Works great to backup files on my phone to external storage while preserving file dates. Can create split archives (useful on FAT32 drives with the 4GB limit). Would be better if there were more ways to select files, such as by part of the filename or by extension, not only entire-folders or having to manually check each file. But does the job well, and only £1 a year to support the creator

Best I could find by far, tried 3 other ZIP extractors which all took like 5hrs and most of the time failed at 98%. This badboy did it in 1.5hrs, I could reliably run it in the background and although it doesn't scan of stuff automatically and you have to dig through the files manually, that gives you much more control over what's happening and where it's saved. Wish I could give it more than 5 stars

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.

What’s new

Bugs fixed:

- RAR didn't issue an error when unpacking a truncated .tar.xz archive. Error status for truncated .xz archives was reported properly;

- RAR4 recovery volumes based data recovery was failed with seek error if one of REV files was less than 7 bytes. It happened even if other files were valid and allowed successful recovery.
