CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: Jason Parker on July 22, 2008
Sometimes the best interface is no interface at all. Compared to other Mac uninstall programs, AppTrap is simplicity itself--and it really does seem to provide the uninstall functionality that Apple "forgot" in OS X.
AppTrap is not actually an app but rather a System Preference pane, which you install and then it runs in the background (and you can set AppTrap to automatically start at login). Whenever you drag an application to the Trash, AppTrap will prompt you to delete all the application's related files, including any files installed in that application's cache, library, or application support folders.
As with all uninstallers, your mileage may vary and AppTrap may occasionally miss some files--but for a well-designed piece of freeware with a seamless "interface," AppTrap does an excellent job.
Publisher's description
From Markus Amalthea Magnuson :Moving an application to the trash is simple and easy. Shouldn't true uninstallation on the Mac be the same way? With AppTrap, when you move an application to the trash, you're automatically asked if you want to move the associated preference files as well. Now that's uninstallation, the Mac way.

Version: AppTrap 1.1.3
Pros: very easy to install ... & use .... just drag & drop in the bin ...!!! the option to start at startup is always available ...
Cons: nothing yet ....
Summary: feel AppCleaner is in a tight fight .. (but the AppCleaner support tea is a bit slow ... had requested them for compatibility with OX 10.6.1 .. but reply till date ! )
