CoolZipper 2014.902.1344.5853
Among the specialized utilities developed to cater to this need, CoolZipper is a tool that is built to deal with a single type of archive, ZIP, the most commonly encountered one on all platforms.
Dull and uncomplicated front-end
This application will certainly not impress anyone through its looks, as its interface is very plain and monotonous, lacking any element that could be considered even remotely visually appealing.
The layout could have hardly been made any simpler, still, it manages to display the necessary information in a fairly organized manner. There are some flashing advertisement banners displayed inside the GUI, which can become quite bothersome after a few minutes.
Fast compression and decompression of ZIP archives
Since CoolZipper is evidently focused only on practicality, it succeeds when it comes to providing a very simple procedure for handling the target compressed packages.
There are two main functions inside the interface and you can select the desired action with one tap, then browse to the target files and have them unzipped or zipped on the spot.
The operation is completed quite fast, with no visible delays, unless the type cannot be handled at all, in which case the app will close automatically after displaying a fleeting error message.
Detailed information about the process at a glance
CoolZipper uses a single location for storing the unpacked files, namely the picture library on your handset, so all you will have to do is browse to the "Photos" folder and pick the corresponding album to see the decompressed items.
The utility also shows a summary of the process it carries out, whether it is a packing or an unpacking task, so you will see the source and destination file or folder names, as well as the number of items that were zipped or unzipped.

Bottom Line
Design / UI2
The interface of this app is downright ugly, with nothing inside it that catches the eye, except for the continuously changing and annoying adverts. |
Function8
This utility works pretty well and without delays for both unpacking and packing operations, but the password protected archives are not supported. |
Security9
CoolZipper is pretty safe to use as it only needs to access system areas that are strictly related with its functionality. |
Battery9
Such a simple tool has a power consumption to befit it, a barely noticeable one to be more precise, so the battery usage remains very low. |
Price6
The utility has some advantages on its side, like the ability to access OneDrive files or the fast processing, but its value decreases because of the shortcomings and due to the fact that there are far better similar apps out there. |
Compatibility7
This application is only made to work under Windows Phone 8.1, so the number of users who can have it installed is fairly limited at this time. |
