### 1/5 — Sucks

*2026-08-22, version 2.2.0*

Put my file in the app and it won’t even let me click on the file. This app sucks

### 1/5 — Waste

*2026-03-25, version 2.2.0*

Doesn’t unzip files

### 1/5 — Pretty much useless

*2025-04-01, version 2.2.0*

All this lets you do is open a file in a small window where it is barely readable. There is no way of saving it or opening in another app. What’s the point?

### 1/5 — Don't know

How do you use this app

### 1/5 — 😡

*2015-09-20, version 1.20.0007*

It won't explain how to get it to work

### 1/5 — Howe

*2015-02-13, version 1.20.0007*

How so u use it

### 1/5 — Does not work on iOS 7

App has not been updated in a while. Do not bother downloading on iOS 7, app just freezes.

### 5/5 — It

Works. Period.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2013-08-10, version 1.10.0006*

I'll be honest, this is the only zip app I have used, probably due to the name.  I have long since used PKWares products on my Windows box, Mac and now iPad and iPhone.  
Works great, flawlessly, and without any empty promises or additional in-app purchase gimmicks.
Five Stars easily.

### 5/5 — Wow

*2013-03-27, version 1.10.0006*

It opened up a file that even my computer couldn't do. Keep this a 5 star by optimizing it

### 5/5 — It works!

Works better than anything else I have tried!

### 5/5 — Mr

*2012-06-13, version 1.00.0007*

Awsome ! Tried almost all zip apps converters and inter changeable apps that is for free, to unzip / view jpg files over 2 mb in size . This works like a dream. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Cloud security

*2012-05-19, version 1.00.0007*

Works great with Dropbox!

### 5/5 — BizUser

*2012-05-18, version 1.00.0007*

Absolutely what I have been looking for. Finally! I can read the contents of a zip file sent in an email; PDF, jpg, whatever. Perfect for the business user.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2012-05-17, version 1.00.0007*

I have been looking for something this clean and easy.  Great App.
