1. It can also handle other kinds of formats, like CD and DVD images such as ISO, BIN, MDF, NRG and CDI, many Windows self-extracting EXE files, and can even extract media from Flash SWF files and images from PDF files.

Low on Features

You can open an archive and individual files within it. However, you can’t: * Extract all the files at once onto iCloud Drive or local storage * Compress existing files into an archive, or recompress an archive in a different format * Export the archive in any way other than by emailing it It allows you to open an archive and extract single files. But opening an archive one file at a time manually is pretty terrible.
Perfect

It’s free and it works well. I can an open an archive from pretty much anywhere using the share menu.
Ridiculous

By A. Sweeney (Pcmac user)

This app “works” in that I just used it to open and save the contents of a RAR archive on my iPad... but it works extremely poorly and not at all like The Unarchiver for macOS. Each file had to be previewed and then saved individually... dumb. I want to extract the archive all at once and save it all at once, which I’m pretty sure everyone wants. That’s how The Unarchiver works.
Works perfect and no other app could

By modrepo.com (Pcmac user)

This app unarchived .gz files for me when no other app could and it’s FREE?!!! Nice UI too. Shout out to the dev. Thanks so much.
