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.

What do you like best about CleanMyMac?

I like that CleanMyMac X works quickly and easily identifies file types for me. Having files sorted into piles that I can individually look through, or groups that I know I can fully delete, is very helpful. The user interface is also very user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CleanMyMac?

It sends me a lot of notifications since I have them enabled. I don't need these notifications, as they're basically just "reminders" to buy a pro plan. I also think that the yearly price is a bit steep if it's not something that I absolutely need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

CleanMyMac X has allowed me to save space on my laptop, which clears up space for new files. When I'm in a pinch and need to make space for an app or large download, I can access a quick rundown of what is on my Mac so that I can clean it up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CleanMyMac?

Like the smart scan feature, it helps me keep thrash files clean, and I use it a lot for uninstalling apps properly on my mac. Sometimes I have to work with externals apps not installed from the apps store, so when It comes to uninstall them, you want no residues, so with Clean My Mac, I manage to be sure everything goes to trash. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CleanMyMac?

There is a notification about RAM that keeps popping even when everything is running smooth. I think the developers should make some adjustments under which circumstances it became a false positive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering CleanMyMac:

Although I find it expensive, it is highly advised as a must-have app for any Mac user trying to uninstall and keep their Mac clean. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Sometimes I need to uninstall external apps not downloaded with the app store, as with external developers is better to make sure that nothing remains. Clean my mac is the only way I know to completely delete almost any file that apps seem to leave after the regular "drag to garbage bin" action. Also, when opening heavy resource consuming like Photoshop or Android Studio, Clean my Mac helps me to control and understand which programs I should close to keep everything smooth.

What do you like best about CleanMyMac?

I think the interface is easy to use, so there is not much to consider, so when an app is causing troubles, Cleanmymac helps me get rid of those. Sometimes I find it hard to uninstall some apps, and that's when CMM comes to the rescue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CleanMyMac?

I think there should be an option to auto-optimize the mac without the needed actions from the user. I wish this tool could be integrated with macOS and avoid paying for this essential functionality, shame on apple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Some apps I test from the internet are from shady developers, and I feel insecure when they don't work as expected. Having Cleanmymac gives me peace of mind to deeply delete them, avoiding the potential virus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CleanMyMac?

Optimization and uninstall feature is what I use this app; It does an excellent job cleaning and freeing memory for other apps to work correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CleanMyMac?

I think they should offer basic options at a lower price; pay this amount for only using some of the features looks like money wasting for my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering CleanMyMac:

Avoid swapping memory constantly; sometimes, you can get a wrong interpretation of how your Mac uses memory, so use it when you feel your Mac laggy and slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

With Clean My Mac, I keep my old mac working relatively well until I have some spare money to upgrade. This device is getting old and is not storage upgradable, so when using the optimizer option, I think it helps to speed tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CleanMyMac?

My favorite thing about this software is the ability for it to direct you to the exact folder in Finder where the purgeable files are. One of the selling points for this software is its ability to simply "wash away" files that you do not need anymore. However, if you are anything like me, then you would prefer to know what you are throwing away before you do it. The free version of this software (which is what I use) takes me to the exact location of the files and allows me to review it and decide if I would rather dispose of it or keep it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CleanMyMac?

I will say that the free version of the software has very limited functionality. I would think that there would be many people who do not want to subscribe to the paid version of this software, as they would rather free up their storage for free. I look at the full version of the software and am intrigued, but it just does not seem worth it to me. Sometimes it is frustrating to click on features only to be presented with the message that I must purchase the full version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

So far, I have cleared about 20GB of space on my 256GB Hard drive on my 2017 Macbook Pro. One of my biggest problems was the "Other" storage on my laptop. The storage utility would not tell me where the files were located, so I considered downloading software that could help me navigate the finder. CleanMyMax X was the most popular option, and for good reason. I ended up deleting files from apps that I had previously deleted off my computer as well as consolidated some of the files for my existing applications. It was satisfying to watch that "Other" storage gradually decrease! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CleanMyMac?

I think it is the best tool out there to keep Mac clean and running smooth; also, it helps a lot to uninstall apps; when you drag the app to the trash can, it seems like it doesn't remove some files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CleanMyMac?

I think tools are expensive, and apple should include something like this with every Mac they sell; it is a shame to pay for something like this, consider the high prices for Mac nowdays. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering CleanMyMac:

Sometimes you get a message about insufficient RAM. Most of the time, my mac is doing well, so consider ignoring it or disable this feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Basically, I use it when an app isn't working as expected to get a clean start. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not sure I dislike it much; the developer has done an excellent job with this set of tools. It is organized well, clear, concise, and is essential for my work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering CleanMyMac:

This tool is worth every penny paid for the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Cleaning up garbage and applications that do not work up to my standards has allowed me to get my work done without issue for years now. This keeps the system running smoothly and allows the SSD to perform efficiently. My storage has opened up significantly since I started using this tool. If anyone asks, i strongly recommend using this application to prevent downtime and problems caused by junk, clutter and detritus from browsing the web or just using your Mac.

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

I use it mainly to uninstall apps and optimizing Mac using the recommended settings offered by default. I think you can tell the difference when you're not using it. Mac tends to get a bit slow, so I use it between 2 days to ensure everything is optimum. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
