### 1/5 — Terrible

*2014-07-06, version 2.0*

Don't waste your time with this one!

### 1/5 — Unable to open a simple .gz file but did display lots of adverts

*2014-05-23, version 1.6*

Tried to use the lite version to download and open a .gz file from GNU gettext, prior to buying the full version.

It displayed lots of adverts over 30 minutes, but never opened the file.

Avoid.

### 1/5 — Opens and then hangs

*2014-04-22*

Cannot use it as it just hangs when it was opened. I will delete this.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2014-04-10*

After downloading, program is in a hang mode showing a constant state of loading for hours. I finally had to kill it and uninstall.

### 1/5 — Files

*2014-01-27*

I can not find my files

### 1/5 — No useful features without in-app purchase

*2014-01-21*

This is a crude app. From what I can tell, it has no useful features without paying for an in-app upgrade. (Without an in-app purchase, you can see the contents of a zip file, but apparently can't do anything with the files, like even open the file in the app itself.)

### 1/5 — Does NOT Work

*2018-05-05, version 2.3.91*

I kept thinking it was me and trying different things (since there is no manual or instructions).  Anyway, the zipped file never opened (in my iPad) but it was no problem in my iMac.

### 1/5 — They just want your money

*2017-08-28, version 2.3.8*

You have to pay to link your thing so you can't unzip

### 1/5 — Rubbish, does not work.

*2017-08-25, version 2.3.8*

Would give it no stars, also it's a copy of another.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2016-07-19*

*Opens app*
Ad - skips ad for 5 sec
Another ad pops up. 
*Clicks Local/etc*
Ad pops up. 

App is pretty much unusable with the amount of ads it has. I lasted about 10 secs before deleting this.

### 1/5 — If I have a chance to use it..really

*2016-05-21, version 2.3.4*

It's so riddled with pop up ads can't wait even try feature. Seems the focus for the developer to get paid on adverts over illustrating their development gifts.

### 1/5 — Lousy App

*2016-04-25*

Another lousy .zip program. I don't know why it's so hard to make a .zip program that works well with Dropbox or Google Drive. 

Almost all useful features require more money, the advertisements take up nearly 1/3 of the screen, the UI itself is really bad. It literally does nothing I actually need it for. Even after paying for the Dropbox "feature".

### 1/5 — Crap simply does not open

*2016-01-06, version 2.3.4*

Crap simply does not open

### 1/5 — Not free

*2015-12-02, version 2.3.4*

Not free

### 1/5 — Crap

*2015-08-15*

Badly designed piece of junk.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2014-08-12*

Does not work. Did in app purchase. Ads gone. Crashed, then ads appeared again. Did restore purchases, app does nothing. iTunes statement shows I was charged

Open-in for a zip file does nothing. Opens the app, but shows no information or any options to do anything. Will be requesting refund

### 3/5 — How do you transfer files back to google drive after they are unzipped?

*2017-07-10*

Hegvw

### 2/5 — Keep crashing on Music folder

*2014-05-26, version 1.6*

app keep crashing and upload failure all the time!!!Fix it!!!!
