Being able to unzip email attachments from your iPhone or iPad is one of those things you don’t realise you need until you actually get an email with ZIP files attached – usually right before the important meeting that you need those files for.
In the off-chance this ever happens, having WinZip on your iOS device can save your bacon; even if you aren’t the last-minute-meeting kind of worker, the fact that it’s free and only takes up 1MB of storage makes it worth a download “just in case”.
WinZip can open ZIP and RAR files from email attachments and webmail interfaces, and it comes with a built-in viewer for the most common file types like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, TXT and RTF.
For other file types (or for editing the supported file types), WinZip gives you the option of opening them in the compatible iOS app.
