Reviewed by: CNET Staff
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.

Version: ExtractNow 4.15
Pros: Unpacking made simple and free. Easy... install into context menu and you're a right click away from unpacking most compressed files. It even checks for updates on start up. Web site explains all config-settings for rookies like me. Has it's own uninstaller, light footprint and FREE!!!!!!!

Version: ExtractNow 4.15
Pros: I quite liked the idea and the way this program worked, it was quick, and didnt involve opening the archive, or right clicking, so for SOME it is perfect
Cons: Does need to be able to read more extensions to be a real competitor

Version: ExtractNow 4.15
"Wow I really needed this a long time ago!!!"
Pros: Overall a must have app for all you out there downloading all types of files i.e zip,rar,iso etc. VERY simple one click activation and compression of files.
Can't be any simpler and easier to use. Has made my life much less stressful not having to worry about what type of file I have and how to extract it to use.
Cons: Nothing a great product.

Version: ExtractNow 4.15
Pros: This is honest freeware.Winrar and winzip want you to pay for their software ,but only combined will do what this will do for FREE!!!!
No joke man.It's spyware/adware free and in fact won't even ask my firewall for a connection!It's stable,easy to use,has a good help file and plenty of useful option's too.
A nice pat on the back to the team behind this one.Great job Nathan.
Cons: None really.At first it was awkward for me though.

Version: ExtractNow 4.15
Pros: One of the simplest but most powerful programs I have seen to date. Easily installed it creates a bucket where a user can simply drag the required file or folder and 'Jack's your uncle'. Light on system resources I really wonder why one has to pay for a compression software when programs of high caliber are floating around.
Cons: Cant seem to find anything presently.
