RAR displays advertising to cover development costs. You can pay in options menu to turn off ads. RAR requests access to network, viewing network connections and billing to display or disable ads. “Install unknown apps” permission is requested, so .apk files can be started
from RAR in Android 8+.

User Reviews/Opinion:
- Thanks for the response. I have already done that. Cleared the default and also to the point of completely deleting the “used to be” default app that always opens this type of file and then restart phone and try to use rar. But now it doesn’t do anything. The app option list to open that file doesn’t come up at all. Not sure why. Used to work beautifully. Just tried ZArchiver, and it’s working fine opening these epub files, in case anyone else experiencing same issue. I have also reinstalled RAR
- This is RAR and that is good. How ever you cant create forlder in the app to extract to and that is dumb! You have to use an aditional app to create a forlder to save compressed contents to!?! Needs to bw fixed. This kind of BS is why I hate mobile OS!
- Too! Many! Ads! It’s DISGUSTING how app developers can take something free & working on PC, and then turn it into an ad-riddled hellscape, FORCING you to pay their *yearly* fee JUST to keep from having an ad thrown in your face everytime you want to actually use it. Save yourself the time & effort & find a better app.
