Installing ZIP Extractor was quick and hassle-free. The app launched smoothly and immediately recognized the compressed files on my device. The interface is simple, clean, and beginner-friendly, making it easy to unzip, view, or extract files without any confusion. It supports multiple formats like ZIP, RAR, 7Z, and more, which is very convenient. The extraction speed is fast, and the app doesn’t lag even with larger files. I also liked that it keeps the folder structure intact after extraction. No unnecessary ads or complicated steps — it just works the way it should. Overall, a reliable tool for anyone who frequently handles compressed files on mobile.

It used to be at the very least a solid zip/rar viewer, now you have to pay money to just view the contents of the file (when I just could download the zip and view it myself). I used to use this app in order to view and download

It used to be at the very least a solid zip/rar viewer, now you have to pay money to just view the contents of the file (when I just could download the zip and view it myself). I used to use this app in order to view and download certain files in an archive without having to sit and wait for the file to completely download the entire archive, but now I can't do that without paying money (and I am not giving money to a service that I can do myself but slower).

I've been using this ZIP extractor over the last few years in personal and work settings, and it's always come through for me. A few times it's been an actual life saver, opening ZIP files from one client that uses a password format that neither my mac or chromebook could open. In general it's been a low-fuss app that I've come to rely on. The app gets out of your way and in less than a minute I can usually extract and then find my files in my Google drive. I like that I can "view" the files first before extracting. Thank you to the team that made this!! -TD
