Comments on GZ & XZ Extract - File Opener for Android

★★★★★ Rareș Timotei Totolici · Aug 6, 2021

The app works as intended. They never said it works for zip or rar archives. It works for gz and xz archives. If you need to open a zip archive, this app is NOT for you. Great work dev, brilliant app, love how lightweight it is. 5/5.

★★★★★ Prajwal Warade · Mar 23, 2022

Extracted Os image file from .xz file successfully. Other apps(Achiever, RAR) would throw errors just before completion

★★★★★ Lunaa · Jul 6, 2022

Can this app read a tar file or can someone tell for what it is. Someone has sent me a file called tar, and I can't open it. Please if you can give me information about it. Thank you

★★★★★ Shaun Tedder · Jan 25, 2025

I'm really enjoying this app, I know what a zip and txt file is, but never heard of a gz, so just downloaded this app, it converts to txt files after opening and selecting a file type to open on. And the txt file still be there after deleting the gz, file for convenient storage. I prefer a sd memory card to convert on.

Requires "activation" to work. Probably sends your data over the internet to somewhere unknown. Super sketchy. Reply: then you are allowing full screen ads that pretend to be part of your app. Naughty, naughty. The "activation" was presented full screen, not in an ad box.

★☆☆☆☆ Brady Johnson · May 8, 2021

Ads on every tap. Fortunately you can dismiss them almost immediately. Unfortunately, this app does not always extract files. It eventually extracted a .gz file which produced a .tar file which it would not open even though it said it was opening it. I do not find this app useful.
