September 8, 2020

very good

Pros

It is a well-performing and effective program to do a lot of work, especially file compression, and it is fast and easy to use. I have used it for a long time and I recommend using it. Thank you.

Cons

In fact, there are some drawbacks to it, which is that it is locked with a password and you only need certain procedures

### "Best compress software ever "

October 11, 2020

5.0

WinRAR is an excellent file unpacker compere with other similar products. It includes different languages, so anyone can easily adapt for that.

Pros

WinRAR has simple interface and it’s working process is really speed than others. It has ability to create zip or RAR file format. We can choose different compression methods and easily set password to secure the files.

Cons

I started to use WinRAR more than five years. But I cloud not find any major issues with that product. But, WinRAR has very short time trial period. I’m not happy with their android version because it does not run smoothly like desktop version.

### "Great tool to unzip archives, also on mobile phones"

August 6, 2021

5.0

Pros

It works, you can easily unzip all kind of archives, you can create many different archive-fomats with special properties (split archives, compression rate,...)

Cons

The fact, that the software is not free to use for commercial use made us to change to 7zip. also, 7zip has a better context menu integration!

### "Great software that is easy to use"

August 14, 2021

5.0

WinRar is the world's most powerful compression software, and it lets you zip and unzip this content to your heart's content. WinRar offers a number of incredible features that make it an extremely useful tool for anyone who needs to archive or just compress files into smaller packages-like email attachments. When you start using WinRar, you'll notice that there are some excellent shortcuts available right on the main interface screen so that you can give yourself the best experience possible when trying to work with compression. We won't spoil all of them here for you; try clicking around inside WinRar and see which ones could be used in your everyday life! Winrar allows users to set up their own custom commands as well as shortcuts

Pros

Ease of use The UI makes using it a one-click process

Cons

None really I found it suited all of my needs

### "WinRar Honest Review!!!"

April 17, 2022

4.0

Overall Despite Being Really Good File/ Document Compressor You may run into issues on a lower spec computer / desktop....

Pros

Security With This Is Great!!! You Can Enable Passwords for Files & Documents To Ensure That Not Anyone Can Access Your Zip file /Document Also I love That it Can Repair A File/Document That Is Physically Damaged And Lock it to Prevent Further Changes... Real nice....

Cons

While having Alot of Advantages One of The Only And Biggest Disadvantage For Me Is That Depending On Your Computers Performance This Can Affect Your Experience With WinRar You can experience Freezing & lagging if your computer is lower speced...

### "Windows is incomplete without it"

October 22, 2021

5.0

A perfect archive creation and management software with a really light footprint. Happy with performance.

Pros

What's not to love. The ability to compact and compress files - including Zip format, ability to read almost all types of archives including 7z, iso etc, and the tiny application size! Have been using it for over ten years. Beats WinZip by a mile and then some.

Cons

Absolutely none. Potentially when unpacking large archives, the system impact ad speed could be better.

### "Llevar múltiples archivos en uno solo"

May 24, 2021

5.0

Tener archivos comprimidos es algo que facilita mucho al momento de compartir proyectos, carpetas o cualquier otro tipo de información con otras personas, muy satisfecho

Pros

Comprimir archivos es una función muy genial, ya que constantemente estoy trabajando y colaborando con compañeros, y poder reunir muchos archivos en uno solo y poder transportarlo y compartirlo de esa manera es simplemente genial, es muy útil

Cons

La función de "extraer en" me resulta un poco molesta, en el sentido de que la ventana te da mucha información que casi no entiendes, sería genial simplificarla así de esa manera sería más fácil utilizarla

November 4, 2021

5.0

It has been my default program for dealing with compressed files for over 8 years, I just love it!

Pros

The program is very easy to use. with a click, you can compress a file to make it easier to send, or decompress a file. Another great feature is being able to extract an ISO image with Winrar. Also, the ability to encrypt files with a password is great. It is very light and doesn't take any storage at all.

Cons

The interface is a bit outdated. Other than that, I don't have any complaints.
