Pros and cons of ZipBox-Pro™ app for iPhone and iPad
ZipBox-Pro™ app good for
It is simple and good.
Is it recognize extension with a period like Win by a file name?
ex:aaa.rtf.zip →It is not zip
The app successfully opened a zipped folders of Word files. The file names were in English, but the files themselves included text in both Japanese and English. No problem. Useful.
4 Stars for now. Add RAR files support and Ill give it 5 stars!
Works fine on my iPhone 4 and iPad. You need to select "open in" ZipBox. Not sure what other folks are having problems with.
I had to try it twice but the second time it opened the zip fine. It seems to work as it is supposed to.
I picked this one up, hoping it would resolve some issues, but it disappointed me on one big point: it does not recognize passwords. I tried a couple of different ones, thinking it might be an iPad-related keyboard issue, but even a simple lower case password was not recognized, and it kept asking for it. So it will not open password-protected zip files, which only makes it half-useful. The print in zip box dialog takes forever to show up when I open the attachment in Safari. Initially, I thought it didnt work at all, then I realized it just took a while. So, if your main concern is zipping for file size, and security isnt an issue for you, then this app will work okay. If you need to open password-protected zip files, I doubt it will work - it did not work for me. Hopefully they will fix this bug soon. I need to open secured zips.
Some bad moments
This program is as useful as a brick - the introduction screen does not work and there are no help screens available so for simple fools like me will find this program as useless - there is no way to activate whatever features it might have. It is a disappointing product and a waste of money.
Bought it tried it in both mail and gmail through safari it would not open a zip file. I even reset my iPad still nothing. The file I tried to unzip was only 5kb word file so very small.
This app sucks big time! Cant zip files already on my iPad. When asked about this problem (whats the Pro stand for??) they didnt even get back to me! Lousy aftercare as well. Hate it. Want my money back!
Программа не работает, поддержка отсутствует, как в принципе и сайт разработчика...в я ауте, куда смотрят цензоры Огрызка...The program does not work, no support, both in principle and the site developer ... I was in bounds, where watched censors Mr. Ohryzko (Apple)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Doesnt work at all on IPhone 4. This app is a scam. Dont waste your money. I wish I could get my 1.99 back.
I was anxious to have ZIP file support on my iPad.
I received an e-mail containing a ZIP file of a recording of a corporate meeting in MP3 format. I looked forward to using this app to extract and play the file.
The developers FAQs on how to open a ZIP file from e-mail, are incomplete.
This lovely app (sarcasm) was intelligent enough to open the ZIP file and show the MP3 file inside. However the app would not play the MP3 file at all. But it did know to associate a QuickTime icon with the file. So...I could see the file inside the ZIP file but the app could not do anything with it. Useless app.
