Does not allow you to re-add applications listing at all after removing them. Uninstalling doesn't work. Cleaning the app (via app uninstaller) does not fix it. This should not be a problem, but it is a terrible flaw entirely.
The most wonderful app you'll ever have in history! This is the next step in the future of multigesture touch devices. It's almost relaxing to be able to use just one hand for everything. You can have tons of custom gestures, either by app or over everything. It's really neat that you can backup your gestures too. There is still room for improvement, but you won't notice most of the time. Works Perfectly for Lion (10.7.3).
You can't change the name into another language unless you do it manually. Also, I can't change the name of locked apps. (such as app store, mail, etc.)
The language I'm specifically trying to use is Japanese. Every time I type something in the program, the text doesn't appear.
Pretty good app that basically re-defines how much data something takes. I'm not sure if this is correct, and I can't remember where I found this info, but according to [source] the Mac OS defines data storage larger than it actually is. I believed it was said to be as 1,256kb for 1mb instead of 1,000kb for 1mb. (and so forth.) This person made a terminal command that re-programs that definition, and offered it freely. (If I find that source againI will reply here.)
Now, this app isn't worth it for people who regularly keep 100G+ of free space on their HD. (assuming it is 250G). It is very useful, works on Lion (10.7.3), but is selective in how much data it saves you. (based on the file type.) For a better idea if you really need this, look this up on youtube. you may have to search "squeeze" (which is what it used to be called apparently.)
This app certainly seems like it wasn't easy to make, but overall it should offer better features for the price they charge.
Now, this DOES take plenty of CPU power (about 1-30%). (you can monitor with the free "istat" menu for dashboard.) You can tell it what folders you want it to compress and which ones not to. Or you can add an entire directory ("desktop" for example).
For an idea of how much data you can save, it depends on how much data of certain files you have. The most it will save on is apps, docs, txt, rtf, etc. The Least you will save on is videos and picture files.
Nice overall, but comines some functions that would be free otherwise. Not worth $20, absolutely certain of that. It would be better at $10, unless they came up with lots more functions.
One thing that I wish weren't there.. why would you want to post your cleaning results on fb or twitter?? The main screen should be something much more productive.
There are some setting that don't seem to be controlled in an obvious way. (such as which language files to keep.)
There doesn't seem to be a way to scan individual things, such as junk files only.
Sometimes while scanning, it *seems* to be slow.
This isn't something that you'd want to run everyday, maybe every week. Because of that, the value is way off.
Anyway, unless free space is of a major concern to you, this app is a waste of your time.
Tis not worth $15 for certain, but I would love to see it for $5. Why? how often do people install apps? This is like a one-time use only, unless you need to re-install the OS. Also, this is strictly for apps only. Apps that people have paid who knows how much for.
On average, this app deletes about 100mb of data for every Gig of apps. (more or less). If I already have tons of free space, why should I pay $15 for maybe 2G more? I could buy a flash drive with more space per gig.
Hello, could you make it possible to have a downloadable database or back-up of the language files? (to restore them).
Or if there's already a special way to do that I'd love to know.
This app does several things you may not understand what it does. Before you buy it, you should look at the trial and see if it's worth having. There are plenty of free apps that have several of these functions, but not all. At the least, I can say it's good for purging ram. (even though you can use terminal for it, terminal seems to take longer.)
There are some files it can't delete in the "delete locked files: function. For example, if a file if stopped in the middle of a transfer, it's difficult to find a way to delete it.
The maintenance scheduler is nice, but not very customizable.
For the most part, I would say it would be worth about $10 max. unless you can make the best use of everything offered, it isn't worth the $15. It would be nice if there were a "light" $5 version.
What you see is what you get. You can't change when exactly it'll save to disk or ram for sleep. For example, if I want it to sleep in 1 hour and hibernate in 2, I can't do that. The battery basically has to be dead for it to activate. Otherwise you manually do it. You can make it run in the background, but it won't turn on by itself unless you set it in the system preferences.

It also crashed for some reason. (Lion 10.7.3)

This app is nice, but not completely worth it.
