Very slow, very buggy, crashes often, installs malware
00sweeneyJanuary 7, 2016
Pros
Hasn't killed anyone. As far as I know.
Cons
NCH will add programs to your context menu that will not go away until you install and uninstall the programs--which all contain spyware--that NCH added.
Summary
perfectly competent
December 17, 2015
Pros
handles all extensions, including .iso fast
Cons
a little pricey? not really.
Summary
does most things Winzip does (including emailing files as an option once you zip an archive). i was a longtime user of Winzip, but got frustrated with constantly having to re-buy it. this is a great substitute.
Annoyingly slow and Asks for upgrade on EVERY action
July 19, 2015
Pros
Nothing much. Does basic zip functions
Cons
Sets of my antivirus alert immediately (hmm cnet what are you up to), program wants you to verify you are not using it for commercial purposes every time you perform an action (seriously??) and is ungodly slow and has no preview functionality. USE WINRAR!!!
Summary
Use WinRAR it is far superior and free and has no annoying "buy the pro verion" b.s.
Nice program

Cons
Sometime its become bulky when it show company adds
Summary
Simple Yet Effective
HeavySoftwareUserSeptember 5, 2014
Pros
It's a pretty standard zip program, but I found it very easy to use. Unlike some other programs I am given the option to directly unzip or zip, zip a file directly into an email, and a number of other choices. Overall a good choice for a zip program.
Cons
The only criticism I would have is that the interface seems dated.
Summary
Nagware, uninstalled after second use..
RussminotaurJuly 28, 2014
Pros
Might be a great program minus the nagging.
Cons
Nags at you constantly. At every use it nags at you not to use it commercially, demands you certify you're not doing so. Every time you shut it down it nags at you to give it a review. Nag, nag, nag!!!
Summary
I get too much nagging IL, won't take it from software.
unzipping 200 files = clicking 200x I'm using free vers
vgpetersonJuly 27, 2014
Pros
I can select 200 files to unzip at once
Cons
I have to click on separate confirmation pop-up for each file, confirming that I'm using free version for home/personal use -- as if my answer will change from file 101 to 102
Summary
Wouldn't recommend to others for unzipping multiple files at once
