LOKHEED What is this? The first program made by Nazis? a) You can't buy a copy. You licence them based on 6 month, 1 year, and 2 year contracts. After that, your licence expires and you are left with a worthless program. Licensing is grossly overpriced too boot. $20 for a 6 month licence? I have a feeling many customers aren't going to catch the this and be plenty upset when their time's up. b) The demo is worthless. Tried to remove some cache files (that I ended up doing manually with 4 clicks) and it spit out a warning: You only have 200.0 left. 200 what? KBs? Because the files summed up to a whopping 86 MBs. Moreover, the program lists items as Kb and Mb... what am I slimming? KiloBYTES or Kilobits? Because they are very different... Sloppy coding. c) The program duplicates many free or far less expensive alternatives, but adds nothing of its own. The interface is tired, plain, and generally mundane. The features are lackluster and unlike XSlimer, provides no guard against rendering your program useless. Thank goodness for Apple's Time Machine. All in all, the price is the biggest failing. A way to milk the consumer without really giving back much. The features are boring and old. The delivery hackneyed and tired. Look elsewhere folks... there is absolutely nothing to see here!

MISTERHAPPY Hmmm... A whole bunch of comments from people who LOVE this program, who all write in broken English, who all signed up within two days of one another, and who have never reviewed anything else? Nothing fishy going on here. (Version 1.5.1) | |

THUS.SPAKE.Z LOL! Da, most of them appear to have Russian names and seem young...just like the developer and his staff. It seems that MacPaw & Co.(located in Kiev, Ukraine) have gotten their pals to post favorable comments about CleanMy Mac. I posted the following comment, here, on June 14th, '09...."Downloaded this but dunno how safe it is to use. CleanMyMac looks interesting but could potentially wreck my OS, and I don't need that aggravation. MacPaw's staff and developer(s) seem quite young and MacPaw has no track record. Don't know how responsible/reliable they are or how long they'll be around to support their software. Could become abandonware at some point? I think that I'll pass on this. Seems too risky. I don't feel at all comfortable about using it." I'd say that my Bullsht radar was quite right-on. I'd also say that MacPaw's integrity is questionable. Sorry, comrades! (Version 1.5.1) | |

SHMK +1 Come on if your app is actually any good let it stand on its own merits rather than flooding the board with positive comments. (Version 1.5.1) | |

KERINTH Same trend for this app at some of the other mac dl sites - many reviews from new users, all glowingly positive. I think it may be a counterproductive strategy, seeing as people may get scared off of this product just because it has an unrealistically enthusiastic fanbase. (Version 1.5.3) | |

SHMK What a joke a six month licensing fee? Lamest licensing scheme. ever. (Version 1.0.1) | |

PALADINO Judging from the pricing on the developer's website, the CleanMyMac app. Cannot be purchased outright; one purchases a license to use it.....$19.95 for 6 months use, 29.95 for 1 year's use and $49.95 for 2 years use. It also states, there, that there's a 50% discount currently available, but when tallying up the license fee, the discount price is not reflected, Anyway, I'd say that the licenses are overpriced so I'll pass on this. Should be only $19.95 to purchase the app with no license fee involved. Clean My Mac seems pretty handy and useful as well as being easy to use but it cost's too much at its current price point.

THOMASMAN You have been using old version of CleanMyMac. Bug with permissions was already fixed long time ago! (Version 1.4) | |

GRAFIQDESIGNER81 I have been using Xslimmer for about a year and a half (about as long as I've had my Macbook) and it seems to be very careful about what it does knowing that some programs do not function well when architecture code is wiped from them. Some programs are automatically blacklisted by the app...perhaps the developers know enough not to mess with these. At anyrate, I use Xslimmer pretty often...especially when I've had a productive week of installing various apps from websites like this one. However, CleanMyMac seems to have found a ton of programs that I thought were slimmed down as far as they could go. So when I ran a scan with Xslimmer and nothing showed up...so I unchecked "ignore unslimmable apps" and scanned again. This time all the same apps popped up...but they were blacklisted or all slimmed down...meaning if you used CleanMyMac to "slim" them down...they might not work well (or at all) and CleanMyMac doesn't tell you this could affect the applications negatively when you perform the process. I'd be very careful with this app. Either CleanMyMac is actually doing a better, more thorough job of slimming than Xslimmer, or it's doing a more reckless job of slimming than Xslimmer. I don't think I'll be the guinea pig for that experiment. I have enough problems with my computer at the moment to try and figure that one out. (Version 1.0) | |

PERSON1229 Ask yourself: "What's with all these five star reviews from people who have no other history?" Ask yourself: "Is a developer who uses unscrupulous tactics to mask their program with a false rating really in it for the user?" The choice is yours. I'd go with Onyx personally. (Version 1.5) | |

CHRISWAN Despite the ridiculous licensing scheme and glowing artificial reviews which mostly seems to came from fellow countrymen, this app is actually keeps improving. Special thanks to Oleksandr Kosovan (MacPaw Team Leader) for his awesomeness, I'm a big admirer!!! (Version 1.5) | |

CHRISWAN Real reviews from real people: http://forum.macpaw.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=9 http://forum.macpaw.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=618 nice product, bad pricing; Could sell TONS more if the pricing scheme is restructured (no more software rental for something which only going to be used once in a while) (Version 1.5) | |

KOMTOM And again; you do not buy (or own) the program! Its a 19.95 dollar 6 month subscription of an app with functionalities easily found on freeware!! That's what I call expensive! (Version 1.4) | |
