8 Zip is a feature rich file archiver that is available for Windows Phone and Windows 8 devices. The app allows you create, open and manage a wide range of archive formats.
The app also supports transparent Live Tiles and theme customizations to give 8 Zip a personal touch. 8 Zip is also this week's myAppFree deal, which can save you a good bit on this Windows Phone and Windows 8 app.
Cutting to the chase, here are the key features of 8 Zip.
- Create archive file in a variety of formats that include ZIP, 7z, TAR, GZIP, BZIP2 and XZ

The Windows Phone version of 8 Zip is normally priced at $3.99 and the Windows 8 version at $9.99. Through the myAppFree deal, both versions are now free for the next 24 hours. If you've been on the fence on picking up a copy of 8 Zip, now is the time to save a bundle.
Note: 8 Zip is already reflecting the myAppFree deal but it may take a bit before the game appears in the myAppFree app. Additionally, you may have to pick up the free Windows Phone version first, before the Windows 8 version becomes free.
