Dazzle for Mac

Dazzle now seems to have disappeared and become MacCleanse 5 from koingosw.com.

<font><font>dopo un approfondito utilizzo di dazzle su mavericks ho dovuto reinstallare molte applicazioni.
dazzle è un'app pessima e pericolosa</font></font>

mi sembra una buona applicazione. la sto confrontando con cleanmymac, maccleanse e macboost. per ora posso solo dire che ho dovuto reinstallare total finder. vedremo

Overall, this app is very promising but I was probably naive to put so much trust in its first release. I happened to be looking at my dwindling disk space when the offer for Dazzle arrived in my inbox. The interface seemed very professional and I started using the features and watching the disk space increase. Then big problems; I think maybe due to the binaries feature? For whatever reason, many of my applications stopped working. They just would not open. Deleting preference files didn't help. I got a few applications working by downloading and reinstalling (e.g. 1Password) .... after using Dazzle to uninstall! Another app was successfully fixed by copying from a back up (Keynote). But lots of the native apps were also wrecked - e.g. Preview, Stickies, and App Store (made it hard to reinstall other apps). MacOS would not let me overwrite them so I've resorted to a full system restore and that seems to have me back in action. The developer's website states the interface is completely intuitive and therefore no instructions are necessary! I agree the interface is good but I would like some clarification. What do the red and green colours in the "Cleanup" screen signify? And in the Duplicates section, are the ticked items destined to be deleted or are they ticked to indicate they will be kept? Kind of important to be certain but without any instructions .....

I have tried many similar software programs and used Macleanse until their latest version. I believe ver.4. It had so many bugs I lost all confidence in safely using it. I finally bought CleanMyMac 2 and have been very satisfied. Today, I decided to try Dazzle and found Dazzle found many files such as language files over looked by CleanMy Mac 2. In just a short time it became apparent Dazzle was searching with greater depth and accuracy. I have decided to purchase Dazzle. Though gun shy from my experience with MacCleanse, my impression is Dazzle is safe and seems to do a great job finding binaries, language files and other items not found by CleanMyMac 2. Dazzle is not as fast as CleanMyMac 2 and at least for now my plan is to keep both and actively use and continue to compare. As a first release, however, compared to a program now on version 2 one must realize Dazzle has done a great job out of the gate. I look forward to really good things from Dazzle and appreciate what they have done so far.
