I originally downloaded this app for archival purposes, but after trying countless file explorers, I eventually decided on this one. It has two tabs, it's lightweight and has a nice layout. I don't expect that it will evolve into a fully fledged explorer, but it will do until I find oma proper one.

It's a great tool for decompressing zips. It's free and has no ads. I've been using it for a long time, however I put 3 starts to it because even if I have my phone rooted, the permission given to the app, and even with the root section activated in the app, the app doesn't allow me to copy files from the root path anyway! It displays: "operation completed with errors". I tried mixplorer with root and everything was alright. Good app but with bugs.

When i try to copy and paste a certain file or zip into another file. It keeps selecting the file the one where i wanted the file to go to. It dosen't even enter i have to click over and over and over again. It's becoming annoying that i can't even resist to complain about this issue PLEASE Fix this i have to clsoe the app multiple times just to for it to stop doing it but it does TEMPORARILY.

It was useful for me installing texture packs for minecraft until there was something that pop up that says about recovering images that the app deleted. It was so frustrating that i accidentally click on delete all instead of recovering it while i was navigating through the files and now ALL of my photos are gone cuz of it, no more memories to go back cuz of this app. Pls fix it, or just make it to where it doesn't delete without my permission, Now im deleting this app for good!

The app is good but why can't I choose multiple files at once and there's no option for moving files as well only to copy? Why I want to move file to another location and you just put copy?? pls put it how I can choose multiple files at once not struggling all the time going in range to edit every file separately that's why I'm not using it some times

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 β€” 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: βœ‹πŸ”΄ Creating any archive will SILENTLY SKIP media found besides a .nomedia file, and the built-in text editor is terrible β€” decreasing to 3 stars.

Hello! This is a great app and it's very useful and needed for. I'm gonna get right to the point. Please update this app to a better version where users as me are struggling to root there phone. Can you let us have access to our own folder like the data folder where they say access is denied. Many people would rate this app even more I think , but if you could just do that 1 thing please. I want to install mods on minecraft but I can't even because my minecraft folder says access denied.πŸ€”πŸ€¨πŸ˜£

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!)

I've relied on ZArchiver for years, and it consistently impresses me with it's speed, ease of use and wide format support. It's a must-have for anyone who works with compressed files. I must say it has extensive format support, fast performance, user-friendly interface. It is really a reliable app and my ideal choice 😎
