I'm really enjoying this app, I know what a zip and txt file is, but never heard of a gz, so just downloaded this app, it converts to txt files after opening and selecting a file type to open on. And the txt file still be there after deleting the gz, file for convenient storages. I prefer a sd memory card to convert on.

Thanks for this! There are definitely ads but im certain anyone who is using this is using it for very small use cases. It works as advertised and is definitely what it says. Good job! If I could add one thing though, I would add a bit of sorting. Otherwise amazing.
