Wow, it's great to have this developer's assurance that "CleanApp 3 is now completely Leopard-compliant and runs smoothly on Mac OS X 10.5." But how does it run on the other two major versions of OS X that have come out since Leopard was retired nearly three years ago?

The logging service does not work after the last update. I've checked and I have the latest update.

Here's what happens:
I drag an application to the trash.
CleanApp launches and a sheet drops down stating:
An incompatible version of CleanApp's Logging Service
has been detected.
Please update your Logging Service.
I click on "Update Logging"
A sheet drops down stating:
Error in authorization. Process aborted.

I click "ok", then open preferences where I see
"Incompatible with tis CleanApp version."

I click on "Update Logging" and once again
a sheet drops down stating:
Error in authorization. Process aborted.

This software is promising. I was using the free clean application MacCleaning. It works well to clean the files and logs, but it cannot remove the useless applications. CleanApp is the answer.

It used to work properly before Lion, but not anymore. Relics just sucks and reports some plist.lockfiles as identifiers of already deleted applications which are not true.

It "finds" my user folder on another partition to clean caches etc. Not Many Cache Cleaner Apps do this.
This feature is a big +

I decided to give CleanApp another (although it is prone to misidentifying a lot of files) because I'd been using it for a long time and like it.

I'm running 10.7.2 and have run CleanApp twice to see what my disk usage is on an external backup drive. Both times it crashed.

It also doesn't detect when I drag an application to the trash. I have to launch CleanApp and drag the app's icon into the window for it to work.

I can't delete this friggin thing from my system!

Even after I ttry: sudo launchctl remove com.synium.cleanappdaemon, I still find messages like -- com.apple.launchd[1] (com.synium.cleanappdaemon[3727]) posix_spawn("/Library/Application Support/CleanApp/CleanApp Daemon.app/Contents/MacOS/CleanApp Daemon", ...): No such file or directory

well if there is no such, then why is this still in my console? I dunno what gives, but I wish I never tried it out...

because messages like this:

com.apple.launchd[1] (com.synium.cleanappdaemon[3688]) Exited with exit code: 1
10/16/11 4:40:16 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.synium.cleanappdaemon) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds

just make me nervous!

Cleanapp has the function named logging service that keeps tracking the generations of sub-folders of any applications installed.

But after I started the function, I didn't see Cleanapp show in the menu of login items in users & groups in system preference.

So even if Cleanapp doesn't show in the menu, the logging service still works? Should i choose Cleanapp into the menu?

anyone knows about it?

THX!!

version 3.4.5 , PPC --- huge logging issue.

Replaced the app with version 3.4.4 from my backups. Re-installed logger with version 3.4.4 ---- seems to have successfully recovered from the 345 bug without having to get into preference files/ support files.

I've found the same result in trying to trim PPC code from a 64-bit application (using a different program than CleanApp). Apparently, the slimming algorithm removes everything except the 32-bit Intel code. I wonder if developers of these types of utilities will be able to make them work properly with 64-bit apps down the road.

Same thing happens to me. So I quit the "logging service" and THEN started the DB cleaning. It WORKED w/o crashing, BUT it had not finished cleaning going on 2+ hrs... why is it taking soooo long to clean/compact a 10MB file? This part of the program really has to be refined.

STRob had trouble on 06 Aug 2008
Latest version has become almost useless to me. Logging takes 75-100% cpu and usually shows as not responding, slowing my Mac down to a crawl. CleanApp itself will sometimes not launch if the logging is running.

More things than ever are now showing up as related items which have nothing to do with the application being deleted.

This is disappointing. I notified the developer but this time my email has gone unanswered. Their support site forum said that they will fix the daemon but that was back on 7/12.

3.0b8 seem MUCH better that 7. No more problems with daemon. So far everything seems to work as it should.

SERIOUS! "memory leak" noticed by the cleanapp daemon in the Activity Monitor app. Don't know if this is due to unusually slowwww journaling of recently installed apps. Nevertheless have to discontinue trying this out until this fixed.
