CNET Editors' review
From install to operation, this freeware is one of the easiest file compression tools you'll find. JustZIPit doesn't bother with an interface. Installation takes only a single-click as the application merely adds two items to your Context menu. Help is a single page and should easily explain the application to all users.
Operating JustZIPit takes a single-click to zip or unzip a file or folder. Right-click any file or folder and choose JustZipit Create and the file or folder is compressed quickly to a ZIP file. Saving time, the zip file is named the same as the folder or file and given the zip extension. The application includes a second function to perform the ZIP operation, and then add the file to a new e-mail using your default e-mail client. Oddly, unzipping a file means clicking it and selecting JustZIPit Create. The application will unzip files created with other ZIP tools.
Compressing and uncompressing is very quick with this tool. It needs no additional DLL or .NET to run. While the lack of an interface may bother some users, power users looking for simplicity and speed will want JustZIPIt.

"not so dependable"
Version: JustZIPit 135
Pros
worked for short time.
Cons
I could never get it to load while in Mozilla and when in IE it would never work
Summary
I switched to Peazip and it never failed me

"IT JUST DOES NOT WORK!"
Version: JustZIPit 135
Pros
It isn't a virus, a worm or a trojan.
Cons
It does nothing except open a webpage advertising their other product which is not free. After removal, it has left two annoying items in my context menus that will take a fair bit of registry editing to remove. Yes folks, I do know how to "right click", or I wouldn't understand the term "context menu".
My OS is XP SP3, if anyone thinks they know what I am doing that is so wrong.Summary
Avoid this like the plague. As someone mentioned above, all of its functionality is ALREADY NATIVE TO WINDOWS. Whether it works or not, you just don't need it.

"Very handy, fast and functional."
Version: JustZIPit 135
Pros
Quick, from right-click drop down menu.
Cons
Doesn't work on Windows 7 but Windows 7 has its own built in under the "send to" tag on the right-click menu.
Summary
I recently put this on a friends XP machine and she had no idea it would work that easy and WELL. New convert.

"Not completely automatic but functional."
Version: JustZIPit 135
Pros
Unzips files very fast.
Cons
Need to go through a couple windows.
-
"totally useless"
Version: JustZIPit 135
Pros
simple to setup and run.
Cons
a total nightmare when it comes to uninstalling the program, leaves behind self-replicating registry keys, context menus and other pieces linked to the program. There is no active support and a majority of the links are dead.
Summary
I would highly recommend users to use another freeware program other than Justzipit. or save your money up to purchase the ultimate program Winzip.

"very easy to use"

"Does not work for me"
Version: JustZIPit 135
Pros
Its absolutely free
Cons
No command added to my right click menu so program was useless
Summary
As I stated above it claimed that it'd add a justzipit command to the right click menu but did not do so. When I went to the program menu and told it to launch the program it simply brought up an about justzipit webpage. I'm about to try uninstalling it, thank goodness its free so it just ended up wasting my time and nothing else.
