Winzip comes for free on Android

Winzip is a historical name in the panorama of programs for PC that has always accompanied the users in the management of zip archives. Software that has given way to more complete 7zip or other alternatives but that is still appreciated by many PC users.Now the program also comes to Android, and although app has to fight with other similar, surely he can find an excellent catchment area just for the name and fame it has.

The program allows you to open and view files. Zip even if encrypted (AES128 and AES 256) and save it to the clipboard. The program supports various formats including:

• Photos and images (.jpg, .jpeg, .png, .bmp, .gif)
• Text files (.rtf, .csv, .txt, .ini, .inf, .bat, .js, .log, .xml, .css, .java, .cs, .h, .m, .cpp, .c, .sql, .properties)
• Web files (.htm, .html, .jsp, .asp)
• Apk files (.apk)

WinZip for Android works with 3rd-party apps to open:

• Word documents (.doc, .docx)
• Excel spreadsheets (.xls, .xlsx)
• PowerPoint presentations (.ppt, .pptx)
• PDF files (.pdf)

So interesting that a program is both limited by the format alone. zip archives. A limit that has also on Windows and one of the reasons for which today is abandoned for the most comprehensive programs and can handle several archives.

Unfortunately, even in this case, the low-end devices with 256 MB of RAM memory can not install the application.

The application can be downloaded for free from the WP Marketplace.
