Comments and Reviews
Still using Bandizip 6.25. I upgraded to the latest release briefly but it contains intrusive ads, so I removed it and reinstalled 6.25. Sad, really, as it's otherwise a nice application.
$1`7.99 for a "free" app? I don't think so. How can they get away with claiming it's "free" software?
Right? Why is it free for windows but not Mac?
Used to be nice, but they're just increasing ads more and more. It's just pile of ads now.
Surprisingly fast, and with a clean and nice UI. Highly recommended, since the free version already offers enough for most users.
Fast and upfront. Avoids the cuteness and complications of a lot of similar programs.
Unfortunately it is not ad free anymore.
Except in the paid version?
Modern Design. The free version includes ads, but I've never seen it except when I first installed it and updated it.
