Apr 23, 2026Frustrated with Glitches and Lost Files
I downloaded SimplyRar for a simple task, but it crashed while extracting a large RAR file, corrupting the archive and losing my data. The interface feels clunky, and the password protection feature didn't work reliably when I tried it. For a free tool, the instability makes it more trouble than it's worth.

Apr 23, 2026Does the job, but feels a bit clunky
SimplyRar is perfectly fine for basic tasks like opening a RAR file someone sent me or making a simple ZIP archive. The drag-and-drop works, and you can't beat the price. However, the interface feels dated and a bit slow, and when I tried to split a large archive, the process seemed less intuitive than in other tools I've used.

Apr 18, 2026A Free Mess with Bugs and Frustration
Tried SimplyRar to extract a basic .rar file and it froze twice before finally working. The 'easy-to-use' interface is clunky, and it's way slower than even Windows' built-in tools. For a free app, it's not worth the hassle.

For a free and open-source tool, it handles all my basic archiving needs perfectly.
