What do you like best about CleanMyMac?

Not to sound like an overhyped salesperson, but this software makes using my Mac so much more enjoyable. I love that the software clears up my RAM, which allows me to unfreeze some programs or at least speed through other processes. It's also really good at helping to clean up my drives, external and internal. I love that it stays on my top bar next to my clock, and I can easily access it, especially since my computer is giving me issues. While I am not the biggest fan of purchasing software, this was worth the price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CleanMyMac?

I don't particularly appreciate that when they update the program, the interface always looks inappropriate on the computer. For example, some items don't fit on my screen, and there's no way for me to zoom out or zoom in when clicking it from my bar. Essentially, that may be the only issue I have with the software. It works wonders for my MacBook Pro and my external hard drive, so it's hard for me to see what I don't like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering CleanMyMac:

My best recommendation is actually about the activation. Make sure you store that activation code in a safe place because if you ever need to reinstall it, you're going to need an activation code to benefit from all of the beautiful features CleanMyMac X provides. I would also recommend regularly opening the interface and getting familiar with the different sections. Since my purchase, the company has updated the GUI several times, and if you're not familiar, you can get lost. Also, don't hesitate to click around and try to explore a few of the features. But be careful about confirming or processing certain activities because they're irreversible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CleanMyMac solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am solving the problem of work overload or lag time. Because I do so much media editing and work with my chrome browser, my computer goes into overtime and overdrive. Clean my Mac X allows me to control how much load is put on my laptop. Frequently, I need programs that are running in the background, and they use a lot of RAM. This program helps me reduce the amount of excess RAM being used and therefore keeps me efficient with my work and turnaround time. Without this program, I would dare say that I would be spending more time getting less done because of constant glitches or freezing with my device. This program is primarily keeping my RAM in check.

I switch between graphic design, photo editing, video, and conference calls all day long. With a single push of a button, CMMX allows me to clear up memory and make my machine run smoother and faster. Obviously clearing old files and junk from the computer is a huge bonus for me. However, I use clear memory multiple times a day and see a noticeable difference instantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CleanMyMac?

The best thing about CleanMyMac X is that on mac as we use software like Xcode and Adobe software a lot of junk files consume memory and on mac there is no other way to clear all this data. So clean my mac is an awesome tool for this. We can also free up RAM and clear some malware too.

With clean my mac there is a feature of Space lens in that the whole system is scanned and showed how much memory is consumed in which software.

Also while uninstalling software sometimes junk files remain in the system., we can also uninstall software using CleanMyMac. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CleanMyMac?

In this sometimes RAM consumption is shown false and that's a minor problem also when a mobile phone is connected to the same network, it shows how much battery and storage are available which is a little data privacy issue for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CleanMyMac solving and how is that benefiting you?

CleanMyMac X by MacPaw is an awesome tool and junk cleaning problems, also we can update software from there and find cache files and clean them all these problems can be solved using this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CleanMyMac?

Everything, honestly. This software is great and Apple needs to consider having this pre-installed on their machines. The interface is smooth and userfriendly and gives you a MacOs feel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CleanMyMac?

There are very few things that I dislike. One issue that I have experienced is that the update tool sometimes misses important application updates but I guess that will be resolved shortly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CleanMyMac?

I have had periodic issues with my Macbook Pro's memory filling up suddenly out of nowhere, and I was having the worst time trying to figure out where this data was suddenly populating and being stored so I could address it. It was so bad at one point that I was deleting my trash daily, because my memory was completely full and I could not find what was taking up all of the storage. I finally found CleanMyMac, and I've since been a loyal customer for going on five years now. It quickly and easily found that my email was replicating calendar event caches at breakneck speed and I had the issue fixed within minutes. Now, it's always my go-to software for even a hint of a potential storage issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CleanMyMac?

Nothing, really. The only complaint I would have is that you do not have an online web portal to log into, and that if you update to a new laptop and need to re-register your software and can't find the registration key, you have to go through this silly process on their website of filling out your email, which sends you an email where you have to click a link, and then you can get your reg key. Just give me a web portal that shows me all of my purchased and registered products all in one spot, please! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CleanMyMac solving and how is that benefiting you?

CleanMyMac X has kept me from constantly having to delete things I actually need in order to somehow scrape together more storage because I can't figure out what is in my Macbook's 'other' storage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
