    "If it's not broke then don't fix it."

    April 15, 2013  |   By digital dude--2008

    Version: CleanMyMac 2 2.0.1

    Pros

    Attractive interface and easy to navigate

    Cons

    Not sure I believe some of what it reports. As a photographer I know when photos are rotated and the list that it shows is not accurate. Also, it arbitrarily removed much-needed plug-in's for my Adobe products. The fact that the program also wants to remove unused files of a month or longer is frightening!

    Summary

    It may work for some but for me - no way

    "Worked well, didn't crash my Mac."

    January 30, 2013  |   By GenoaJenn

    Version: CleanMyMac 2 1.10.9

    Pros

    Saved me a few gigabytes of space.
    My MacPro did seem to boot a little faster.
    Got rid of an annoying Shut Down hang that cropped up a couple of years ago (intermittent OS X 10.6.x issue)
    Safari is definitely running better.

    Cons

    Would have liked to see more recovered drive space, or a note on how and where to recover additional drive space.

    Summary

    Although the app seems to have cleared up a couple of annoying issues I had, I must have been keeping my Mac pretty cleaned up already (I've been my own IT department for the last 20 years, since I purchased my first Mac IIci in 1992).
    I would definitely recommend this app to Mac users who don't understand the more technical side of the Apple Macintosh OS, but advanced Mac OS users may find it redundant.

    "Not "a lifetime license for $14.97""

    January 30, 2013  |   By askew

    Version: CleanMyMac 2 1.10.9

    Pros

    It looks like it works, but I used only the trial version which is limited.

    Cons

    When I went to purchase, the lifetime license was nearly $30, not $14.97. I would have paid $14.97 but I think $30 is too much money for this kind of application.

    "Well worth your time and money!"

    January 23, 2013  |   By talkinglens

    Version: CleanMyMac 2 1.10.9

    Pros

    Gets rid of GIGs of uneccessary material. Has worked flawlessly for me for a couple of years on my PPC G5 machines. Wouldn't be without it. There is nothing to think or worry about with the decision to use it.

    Cons

    None that I am aware of in all this time of its use.

    Summary

    Best software for this purpose for the money. The intro was free which I only have to pay to purchase now.

    "Great product, why the price discrepancy though?"

    January 13, 2013  |   By chillhill

    Version: CleanMyMac 2 1.10.9

    Pros

    Works quickly and does what it says; always removes several GB worth of junk from my Mac.

    Cons

    I just bought the lifetime licence after using it for 6 months, for £24.95, only to find out that it's $14.95 in the US for the same thing.

    $14.95 = £9.96, so why did I pay nearly 3x the amount of the same product? (Especially given the irony that I paid with a U.S. bank card as I'm from the U.S.).

    I wish I'd known this before I purchased! I *am* happy with the product but not happy with the price difference. Unless the UK version comes with some super-duper-secret-options that the U.S. one doesn't. Which I doubt.

    "Nice programm with some cons, but an outstanding pros"

    October 25, 2012  |   By Nikret

    Version: CleanMyMac 2 1.10.8

    Pros

    1. First thing it is very "user friendly" easy to use: one or two clicks to make necessary subprogramm to work;
    2. Not only it uninstalls out of use programms, but chase down most of the traces they usually leave: a lot of programms that stay a while on my Mac was unable to do this.
    3. And works quickly: I don't get a chance to make a cup of tea as before. Damn, I need a cup of tea right now.

    Cons

    1. You still have to pay for the programm. It is sad, really. I know people should be awarded for WHAT they've done, but still.
    2. You can activate and use only one copy of CMM (if you don't have a multiple license).

    Summary

    One of the greatest uninstallers I've crossed on both Mac and PC. Price still bites a little, but it worth buying and paying
