WinZip: #1 zip & unzip tool Reviews

by Flowerlark

Saving a zipped file on a ipad/ iphone sends the file directly to either files or dropbox. You can't open files from either of those locations without a subscription. Unbelievably greedy! As if I'm going to sign up for a subscription before I can even test WinZip ! Companies are trying to bleed us dry by locking even the most basic functions behind subscriptions you have to pay continuously! Remember when you only had to buy something once and could use it as much as you liked?

WinZip is completely cryptic, and is so non-intuitive it’s impossible to use. It took me ten minutes to figure out how to even get a file to show up in WinZip , but once it was in there I spent two hours trying to unzip it without success...all I got was pop up and was never able to decompress my files.

Why do I have to choose one file at a time. I want to select an entire folder.

Unbelievable waste of time. You app doesn’t work with drag and drop. It doesn’t even support split screen. You have to add one file at a time, rather than a folder. Send to doesn’t support apps like file mail. Just who is this for exactly, because your app is the worst thing I have ever seen. Do you know how to write an app or what??

What is the use of a software that can't open a zip file saved to your iPhone?? When you download something let's say from Google drive it saves the file to a local iCloud drive which is essentially the only location in "My files" that you can save to on any iPhone.
Guess what? this app can't open any file from that location. NOOO, THIS LOCATION IS CONSIDERED PREMIUM. So tell me - what is the use of an app that can't open a file you saved to your phone??

I tried it on an iPad running iOS 13. It could not find let alone open any zipped files in the iPad Files. There are no missing privileges errors, so this appears to be an application problem.
Useless. Too bad 7-zip is not available on iOS.

So I have this on my computer but can not find a place to sync it unless I upgrade on my phone. In WinZip Store, it says nothing about In App Purchases under the “Get” button. Uninstalling as soon I am down here. I’ll stick with the one I have on my phone, one it’s free and two it downloads to my files on my iPhone where I can pick to upload to Google Drive, Dropbox, and ICloud all for free. WinZip wants to you to pay to have that access.

The free version of WinZip never worked for me at all. It never popped up as an option when trying to “open with” files from my email, and didn’t recognize any of the files I already had downloaded. Any time I tried to search for something it just popped up an option to pay for the premium version. I don’t want to pay $5 to download one zipped file. Waste of time.

WinZip is listed as not having any in app purchases. Only to find that more that half of WinZip does nothing. Because it is mimicking the paid version and when you try to do anything it tells you to use the paid version. I don’t mind paying for apps. But don’t trust ones that try to trick me into paying. I’ll take my money elsewhere.

So you can't open anything from Files, because it's a premium feature. And once you've somehow managed to open the file and unzipped it, you can't share it anywhere. It is basically only viewable inside WinZip ! 1 star because that's the lowest possible rating!

I heard WinZip from my colleagues. I love the print feature very much. Nice job~ this app team!

If you know how to use the application it’ll definitely work for you, very simple and agile, so I love it !

Free but with good features. It’s my lifesaver when I’m running late for a meeting. I can review my ppts in the subway， using this fantastic app.

Worked fine for what I needed and was able to unzip the file and save on my phone. WinZip worked as intended.

Hard to believe that I found this app iOS so late， I have been using the desktop version for years， But I haven’t tried the iOS version before， It’s a light app and meets most of my needs，

I got the Premium because you could delete, now the feature is gone. I was able to highlight and press delete down bottom but now I paid for nothing!

It’s Better than expected. Although this is a free version and only has limited features。 not like the premium one. But it’s enough to operate zip files. Look forward to new features in the future.

I’ve been using this app since the very first launch of the program on my ibm comp back in the 80’s lol I can’t imagine another program that kept up with the times and the past.

by BDDa0109ll

I downloaded it due to I want to view some meeting materials. I received the files in my email but didn’t find an app to open the zipx file! until I found this app. Good app.
