They have come to existence in 1997 and their intention was to bring a world-class free product. They have succeeded in their mission and ZipGenius still remains as free software. Their success was largely attributed to the fact they kept their software as free over the years.
Some free software come with few other traps like spyware or ads. ZipGenius claims that they have always stayed away from such tricks. This means you won’t find any annoying advertisement on the software or hidden spyware.
Its layout and navigation is as simple as it gets. It doesn’t matter whether you are an experienced or inexperienced user, you’ll find easy navigation throughout. One of the best graphical user interfaces I must say.
