### 3/5 — 咋用不了

*2026-03-09*

用不了呀

### 4/5 — 不能压视频

*2025-04-23*

为什么不能压视频呀

### 4/5 — It works.

*2022-09-29*

I like it. It’s simple to use and works for the things I need to unarchive

### 3/5 — стал хуже работать

*2021-01-24*

Раньше нарадоваться не могла, без проблем работал. После последнего обновления iOS периодически “вылетает”. Нажимаю распаковать архив и все, программа просто закрывается

### 2/5 — I can’t rename or delete files.

*2021-01-24*

Can’t rename or delete files. Wtf?
Like app.

### 5/5 — Gut!

*2020-12-16*

Самое нормальное приложение, можете не искать другие)) Уютный интерфейс, быстро работает, рекламы минимум (узкий баннер снизу). Открывает зип, рар архивы, в том числе загруженные на онлайн хранилища. Есть встроенный просмотрщик офисных форматов и PDF 👍

### 4/5 — 能不能 能不能 能不能 解决啊

*2020-11-20*

更新完为什么退出再打开就又从头开始了？每次还要再各种往下翻 为什么 为什么 为什么呢这样很不方便啊
 现在更新新版本以后 连双击屏幕隐藏抬头功能都没有了 退出不保存就算了 现在倒好 连看的什么小说旁边人都看的一清二楚 提了半天意见 没有改善不说 又给制造了一个问题 让使用时不爽加更不爽 什么时候能改回来 不需要保存历史了 宁愿自己再翻去 也要要求恢复之前版本双击隐去抬头功能吧 毕竟实在不想让别人看到自己小说的名字呀 没安全感

**Developer response:** 您好，我们将尽快检测和修复您所反映的标题栏和阅读位置问题。谢谢！

### 3/5 — 檔案要開閃退

*2020-11-12, version 4.3.1*

你好！近日用它來開zip檔案後就閃退～是更新才這樣嗎？

### 5/5 — iPhone 6S

*2020-07-24*

Works great. You can easily open up files in different apps once they are extracted.

### 5/5 — Fab app that’s worth recommending!

*2020-04-07*

I generally don’t write reviews but I’m so happy with this free little beauty i just had to do it some well deserved justice and say :- Its really good, works every time, easy to understand and the only input needed from you is quite simply to press your finger upon the word “unzip” when it comes upon your screen and hey presto it’s done. When you’re done with the unzipped file you can either save its opened contents to your documents folder or just zip it straight back up again to save phone space and then save it in your documents folder ...love it!! 
My only regret is that I didn’t find this little beauty before I’d wasted money on paying for a couple of other so-called ‘reputable” apps that didn’t allow me to do all that I’d paid for and which then lead me onto trawling through the internet and eventually finding this fab freebie. I hope it stays free but to be honest if it doesn’t I’d quite happily pay its fee ; it really is totally worth it. 
Don’t pass it up, definitely give this gem a go!

### 4/5 — Zipapp

*2019-11-28, version 4.0.2*

Simple y practico

### 5/5 — Great

*2019-11-25, version 4.0.2*

Great

### 5/5 — Help

*2019-06-21*

I need help with the app

### 3/5 — This is why people have trust issues...

*2019-06-21*

I have used this app for over a year and a half. As I run a small crafting business, this has helped amazingly to grab files and quickly unzip them, as well as being able to sell my projects in zipped form (as Apple doesn’t allow us to send larger files). I absolutely praised and loved this app for so long, until I tried listing a couple of projects the other day. The app closed out, and upon opening again, EVERY FILE WAS GONE! Nothing has worked to recover these files! 

I’ve always gotten frustrated with other apps asking you to create an account, but now I fully understand, and wish that this app would’ve had the option.  I’m out so much because of this 😭 I’m now in search of another zip app that has the simplicity and ease of this app, yet won’t fail me.

### 3/5 — Cannot use with cellular data

*2019-06-16*

I live in the country, and do not have Internet access. You should really add an option to view my files using cellular data.

### 1/5 — Version 4.1.1 not working properly

*2020-10-26*

I am unable to draw a pattern to unlock. Just clicking on background takes me directly to file list

**Developer response:** Hi, the issue has been fixed in ZipApp version 4.2. Thank you!

### 1/5 — It did not work

*2020-08-15, version 4.0.2*

Did not work

### 1/5 — Epic Fail

*2020-03-09*

Not only was I not able to open a zip file, but it asked for my cc information to "verify identity" and I was signed up for a streaming service that I did not want

### 1/5 — Malísima.

*2019-12-01, version 4.0.2*

Malísima.

### 1/5 — Not for DNG files (LR Mobile Presets)

*2019-04-25*

If you try to unzip and subsequently save DNG files (Lightroom Mobile Presets), the app will repeatedly crash and you won’t be able to save the files to upload to LR. Save your time.

### 1/5 — ne fonctionne pas .gz

*2018-11-25*

remboursez !!!

### 1/5 — Ne sert à rien

*2018-03-30*

Demande de cliquer sur le bouton wifi mais ferme à chaque fois que l'on clique dessus !

### 1/5 — DOSENT WORK

*2017-06-27, version 3.0.1*

No data is stored

### 1/5 — Бесполезно

*2017-02-25*

Архив сделать можно но невозможно выбрать большой объём сразу, придётся по одной выбирать и потом ни отправить по мэйлу ни ещё что-то сделать

### 1/5 — Китайская грамота

*2017-02-19*

Объясните, почему приложение открывается на китайском!!!языке?!

### 5/5 — 7 out of 10, would recommend …

*2022-06-30*

Progressively getting more glitchy … but I still dig it.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2022-03-30, version 4.3.2*

Sometime I need to open 2 or 3 docs in different apps together with file app. This app works very good, can search, keep current position when re-open. No pop up Ad. I did not use any compressing or de-compressing function yet but for me it's awesome
Good job, thank you, just bought full version.

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2021-10-13, version 4.3.2*

Muy buena para poder descomprimir mis archivos .iso

### 5/5 — 希望能保存存档

*2021-02-19*

软件挺好用的，就是希望里面解压游戏能够有存档，没退出去可以用存档，但是退出软件之后，里面的游戏存档都没有了，希望能解决，最后还是鼓励一句制作人员辛苦了，加油，专业版的已经在另一台设备上买了。

### 5/5 — Very Good
