### 1/5 — Discontinued by the Developer

*2022-07-16*

Avoid downloading. This iOS version does not open StuffIt files on the latest versions of iOS and iPadOS. The developer states on their website that all versions of StuffIt on all platforms have reached “End of Life”.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t actually open StuffIt files

*2021-03-12*

The app won’t actually expand StuffIt archives.

### 5/5 — Abbas hajatpour

*2017-09-23, version 1.0.1*

Need help to open the app:
I just update my iPhone to iso11 but my expander app does not work as the software developer need to update the expander app , need help to open the app

### 1/5 — Doesn't work at all!

*2016-04-03, version 1.0.1*

Very disappointed in this app! Doesn't work at all on iOS 9.3 I have Stuffit Deluxe on my Mac and this app is useless. Hasn't been updated since 2011.
Zip files will go into the app, but after that you can't view it, won't copy to iBooks, nothing!

Zero is really what I want to give it!
This should be taken off this site

### 1/5 — Needs an update

*2015-05-28*

Crashes on launch.
Update needed.

### 1/5 — Won't open

*2015-01-26*

Doesn't open on iPad Air 2, iOS 8.0.

### 1/5 — Fix it!

*2015-01-13*

Gotta raise my voice as well.  This was a great app to have until I upgraded my iPad to OS 8.  Now it just takes up space.  Crashes before it even opens.  I've got an entire library of documents I can't access now.  FIX IT!

### 1/5 — CRASHES!

*2014-12-15*

Tried to load three or four times on ios8 iPad.  It crashes every time I try open the app.

### 1/5 — App doesn't work on IOS8 iPad

*2014-11-06*

Hi,

Your app works on an IOS8 iPhone, but not an iPad.

### 1/5 — Went from great to poor!

*2014-10-01*

Used this app all the time on my iPad and loved it...now it's dead after loading 8.0....sad.....
