WinRAR (RAR) for Android

The most popular archiver for Windows is also available on mobile platforms. You can download WinRAR for your Android phone or tablet for free. The developers decided to not take money from users for their archiver, and are distributing it freely, but have included some advertising in it as a kind of compensation.

WinRAR for Android has a simple interface that looks like a classic file manager. On the top panel there are buttons for creating, unpacking, and deleting an archive and buttons for accessing the archiver menu.
