CNET Editors' review
ExtractNow could use a bit of sprucing up. The dead-simple and cheetah-quick installation brings you to an expanse of white that sits on top of four buttons. That's it. It's not an interface that sells the feature set, but it's the feature set that users will be most interested in.
The program should appeal to users who handle a high volume of archives, because all it does is extract archive contents. The four buttons--Settings, History, Clear, and Extract--lay out the basics. Click Settings and a window pops up to entice you with options. From the boilerplate specials like Always on Top or Start with Windows to more detailed customizations such as delineating a default extraction directory, setting file extensions to ignore, and adjusting post-extraction behavior, ExtractNow gives users as much flexibility as possible when it comes to batch archive extractions. You can, for instance, set it to delete archives after their files have been extracted.
It is not an archiver, though, and won't be able to replace your favorite archiver. But if you're more about receiving than giving when it comes to ZIPs, RARs, and TARs, ExtractNow can save you a massive amount of time.

"Brill bit of software"
Version: ExtractNow 4.15
Pros
Not too technical. Very straight forward. Easy to set up using its options. Interacts with Windows (icons, rightclick menu, etc). You can see it working so it doesn't leave you wondering whether you have just downloaded a dud.
Cons
I don't like the fact that some people have given it less than a five star!
-

"Great Program"
Version: ExtractNow 4.15
Pros
I love this program I use to use PowerArchiver but being I move around so much & my programs get lost, stolen or what ever this is a great free archive program. Both are great programs but everyone loves free!
Cons
Wish they offered a right click menu to archive & extract but its all good.
