Ratings and reviews

I've been using this for a week or so and the ads aren't too bad for a free app, even though they're fullscreen they aren't long, you can close them immediately. It's been good so far with opening up RAR files and such and i wouldn't say it has any downsides. I can see all my files. [I've been using this for my 2DS, and at first i used the app on my tablet, and i could only move the files to a home folder on that SD, but it doesn't happen on my phone so thats nice!] Suggestion: Search button

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.

Great app. Organized. Works Just like WinRAR on PC. My only complaint: I really wish they would have made the in-app payment to remove ads a one-time fee, rather than a subscribtion. I know it's only 99¢ per year, but I'd legitimately rather pay $3 - $5 now than have a paid subscribtion than I'm definitely going to forget about.

What's new

Heap overflow vulnerability is fixed in RAR5 recovery volume data reconstruction code. We are thankful to Arjun Basnet from Securin Labs for letting us know about this security issue.
