Trying to open a zip file on your iPhone or iPad isn’t that easy, but with the help of WinZip, everything can be done effortlessly. Version 3.0 of WinZip has been made available on the iTunes store and you need to download it if you deal with plenty of archive files.

WinZip makes it easy to handle Zip and RAR files on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch! Whether you received a Zip or RAR file as an email attachment, or want to download and view the contents of a Zip and RAR file from the web, just “Open with WinZipâ€. Share with other iOS users in seconds with support for AirDrop.

You now have another reason to get it, as it has been redesigned for iOS 7 and full AirDrop support has been added. Besides this, WinZip Computing has enhanced the workflow of the app for better file management, and you can now delete and list 3 recently opened files. Also, there’s now the option of having direct email access to the helpdesk.

If you are a Dropbox user, you’ll be happy to learn that integration with the popular storage service has been added. This lets WinZip users add a new folder, as well as archive, unarchive and delete files in their Dropbox location. Once installed, you will be able to unzip major compressed file types, including .ZIP and .RAR on your iPhone, iPod or iPad and also view most common file types including: .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, .pptx, .pages, .numbers, .key, .rtf, .pdf, .jpg, .png, .bmp, .gif, .tif, and more.
