Professional Zip File Manager
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
I got the Premium because you could delete, now the feature is gone. I was able to highlight and press delete down bottom but now I paid for nothing!
As stated in previous reviews, the audio is hijacked. Any audio playing turns off when I have the app open and:I go to the iPhone Home Screen I turn off the screenThe screen turns itself off I think the asking price isn’t much but I wasn’t ready to immediately pay for the program. So I stuck with free, deciding if the program made my zip-life significantly easier, I’d support with a subscription. I needed a difference, as well as consistency. The program was good enough free. So I wasn’t inclined to pay for free any more for that reason. But I figured if I use it a pretty long time I should still support it. Well, not even a full month in and anything I downloaded from The WinZip transfer files just vanished. Completely whimsied itself into thin air. So much for that consistency. All this app did was help me learn how to use files and Google drive together to get what I need without any purchases or apps at all. I hope it improves in the future, but I cannot currently recommend this app to anyone.
Even though it’s 2023 and everyone uses zip now, someone gave me a .7z file, so I thought I’d try this to extract it. “Extract” immediately froze the app. “Extract to here” gave me a loading bar that was stuck at zero and the app still froze when I tried to cancel it several minutes later.It also asked for full access to my photos, videos, and media the moment I opened the app. I get that it can be used to archive those things, but maybe wait until I go to do that before trying to access them? The fact that it tried to access them immediately is extremely questionable.
Saving a zipped file on a ipad/ iphone sends the file directly to either files or dropbox. You can't open files from either of those locations without a subscription. Unbelievably greedy! As if I'm going to sign up for a subscription before I can even test the app! Companies are trying to bleed us dry by locking even the most basic functions behind subscriptions you have to pay continuously! Remember when you only had to buy something once and could use it as much as you liked?
