Good app. convenient and nice looking app. I use it about half of the year and it just works. I use it even on my desktop computer. There was only zip format in the first version but after update this app can handle almost all known archive formats, I couldn't say that I use all of them but ability to to work with all those formats warms me))) Pros: Supported formats. Almost all that I know(zip, rar, 7z, arj, iso, bzip..) and which I don't knowConvenient in use. I like the workflow I manage my archive filesI can change UI themes, not so big deal for functionality, but I like look and feel some that themesI works on my Surface!!! Cons: It lacks working in background mode(I believe it's common Store apps problem)
