Ratings and reviews

Great app! Useful for when I want to open 7z or RAR folders. But i have issues, sometimes when I'm opening a 7z folder, it'll say that there are no files selected, so i have to delete the app and try again. The full screen ads are strange though. Otherwize, amazing. Its user interface is easy to use, I never had a hard time looking for files. The downloading of extracted folders takes a long time, but you can press the background button to download them in the background. Also SD card support!

I'd give it a 0 out of 5 if I could. I tried to zip some files on my phone and it ran out of storage, so I went to delete the half-made zip file to start over, and it said the files couldn't be deleted. So I tried to zip the files again after freeing up some more space and there were no files. I had not set it to delete the files after zipping them. It deleted all of the images on my phone. All 2000+ of them.

This app has a serious bug. When moving files from internal memory to an SD card, the SD card is afterwards no longer readable by the Android operating system, as if it has been deleted. I was moving files from my download folder in internal memory to a folder with the same name on the SD card which was formatted for external file storage. The files are still there and I was able to retrieve them in a Windows op system via a memory card reader, but were no longer visible on my Android devices.

What's new

1. Added extraction of 7z and xz archives utilizing ARM64 filter.

2. Out of bounds write is fixed in RAR4 recovery volumes processing code. We are thankful to goodbyeselene working with Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative for letting us know about this bug;

3. RAR file list could display a wrong timestamp for archived folders if folder record was resided in archive after files the folder contains.
