Review summary

User reviews show a mix of positives and negatives. Pros center on ease of use, encryption support, and the app’s long-standing reputation as a leading compression tool. The most common drawbacks are intrusive ads, stability and performance problems (crashes, long unzip times), and billing issues (unexpected charges/refunds). Additional frequent complaints include missing or unreliable support for certain formats (Zipx, 7z) and usability flaws (poor sorting/search, cluttered UI). Overall, the app is appreciated for basic functionality and security, but plagued by ads, reliability, and billing concerns.
