I'm a bit wary. After installing, it wants the full All Files Access permission, which really should not be necessary. It can request to just access media files/downloads, which is a separate permission, and then if the user does want to access system areas, they can manually enable that. But requiring access to the entire phone is a bit of a security risk, especially if this app were targeted by cyber criminals. I know this is by the real RARlab devs, so I'm surprised to see this requirement.

The app is great! I love how I can look at pictures without having to extract them. I don't know if it's possible, but I'd love it if I could scroll through pictures instead of opening each one individually. I also like the "send" option where I can move things to other zip/rar files. However, it looks like I can't send folders to other zip/rar files. Would be great if I could do that and also create folders myself within the zip/rar files, since I like having things be organized.

Overall, it's a good app for file exploring, you can find many files with it and also customise it. It also offers compressing files and can also make seperate parts of a file. The only problem with the app is that we cannot access the data and obb folder with android os 11. I will definitely update the review to 5 stars if the dev team adds it. Will recommend to all!
