User Reviews

Most users report the app can extract many file types (including gz/xz) and is useful for specific workflows, with a generally positive look and feel. However, safety concerns and intrusive ads are repeatedly mentioned, and some users experience reliability issues or feature limitations (modifying files, compression). Overall, functional but with notable safety and reliability caveats.

Pros

Extracts a wide range of file types, including gz/xz, beyond what many tools can handle
Useful for specific workflows (emulation, Creality Cloud) and keeps extracted content accessible
Pleasant UI and generally positive reception (looks nice, 'great'/'good' ratings)
Does what it says/works as advertised

Cons

Security concerns: flagged as malicious/spyware and reports of intrusive ads
Reliability issues: some reviews say it doesn't extract or work at all
Limitations: cannot modify files; compression to .xz may fail

Recent reviews

Useless. Doesn't work..

Extremely scammy and misleading full screen ads. If I wasn't clueful enough to know that my PDF reader doesn't really need a security update or that my file manager is not really obsolete, who knows what sort of nastiness this app would have enabled to infect me? All stars lost for enabling preying upon the gullible.
