You can make archives by selecting the files/folders you want to archive, then long click on one of the files selected, and choose compress.

Though yes it can be improved. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yeah, any additional features/options for both compression and decompression would be really appreciated, since it seems there is a deficiency (at least with open source) of good archiving apps for Android. Maybe open source desktop apps like Ark or PeaZip could be good references for implementing more advanced features and handling more archive formats. It would be nice to make archives other than just .zips and specify level of compression or other settings.
