Hello! Hope you are fine. There is definitely confusion with the naming here. This product, called App Cleaner & Uninstaller, used to be called App Cleaner (note the space between the p and the C). As I mentioned below, I use the excellent free program App Cleaner (no space), and does the job very well. Not sure why anyone would pay $15 for this product. It might be a good product, but the free program I mentioned is excellent. Thankss

I made 2 posts below regarding AppCleaner and this product. Would be good to see some current comments about App Cleaner & Uninstaller. IN fact, if someone has used both products, a comparison would be ideal.

I use the excellent Free app AppCleaner, and it works very well. There are times it does not find every file associated with an app. But for me, no problemo! I just subsequently launch another excellent free app EasyFind, and use it to find any more remaining files. AppCleaner and EasyFind: definitely a winning (and Free!) combination!

Good app. But $15/month for something I use only a few times per year!!?? Ridiculous!! I'll stick with the old "pay once" app as long as I can, then trash it. Give me the updated app for maybe a one-time payment of $5 or I'm done with you.

subscription $15 a year it's pretty much anyone can afford. BUT if we will keep supporting them with this model, then pretty soon other software developers will jump the bandwagon. And so, the aspects of society will follow as well. You'll have no more an option to own a house or a condominium, apartment, a car. Everything will be according to the dystopian ideas of the owners of WEF(world economic forum) - "you will own nothing". There are other better and right options, on the right hand side.

The software does not cost 14.95 once, but annually. Please adjust once for a Mac 34.95 and bye bye nektony. I was a loyal customer and am also willing to double the price with a good deinstallation which costs but without an upgrade path is cheeky. There are too many other tools for that, maybe not better, but free.

There's a version 8 out now. And yes, it's subscription based. Seems this dev also try to leech loyal costumers asking an unfair amount of money every year. Tip: uninstall the app using the FREE CCleaner. Not a trace of the app to be found afterwards....

App Cleaner is competitive. It won't harm your system, although I did find that the old way of indexing the Mail file once rendered the mail app functionless and I couldn't open it anymore. The new settings are similar to CleanMyMac. It's an alternative to Clean My Mac X without the bloat and silly functionality. There is no background monitor eating 65% of your ram like CleanMyMac either. :-)

After using MacCleaner Pro for several days, I did not like it and requested a refund. My request was denied. Being used to 30-day money-back policies, I was surprised by this attitude.

This is not a review per se, it is a discussion of the class of software
to which this program belongs. As a public service to the MacUpdate
community, I've found as many of these "cleaner" apps on this website as
I could and listed them them below. (I did a search for 'cleaner'.) If
MacUpdate will let me, I intend to post this every time a new or updated
version of one of these things shows up on this site. There are 38 in
the list, and it seems like new entries in the 'Mac cleaner' market
space pop up every day, metastasizing like a cancer. Unfortunately, more
is not better. They are all of dubious value. Many have no reviews at
all. Many have what look to be essentially fake 5-star reviews with no
useful commentary. Many -- probably the most accurate and honest -- have
negative reviews, by users who have been burned by them. Most of the
developers' descriptions boast about what a great job they do, but the
truth is, there are no good, comprehensive, head-to-head reviews of
these programs by impartial 3rd parties. True experts in macOS
maintenance advise against using any of them, because in general they
serve little useful purpose and they can easily do more harm than good.
Macs simply do not need "cleaning." (See for example:
https://www.thesafemac.com/the-myth-of-the-dirty-mac/) Some of these
programs are notorious for being little more than malware. The user is
well-advised to read any program documentation and make a RELIABLE
BACKUP before attempting any changes. If I have missed any programs that
should be on the list, please leave a comment and let me know. I will
rate all these programs with one star, probably one more than they
deserve. And I would appreciate comments. If you disagree, please speak
up. But if all you can come up with is 5 stars and a sentence or two
saying that program X is great and I don't know what I'm talking about,
please save your breath. No one here will take you seriously. And I
apologize for the almost unreadable formatting, a severe limitation of
MacUpdate itself, which compresses maximum text into minimum space,
leaving no whitespace for readability. :: BEGIN LIST: : Aooro : App

are 1) TinkerTool System, a true bargain priced at only $14 for a single
license. TinkerTool System is a an exceptional piece of quality
engineering, safe when used properly, and superbly documented, with
in-depth tutorials for every option. 2) OnyX, from Titanium
Software, another excellent developer. 3) I have used Northern Softworks' "Cache Cleaners" in the past (the latest being "Catalina Cache Cleaner," which I have not used) and their products are first rate. As for the rest, listed above, it is safe
to say that nobody who really knows what they're doing with Macs and
macOS will touch them. Don't get sucked in by a pretty interface. You
may very well regret it. -SB

Lacks a 7.0 discount for owning the previous 6.0 version. I'll increase stars when that happens. Otherwise, I'm sticking with 6.
