Ratings and reviews

used to be great, not anymore with the "access denied" basically you're forced to root your device to be able to access "most" some can't still be accessed. Rooting your device is generally not ideal. welp this sucks I guess. Edit: I also forgot to say, even if you even get access to see the files, you can't even touch your stuff. Basically all you can do is look at the files.

I don't know if this is a problem with my device, but I never had this problem before. Pretty much, whenever I extract/delete a file, it gets stuck at a certain percentage. So I have no choice but to go and abort it. But after aborting it, I find that the file does get deleted/extracted. The thing is, I'm not sure if it was actually completed since it got stuck at a certain percentage. The files I usually extract also have a lot of files inside them, so I can't really individually check them.

I have three phones running Android 9, 10, and 13. ZArchiver worked perfectly for years, but after recent updates all three phones started freezing, overheating, becoming unresponsive, and apps wouldn't even launch. On the advice of one phone manufacturer, I uninstalled ZArchiver from two phones. Both immediately returned to normal. While I kept it on the third phone for comparison, however the issue remains. So, I will give 1 ☆ till you resolve your App issues!
