May 26, 2026Solid Compression Tool with Some Quirks
BetterZip handles most of my basic compression needs reliably and integrates well with the Mac Finder. However, the interface feels a bit dated compared to newer apps, and I've had occasional issues with large RAR files that it claims to support. The price is fair for the core functionality, but the experience isn't as smooth as I'd hoped.

BetterZip has completely replaced the built-in Archive Utility on my Mac. It handles all the formats I need, like ZIP and TAR, and the interface is clean and intuitive. Features like password-protecting archives and quickly previewing files before extraction save me so much time. It's well worth the price for how reliable and feature-packed it is.

May 13, 2026Frustrating and buggy, wouldn't recommend
BetterZip has been a constant headache on my M1 Mac. It frequently crashes when extracting large archives, and the encryption feature corrupted one of my important project files. The interface is simple, but that doesn't matter if the core functionality fails. For the price, it's just not reliable software.
