Zip Viewer - Unzip and Archive

I was able to downloaded a zipped ebook pdf from a webpage and open it immediately in this app. I could read it in the app, but I easily used the "open in" link to open the unzipped pdf in iAnnotate to read and make notes. Couldn't have been easier, unless Apple were to support automatic unzipping of files for all apps so I could open the zip file directly in the preferred destination app - which they don't 😪

I used this app for a while and found another zip app that works better. I’ve been trying to get the files I opened with this app saved to my cloud drive, but when I asked on their forum they said the only way to do it is through iTunes. I haven’t used iTunes in a long time, but I tried following their instructions. Apparently now you are no longer able to manage apps through iTunes. I have posted to their forum and sent several emails telling them this, but they won’t respond. It shows that my comment is “awaiting moderation” when I login to their forum, and they won’t respond to emails. Very frustrating. Very unprofessional. I would not recommend this app to anyone! Apparently if you use the free app and simply want to switch to the pro version this is the same issue. The app I currently use to unzip is the same as the pro version, just with ads. Now it seems I’m going to lose all of the files I opened with this app since they won’t help me. I guess they don’t have an answer so it’s easier for them to ignore. I haven’t ever left a bad review for an app, but this is really ridiculous. I hope my review will save someone else from this headache!

I always groan when one of my musical equipment products has their manuals, MIDI implementation, presets, etc on a Zip file instead of a PDF file because I prefer to read my manuals on my iPad and there was no way to open the Zips. I did some research and most articles required doing several steps which usually involved buying an app or something else. Then I discovered this free app. What works for me is I copy my Zips to my iCloud. Then, when I open up my free Zip Viewer, it already has a selection for clicking on my iCloud and it automatically shows and opens all of the Zip files that I copied. What a great tool. Easy and free.

In just trying out the product, it froze while loading, placed full page ads for video games up incessantly and froze again while I was trying to provide a rating. If you want someone to find value in your app, perhaps you should focus on allowing them time to use it versus dumping ads all over the screen after every five folder selections or file viewings. When it works, it seems to be worth free as a viewer but I doubt that it’s worth the price of the ‘pro’ version even if that does come with what should be price you pay to stop the ads.

I don't need to view or edit files inside a ZIP on mobile very often, but when I do it's typically a very-short-notice work thing. It's good to be able to get it done right away, rather than scrambling back to my computer from wherever I am. This app handles that job perfectly, and if you think you need it, you probably do. A clean interface and—most importantly—no surprises.
