An essential and beautiful piece of software

This app perfectly fills the role of a standard system archive manager on iOS, and looks good while doing it. Keka looks and feels like a built-in iOS app, and works wonderfully. I can't ever see myself uninstalling it.

还行

好用但不满意，有时候明明解压码是对的就是解压不了，一直报错，搞得我还要用其他软件来解压

Extremely convent/avoid cloud storage.

Excellent!

So glad to have discovered Keka for iOS. Having used the OSX version for almost a decade now, it's great to have a powerful, fast archiving tool that handles different formats. No clutter, and fully accessible with VoiceOver screen reader. Great work!

Windowsとの互換なし？

Windowsの標準機能で解凍しても文字化けしないことを期待しましたが、残念ながらうまく機能しませんでした。
