iZip – Zip Unzip Unrar Reviews

While looking for a free app to unzip files, I came across iZip and downloaded it hoping (but not expecting) that the free version would do what I needed. And to my surprise and delight, the free version of iZip did and continues to do the job. It should be added that the aspect of how and when the ads in this version will appear can get a little annoying/repetitive. But all in all, it’s a small price to pay for not having to pay a price. For the purposes of basic tasks, you can’t go wrong with iZip!

I DL’d for my iPhone 7s and figured it would work as a Zip/Unzip engine & file manager plus everything else described. I never got past the fact that picture sizes were automatically changed from original resolution to “medium.” Changing that and enabling the ability to use a password required purchasing the Pro version is an instant deal breaker for me. Why? It’s not the price—I had every intention of paying for the Pro version if it worked to my satisfaction; the price is more than reasonable. But as others have observed the description is deceptive (with the disabled features making the product essentially inoperable) and THAT is unacceptable as far as I’m concerned. I’m deleting it and returning to my search for something that suits me (works as describes). I’ll be direct and honest: I hope the developer takes this/these criticisms to heart. I don’t believe they are being left in spite; I know mine is written to inform and, if possible, offer constructive feedback for the developers. iZip is “fixable” IMHO and if made to work as people expect, would be worthwhile—and well worth what the developers are asking (for their Pro version).

I use iZip daily and have loved it but I set up face recognition today and it would not recognize me so now it says it’s locked from too many attempts. There is no other option to get back in. I can’t find a valid email to contact you (the one listed is not active) so have to do here. Please help.
ETA:
Changed my rating. Finally found a way to contact the developer and response was immediate. Back at work.
Ps. Problem resolved by turning off face recognition in my iPad settings.

iZip crashes all the time, especially when you try to leave the advertisement screen back to the files screen. It just gets stuck on a white screen and you have to close iZip to get back to your files. Also, when playing media files, it will often just restart the playback for no reason. Even something as basic as deleting files is not intuitive. There is no simple delete button and it seems you have to clear all files at once. If the free version works this poorly, why would we have confidence to pay for the full version? Not impressed and am looking for a better option.

I like iZip very much. I was using it a lot. But lately I don’t have access to it anymore because you updated the age for iZip to +17 and due to a content filter on my phone I’m not able to open an app which is categorized for age 17 and up. I don’t think iZip has any adult content that it should have such a categorization so I ask you to please switch it back.

There is a crash that happens randomly on files, also media controls on mp3’s and other media files are bugged. On the last file you cannot go back and on an end of a song that would automatically change if you pressed the next button at the same time it will crash.

Also if you lock the iPhone, then the music plays till end, unlock it, then lock it the 3 media control thing in lock screen either disappears or the previous, play/pause, and the next button becomes disabled. This all should get fixed tbh.

iZip itself is simple and works as it should, i have no complaints. what caused me to deduct a star is for the ads. It’s not the fact that they have ads that bothers me—i understand, they need to make money. But, playing the most suddenly loud music or “Buffaloooooo!” every time you open a file is a little annoying. I know i can just upgrade, but honestly, it annoys me so much that i dont want to pay them to encourage keeping the noisy ads. I was just in a lecture and had my speakers up on full blast and just embarrassed myself.

After downloading and uninstalling apps that SAY they can work well I quickly found they don’t!!

This application is by far the quickest and easiest! Not to mention the freedom of not having to having to pay it!!

I’m so LUCKY to have found this application that TRULY does offer what it says it does!!

iZip worked fine to unzip my file, but it made a copy of my zip file in their own folder and unzipped it to that location. I’m trying to use my own folder structure, not theirs.

The hassle of having to move my unzipped file back seems unnecessary and like another app trying to take over my life. I want it to work with me, not against me.

It’s work 3 stars since it unzipped my file from iCloud for free.. but I uninstalled it because it’s not something I would want to use day to day.

iZip is great really helps me send multiple files all at once through email… But the only thing is when I’m trying to select Multiple pictures it doesn’t have a point and drag option to select multiple pics would really make my life easier instead of having to pick each picture one by one

I love iZip, I started in college to unzip my classwork and then continued using. It for work. I have resources cross the nation where I have had to unzip the files. It put big files in one place so when I need it again, I can find it to use later in future years.

I've been using iZip for a few years now. It's fast, it does what it says it will, and I've never once seen a bug or had a problem. Very convenient that you can open things from safari right from the share button. Keep up the good work.

iZip excels at zipping or compressing files. I select whatever I want and it zips it automatically. Share, export whatever you want works fantastic!
While the zip part works great, unzipping and opening files is nonexistent. I have an already zipped file I wanted to unzip. Unzip in app. Great! Now I want to open said file with another app, nope. iZip zips the file again. Wait, what? It doesn’t save it anywhere on my phone or on the shared drive I just unzipped the file from.

I bought the pro version and I find this a good utility to upload/download files from iCloud and have them password protected.

It is easy enough to use and I have not encountered any problems as of yet.

It is very frustrating when you have a file extracted and open it, it does not stay on the open file when you switch apps. Before it used to stay, now I have to deal with a 2 second advertisement until you press skip and then re-open the file I had before.

I downloaded this app to compress my Minecraft PE worlds so I can upload my maps online. But some of the files are too big to compress without paying premium. So I went to retrieve the files that were too big to upload but iZip wouldnt let me. It said I had to pay premium to move my worlds back into files. So now I’m forced to pay a ransom for my files that are too big to compress or take back unless I pay premium. If iZip developers are reading this, can you please help me fix this?

This is the first 5 star rating I've ever given!!! :)
I have had a lot of trouble finding a way to open anything i didn't have to click on to read, and iZip does it all with just a click!!!! Thanks so much for a GREAT app --- that's FREE!!!!! 😁

I have had no problems with iZip as others have reported, however the ads are constant and incredibly annoying. I wouldn’t have a problem upgrading to the pro version, but I’m so frustrated by ads popping up EVERY TIME I open a file (even if I’m just opening my phone back up) that I refuse to give them my money.

Just wanted to zip some photos up for a quick thing and iZip tells me I need to pay to do more than 10 photos in one zip file. I went to another and didn’t have that problem. Not a bad app but if you’re using it to zip photos it won’t do.

Not much needs to be said. A fine zip utility.

Halloween 2020 - I am thinking the latest fix has broken DropBox integration. But perhaps it is Dropbox. I am now putting my money that the Dropbox app is having issues.

Great over view, detailed explanation, convenient. I would like to see a short quiz at the end asking questions, waiting a few seconds in between and then providing answers. Give the listener an idea if they remember what was said and reinforcement. Bu good material and did not sound dry.

Downloaded WinZip first but then found out I would have to pay for pro version to download & access files on the cloud. Decided to try this app next and it worked great - could save and unzip files from OneDrive with no issues.

I don’t use it often, but works fine for me. I use it to unzip documents and am able to the open them in the my iCloud Drive in the folder structure I created. I then go and delete the local files afterward.

This is the most simple and fabulous unzipper app: Makes his work, unzip everything and it has no problem with saving your documents.

The problem: Crash a lot with heavy documents, and it have an messy interface.

I'm hopping that this problems would be fixed.

Thanks for the useful and simple app. I’ve been having iZip since 2 years ago and I don’t have any problem with it. Just now, I did a stupid mistake and deleted some files that are so important to me and I don’t know how could I restore them. Pleaaase don’t tell me that I can’t! Thanks for your supporting.

Works perfectly on my iphone 7!

Does what I need very simply and efficiently. I shoot photos on my iphone and then send them to my PC or Mac to finish them in Photoshop/Lightroom.

The only reason I needed the paid version was so I could zip more than 10 photos at 1 time to save time emailing them to my desktop computers.

Both free and paid versions are really useful and work like a charm.

Thanks for a great app that makes my photo work so much simpler!

I hope they fix this problem soon cause it’s going on my nerves.
The problem is that I couldn’t unzip multiple files at once , and I have to do it one by one and so freaking hard and the,all,button doesn’t do any good either cause I have to open all of them one one and click unzip!

I downloaded iZip to unzip a file in google drive. I then learned I couldn’t unzip something from google drive unless I had the pro version. Next I tried to move the file to my iPad and was unable to because iZip took over. So, plan B - I delete iZip , then moved my file to my iPad, reloaded iZip and it didn’t respond to my file. I deleted iZip again. Side note there are constant ads at the bottom of iZip .

I started really well with iZip , I got to unzip an audio file perfectly. But now when I try to unzip another one, the ads come in and interrupt the process! And when I try to unzip a file again, an ad comes and everything gets ruined. I am not upgrading!!!! Please remove at least the ads while trying to unzip a file :( this is really urgent for my work
