Software Reviews and Criticism

  Essential - Should be included in

  - Short summarized review - If you like keeping your computer as streamlined as possible and the idea of random useless files left behind by apps even if you 'deleted' them, get the app. - - Detailed review - I had no idea how much junk was left behind every time that I 'deleted' an app. This app is also great for generally resetting applicatioms back to their 'default' state. For instance, I was having a very irritating problem with the photos app on the latest PC version I just installed (Mohave). It would just crash as soon as I opened it and I couldn't figure out what the hell was wrong. I finally decided to use this app to search for everything related to the app (application cache, log files, photo library ... etc) and I just deleted everything. Everything works perfectly now. app is so useful for anything from removing all the crap left behind when you 'delete' an app to resetting applications to their default settings (troubleshooting). Honestly I don't buy in-app purchases for anything but I actually bought the $4.99 upgrade thing. -

  Works great and removed Outlook 2016 on my Windows

  Downloaded and purchased the Pro version right awaying after going through the reviews and seeing so many positive ones about this app. There are a lot of apps out on the internet that claim to remove apps, but I was hesitant of them since I didn’t trust them and didn’t see any reviews on them. FYI - to remove programs, you’ll need to purchase the Pro version for $4.99. For the price, it’s worth it. I’ve been wanting to uninstall Outlook 2016 on my Windows since I don’t use it and was looking for an app that would completely remove Outlook along with all associated files in the /Library folder without me having to manually go through folders. It appears this app worked and I checked through the /Library folders and did not see any traces of Outlook files. Also, this app found leftover files of apps I previously deleted so another “thumbs up”! The interface is easy to use!!

  Fight back against sneaky developer “implants”!

  App cleaner for me has become an invaluable tool. This has a lot to do with developers making it impossible to completely uninstall apps that offer free trials. A perfect case is Cold Turkey. I read about it and decided to give it a free try. But after a few minutes I knew it wasn’t for me. Then came the hard part: uninstalling. I had forgotten I have App Cleaner so I started with going to Finder and moving Turkey to trash. Impossible to do. Windows message kept saying it was still running. Try Force Quit but it’s not even listed. Went online. There seem to be at least 20 posts about how nefarious Cold Turkey is when you try and get it out completely. Fortunately I remembered I had boiught app cleaner. Opened the app and it completely “axed" Cold Turkey in less than 15 seconds. Support if you need it is very high level and response is less than 24 hours. this app is a must.

  Best in breed!

  Well-worth the price for anyone who strives to keep their OS mean and lean! Have wasted countless hours over the years with apps that claim to remove all traces of a program, only to find bits scatered through the OS thereafter. App Cleaner is as straightforward and effective as the name implies. I’ve had it for a few years and havee run it through the inquisition by uninstalling then re-installing apps a few times and verifying the results with folder and Spotlight searches. Hasn’t failed me yet. This new Extension Manager is a welcome upgrade as it removes my one minor gripe with earlier releases. Sometimes the old versions would segregate extensions ans installers as “remainders” and you’d have to nuke them that way. This new tweak streamlines the process as well providing another handy way to keep tabs on which extension are running or not.
