Ratings and reviews

Because it allows viewing content of several archive types without extracting them first, I consider it better than 7Zipper, plus it is smaller too. This app is very fast. It is many times faster than file managers with a built-in "zip & unzip" feature, that goes for compression and decompression. Navigating folders is made easy because you can add them as favorites and access them via a pull-down menu. It handles external storage very well, even on later OS versions. If this app featured comprehensive batch file renaming and with root, batch permission and ownership changing, and a dual panes option it would be the world's ultimate Android file management app.

I really love this app. It's really easy to use and I would give it a 5 star rating with no complaints at all, but there's one bug that causes me to reinstall this app everytime, it's a bug where if I copy a file, the file gets corrupted and the file will be 0B also known as 0 bites, I want to share some files with my friend but this is a really annoying bug and I would like it to be fixed. Other then this, good job and the app is perfect!

This is a great app; it's been solid and reliable for the couple of years I've used it. I've only used it to archive photo files (unlike other methods, zipping files preserves their modification times). My only complaint is that, if you want to open a folder, you have to tap on it very lightly and quickly... otherwise the app assumes that you want to archive the folder. It would be nice to have a setting that lets you control how long a tap must be before the folder is archived.
