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 keep popping an error when extracting, but a full page video ad pops up exactly the same time as the error message, therefore, I cannot attempt to fix. I understand the costs involved, developers deserve to eat, too. I just wish I could (easily) pay instead of being forced to view ads. This company has been known for their great products in the past, and it was my obvious first choice. Unfortunately, I'll have to find a better option for my mobile needs.

Normally errors are displayed in the window with extraction progress and ad is shown only after this window is closed by user. It waits for user action in case of extraction errors. It is possible to pay to disable ads with "Remove advertisements" command in RAR options menu.

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. Folder modification timestamps are also restored when unpacking TAR and TAR based archives like tar.gz and tar.bz2. Previously only file timestamps were restored for these archive formats. Timestamps are restored only if Android version is a new enough to allow an application to set them.

2. File overwrite mode saved in extraction dialog with "Save settings" button is also applied in extraction commands invoked from context menu.
