Racing ZIP RAR 1.0.0.8
Nonetheless, there are some tools that can alleviate some of the main issues, especially those related to the extraction of packed files and the creation of archives.
Racing ZIP RAR is one of the utilities that attempts to make it easier for you to open compressed items and also help you pack files and create new archives of your own.
Pleasant layout and graphics
This utility offers a clean layout, with some carefully designed graphics that make it nice to look at and comfortable to use. The nice background and the inspired color scheme complement the visuals to make it quite attractive.
Browsing the several areas of the app is fluent and the contents of the archives appears promptly, with no delays, except for the packages stored online, where you will notice a slight lag caused by the fact that the files have to be downloaded first before being put on display.
There are some flashing advertisement banners displayed inside the front-end, which can become quite bothersome after a few minutes.
Extract archives with a couple of taps
The great thing about Racing ZIP RAR is that it was made to handle a good deal of formats, so besides the ones that are clearly outlined in its name, the app is able to work with almost a dozen more kinds of archives.
With the help of this application you will be able to easily browse the local storage or peek into your OneDrive account to look for and open compressed files on the spot, so you can check out the packaged content.
All you have to do is specify the output location and, optionally, allow the utility to generate a new folder where all the selected files will be stored.
Pack files and folders with custom profiles
When it comes to the compression function, Racing ZIP RAR offers two separate choices, namely one for archiving selected files and another one for packing entire folders.
The output options are easy to configure and you can specify not only the output location and archive name, but also choose the format and even opt for protecting the compressed content with a password.
From the "Settings" menu of the app you can choose the default options that will be used for the packing and unpacking operations, so the profile comes into effect automatically, each time you start one of the supported operations.
