  • Marnes reviewed NanaZip  

    It's a fork of 7zip, updated with a more modern GUI (including dark theme), smart extraction options (automatic folder creation/elimination to always create exactly 1 new file/folder in the current path, and without double subfolder), and possibly under the hood improvements. Basically 7zip with updated UX and bandizip without the nag screens.

Comment summary: NanaZip integrates seamlessly with Windows 11 and is praised for its modern GUI, including dark mode, and improved context menu integration. Users appreciate its open-source nature and easy updates through the Microsoft Store. Many comments highlight its similarities to 7-Zip but with added features and better aesthetics. However, some users criticize the small font size and find the developer's approach off-putting, particularly regarding UI sponsorships.

Nice looking but more or less just a wrapper around 7-zip. Despite being a simple wrapper with some convenience features, the author acts like he's gods gift to file compression, and slaps a large sponsor button, ruining the ui, that can't be disabled, and becomes larger and uglier upon paying a ridiculous $99. Developer is self-righteous and very frustrating to deal with, and has a history of suppressing feedback and issues on the GitHub page.
