the only file manager / zip folder compressor,extractor I've ever had to use. Im constantly having to work with 7z,RAR files etc and this is the best hands down. lightweight,no ads, FREE and it even has a text editor/ viewer/ notepad included . I wish all android devices should come with this software as the default app for these tasks. Great job to the developers! I will donate to ur cause keep up the good work😁

Amazing app, from all aspects. Seems trustworthy too — I've used this app for years (at least 5 years as of Feb. 2024) and there's no ads, no network access, and I remember no weird crashes/errors/memory leaks. Lightweight; preserves file modification timestamps during all operations; can install apps from XAPK/APKM bundle formats. Well done! However: ✋🔴 Creating any archive will SILENTLY SKIP media found besides a .nomedia file, and the built-in text editor is terrible — decreasing to 3 stars.

I've had ZArchiver installed on all my smartphones over the past 7+ years and agree with the many positive reviews here. It also has the option to be able to install an apk, a feature that's now hard to find on other file managers. Thanks to the developers for their hard work and for also providing it with no ads (i.e. for free!)
