is nothing being updated. Can someone help?
Good but some problems
Hello. The app iZip in itself is good. But it needs some patches improvement yadda yadda. I like using izip to unzip roms. i then put them on a microsd to use on my son's r4 ds. but sometimes for some of these roms while extracting ghave a message pop up. it goes "ERROR EXTRACTING
An error occured while trying to load or extract one or more files" this results in the rom on the sd having zero bytes of data yet int the orginal zip file it has the correct amount if anyone can answer why this happens or the game patches this problem Izip will receive another five stars.

Go with ALZIP It's free and It works better.
Problem 1-You have to open the unzipper and manually Unzip them.
Problem 2-You have to manualy reorder the files inside.
Problem 3-It does not quit itself-neither does Alzip, but Alzip does not need to do either of the above.
Problem 4-It is not as easy to use as Alzip.

Mildly confusing interface
I was frustrated that the app forced me to open a .zip file in a read-only window. It took me a while to realize that it had, in fact, unzipped the folder in the original location. It works, but it wasn't as obvious as I'd have liked.
Quick If you know what you are doing
I was looking for around for a program to unzip rar files for brushes to use in photoshop. I found this gave it a go an had my brushes in 5 minutes.
When it opens close the archive window. Click open and go look for your rar file. It'll open 2 windows. Pick the one with the most files as that's usually the contents instead of the folder. Just drag and drop it out of the window to the location you want and wallah!

No ability to add passwords
Seems like a good program, but if you need to add passwords, keep looking. I could find no option to do this
Works with password protected zip files created using 7-zip on Windows
All I needed was something to open a password protected Zip file created with 7-zip (created on a Windows PC). This did the trick just fine for me on a 2008 MBP running Mountain Lion.
Have never been able to open zipx files.
I downloaded this app primarily to allow me to open zipx files. To date, I have not been able to successfully open any zips files and I have tried several different ones.
At least it was free.

Best of all archive utilities!
I dont get why an app like this is not the most downloaded and popular archive utility. As opposite to other free apps, iZip allows me to preview the contents of the compressed files, then I can choose wich files I want to extract just by dragging and dropping them, its simple and perfect!
It does what it says but some issues
Basically its a good product, does what it says it does - but the biggest issues I have is when inserting a number of files it sorts them in who knows what order. I usually have a list of images starting with a suffix of 1, 2, 3, etc… When I grab a 100 images and zip it, the order is all random.. I don't like not having control like that.
