Accessibility and User Comments:
“Unboxr” is a simplistic app intended for extracting compressed files, with support for several formats, including password-protected archives.
The UI is straightforward, with an “Open Folder” button that, when tapped, takes you to your phone’s internal storage, where you can choose the location containing the file you want to extract. The app also appears among the apps that can handle these file types, so you can select supported files from a file manager without using the dedicated button in the app.
In the top-right corner, there is a “Settings” button where you can customize the app. The customization options are quite limited, though. The Settings section also includes a donation option at the very bottom of the screen labeled “Buy me a coffee”
The app is completely free and contains no ads.
The app is very minimalistic. I noticed that it is not possible to make the app ask you where you want the contents to be saved every time you extract a file, despite the presence of an “Always ask” option in Settings, which, based on its explanation, should enable this behavior. Instead, to select the output directory, you have to specify it through the “Default destination folder” option.
When it comes to accessibility, I didn’t encounter any issues with the app.
