It keeps asking for password. I didn't create a password for the zip file. Create a password and re-zip the file. Enter the password. It still ask me for a password.
Can't Use it.
Cant even figure out how to go to my downloads folder to unpack a zip. The “downloads” folder in the app is not the downloads folder on my iPad. Horrible UI. Android version is much better and is actually wasy to navigatw
iPhone Pro Max 17, latest OS, literally cannot create a zip, when I press "Done" adding files it crashes. Complete waste of money. Completely useless.
I have logged into my cloud services but when I go to select it later, it reads ‘login failed’. There are broken links on FAQ and to the website. Is this service still functioning? I downloaded 19/05/26 and money was taken from my acco7nt… today. Unusable…
Tried downloading it on my older ipad mini and it crashes on open, looks good and useful though

Requires a subscription to use, there is no free option. Ridiculous that unzipping folders is monetized nowadays
File size is displayed as precise mumber of bites, file size also only shown when individually selected, no option to split a file for email size limit☹️
App doesn’t download videos
This app is exploiting a loophole to appear as free on the app store but will not function at all without signing up for a 3 day trial in hopes you forget to cancel so you pay 10 bucks monthly. Reported.
I can’t believe it can’t split archives to send in gmail. What a waste of space.
I haven’t used WinZip for a long time. I installed it on my IPhone. It works like a champ and it is straight forward to use.
Great Awesome
unlike its siblings for Windows and MacOS, WinZip for iOS does not support gzip (gz) files, and many others, just zip, zipx, rar and 7zs. They should make this more explicit before the customer commits to a purchase decision.

Didn’t subscribed to this and I was being charged!
This app does not work unless you buy the subscription, and it doesnt even work then. Worst app I’ve downloaded so far.
I just tried it, it isn’t work. From 42.2BM zipped to 40.0 BM . It didn’t zip properly.
This doesn’t work. Had to upgrade to a $9.99/month plan and now the app is frozen and can’t undo to cancel.
