• It Wrecked Adobe Acrobat DC

  APenNameAndThatAMay 26, 2017

  Pros

  It is not allowed in the Apple App store, but other of the same publisher's products are. The other products work okay, so you trust this product, so...

  Cons

  You install it and it wrecks your software.

  Summary

  Apple won't let certain programs in their app store. It turns out, that's for a reason. Also, if you look up Apple Support, they will tell you not to use any clean up programs on your Mac.

• great app for cleaning

  pandabearrrMarch 1, 2017

  Pros

  like its simplicity, it does what it claims 100%, scans fast. I have tried several other similar apps, but CMM have found useless files even after other cleaners said they were removed.

  Cons

  haven't found any

  Summary

  must have app for any mac user

• Useful app, no problems

  gbdocAugust 5, 2016

  Pros

  I use this regularly, and never had a problem with any OS (now El Cap). In addition to cleaning out useless stuff, it uninstalls very well. I'm sure I've cleaned out many, many GBs.

  Cons

  Never encountered any.

  Summary

  Glad I have it.

• CleanMyMac 3 not fully compatible with El Capitan

  millwright56November 15, 2015

  Pros

  Generally this is a good cleaner and I use it frequently, especially to recover disk space used by the thousands of photos that I crop or modify each month.

  Cons

  Despite MacPaw's advertising claims (ie "CleanMyMac 3 is fully compatible with the latest OS X 10.11 El Capitan"), CleanMyMac does not remove hidden copies of files edited in Apple's Photos application, which replaces iPhoto. "The new Photos app introduced [a] new library format. We're working on an update," MacPaw's customer support team told me on 13 November, but who knows when that will be?

  Summary

  Wait for the update before purchasing CleanMyMac.

• Caveat emptor (buyer beware).

  wxsenseiApril 14, 2015

  Pros

  None...unless one considers wasting one's money a "pro".

  Cons

  Deceptive licensing scheme.

  Summary

  My heart goes out to all the unsuspecting users that lost their critical emails and other files. This used to be a good application. Now, thanks to a deceptive business (lcensing) scheme and dreadful new features, it is an awful product. CNET, please reconsider your 4-mouse rating. IMHO, it deserves no more than 1 star.

• works fine every time

  hudsonwFebruary 10, 2015

  Pros

  As with any software, if you set up the preferences as you wish, then you should have no problems. If you don't, bad things may happen as some endusers have noted. Even though I use "Automatic Cleanup", I select only System Cleanup, iPhoto Cleanup, and Trash Cleanup. I also use the Uninstall feature. That's all I want and need to do. I've used CleanMyMac since the beginning and never had a problem with this software.

  Cons

  none whatsoever

• Misleading Marketing

  ivanotherviewDecember 4, 2014

  Pros

  Seems to work

  Cons

  Found items, but would not clean them until I subscribed

  Summary

  Its a ripoff marketing scam. They tell you its free, but when you ask to cleanup the things the program found you are asked to subscribe. Then it is a nuisance to uninstall it. Avoid

• It is the only way I remember to do it weekly

  syd1_dotmacApril 4, 2014

  Pros

  It reminds me weekly.

  Cons

  I have no cons

  Summary

  Love the app, keeps my mac flowing and when it begins to feel sluggish I let it go thru the entire system.
