This is an awesome app if you need to extract a bunch of archives. Highly configurable. Glad to see the author continues to tinker with it. Use it often.

Works alright, but I prefer Universal Extractor (more formats supported).
The installer showed a blank "special offer" page, and left a process called bi_installer.exe running and using the network. That process later installed a "Fast Free Converter" and a "Bundled Software uninstaller" that I never approved of, and set itself to run at every startup.

Decided to look at it once more see if the author got a clue and removed OpenCandy and at first it looked like he/she did but when I went to install it (I love virtualmachines) ESet NOD found OpenCandy again. So I deleted that virtual machine.
I don't have any problems with anyone wanting to make some money with their hard work and creations but this is the wrong way to go.
So as a result I have to recommend that everyone stay away from ExtractNow and look at other alternatives, 7-zip is a good place to start looking.

Not meant to be a replacement for apps like Winrar or 7Zip. Where it excels is opening a large number of archives in specific situations. Occasionally in my job I need to open a large number of uploaded files in many sub folders. ExtractNow does this with complete ease, being both simple and customizable enough to make it an indispensable tool for me.

Yeah it IS. Funny thing just use uni extractor on it. That way you can delete the open candy crap it tries to install which btw is why it wants internet access if you stupidly install it.
Who needs it anyways. Peazip, 7zip, winrar, and FreeArc, my favorite, are ALL portable and do way more.
On the other hand, it says it can monitor a folder for automatic extraction although I could not get it to work in portable mode
Kinda ridiculous that a small archive extractor that's portable needs installation just for open candy crap. Spare us ALL

dhry reviewed v4.44 on Jun 6, 2010
Okay program, but pointless for anyone who already has an archiver installed. I have 7-Zip installed. It already gives me a context menu to extract pretty much all the archive formats that this program supports. Batched extraction is a good idea, but it's not often that I want to extract more than a single archive at a time. I'd suggest simply getting an archiver and not an extract-only program like this, otherwise you'll simply blow out your context menu size needlessly.

I'm not sure what the complaints below are about. Evidently the software author continues to try to improve this fine software, and some folks don't like that. Do they, perhaps, have there own software for the same purpose and they don't want to fix their own?
By the way, there was a bad bug in 4.31, but the author had the problem fixed the next day. Congratulations on your efforts, and, as far as I am concerned, you can update this every hour if you find something that makes it better.

Wow so you can't even create archives, LOL! Does it actually decompress both files at once or does it do one and then the other in a queing fashion?

I prefer Alpha ZIP because it integrates not only with the Windows-Shell, but also with Windows-Explorer which is genious (archive folders of all kinds just open in Explorer and let you play with them as if it were just ordinary folders).
Alpha ZIP is the only program so far (to my humble knowledge that can do this).

Before my review a question for davewalden. Why post a review for a program you didn't install? If it doesn't extract the files you need then fine, so be it, but don't write a review for it w/o trying it first. go on and write a review for a program you've actually installed and TRIED!!! With that being said....
GREAT little program. It does what it says and it's actually convienant then running winrar (or winzip, etc) 4,5 or even 6 times to extract multiple files.

For the Win9x haters, the addition of unicode is very small. It's a very capable o.s., open-source has proven such, the only limits are bound by drivers, even then it's a plenty Robust Platform for the average user:internet and media, it handles both well.
As for this, all it does it extract, and it doesn't even do it that productively.
7-zip is compatible with all extracting formats this has, with alot more features, a full-fledged archiver in fact, while smaller than this! C'mon, guys! If you develop more in api and use stuff like upx compressor, you could make this 25% it's current size. IF you don't wanna do it, make this open-source then, I'll do it myself.
For size larger than 7zip with less productivity, 3/5.

Sorry to say but iso and bin aren't archives, they're cd/dvd images. Normally you don't need to unpack them, as you can mount them with daemon tools or alcohol. It even confuse sometimes, as my friend not very good with computers, first unpacked rars, and then he though he should unpack iso too, because it got icon of winrar....
He didn't know how to record with alcohol what he just exctracted. So i think they should leave iso and bin, and focus on more important things. As for SIT extension its very good this program can unpack these files.

spiked reviewed v4.18 on May 15, 2006
7-Zip gained the ability to extract ISO within days after coover's review below, so ISO was a bad example to choose, but SIT has been unique to ExtractNow for a long time. I would not use ExtractNow as my primary archiver, but I keep it around for SIT (StuffIt, commonly used on Mac). There is only one other free extractor for SIT on Win32, but you can't get it until after you download a bloated trial for a commercial product, install it, then tolerate its nagging until the end of the trial!
coover reviewed v4.16 on May 1, 2006
The previous reviews calling Extract Now "useless" are absolutely rubbish. Yes, WinRAR and 7-Zip are great software and, in some ways, easier to work with than Extract Now, though a small child could properly and easily use Extract Now with virtually no instruction. Just how easy do you need an application to be? But beyond the ease issue, it really isn't fair to compair a shareware application like WinRAR with a freeware application like Extract Now. And 7-Zip, while also freeware, cannot extract some of the file extensions that Extract Now can. Try, for example, to extract an .iso or a .bin file with 7-zip. It can't be done.
That is why I have both Extract Now AND 7-Zip in my toolbox. Extract Now is sometimes better, and 7-Zip is sometimes better. And for what Extract Now does better than 7-Zip, it gets a 5.
By the way, I also could use WinRAR, but feel that with great applications like Extract Now and 7-Zip, I don't need to buy WinRAR. "Oh", you say, you didn't buy WinRAR either, but you use it because the software doesn't stop you from using it, even after the 30 day trial period? You are a thief!
ModderXManiac reviewed v4.16 on May 1, 2006
I agree with the last user, on all the other apps I've used, they have a simple right-click extract; 7-zip, winrar, powerarchiver, while in this; you're required to OPEN it and drag the archive file into the window. It's slow and less productive than the simple right-click approach.
However, it's small, and it does what it does well, extracting on ExtractNow is quite fast. It's a very new program, but I find it very useless with 7-zip and/or winrar doing the same # of functions and lots more.
Banquo reviewed v4.15 on Apr 22, 2006
You can extract multiple archives with WinRAR, Winzip, Powerarchiver, any of those programs. Just highlight the files, right click and extract. Much simpler than opening this program, dragging files to it and clicking extract. That's just ridiculous. It does what it says so I can't give it a low rating for being useless, but it really is.
coover reviewed v4.15 on Apr 21, 2006

Tokar reviewed v4.13 on Apr 5, 2006
Obviously it lacks archive creation, but as purely an archive extractor its very nice and keeps things organized. The only major difference between this extraction process and say WinRAR's is this: If you have an archive in one folder and another in another folder and wish to extract them in queue, you can do it with ExtractNow but not with WinRAR. You can only do them one at a time, or simultaneously with more than one WinRAR.exe process. ExtractNow can do it all in one process, with a queue. So nice...
But on the other hand, if all you do is extract archives that are in ONE folder, then you really don't need ExtractNow as WinRAR and ZipGenius and all those programs can extract archives in the same folder using one process and a queue (highlight all archives, right click and tell it to extract to separate folders).

Honestly speaking the new version makes no sense. This kind of tool should support as many formats as possible.
What the author says about it?
"Why does version 3.60 support more archive types then 4.0?
When I developed ExtractNow 3.60, I would include into it almost every feature request that users would email me, not thinking about how complex the project would get in the process. With version 4.0 I decided to trim down ExtractNow and remove the more complex and cumbersome code required to maintain specific archive types."
Well, I prefer XAce for extracting ACE files (ExtractNow does not support them anymore) and 7-Zip for the rest (extracting and archiving).
