RAR for Android
What RAR for Android is
RAR for Android is an Android app for creating and unpacking archives, backing up files, and handling basic file management. It creates RAR and ZIP archives, including multivolume archives, and extracts RAR, ZIP, ZIPX, TAR, GZ, BZ2, XZ, 7z, ISO and ARJ files. It can open password-protected and multipart RAR archives, repair damaged ZIP and RAR files, and work with recovery records and recovery volumes. Archives can be password-protected with AES 256-bit encryption. Its file tools can copy, delete, move and rename files and folders, create folders, and install APK packages. The product page lists Android 4.4 and later as compatible. The app is free and ad-supported, with a paid ad-free option available; the listed free plan costs nothing. RARLAB says the core archiving module does not collect personal information or send locally stored file names, paths or archive passwords off the device. Its privacy policy says Analytics and Firebase may collect usage data and device identifiers, while Crashlytics collects crash information such as stack traces and Instance IDs. The app integrates Google AdMob, Google Analytics, Firebase and Firebase Crashlytics. Support is available by email at [email protected].
