### 1/5 — Attention

*2026-07-29*

J’ai pris l’abonnement car il est écrit 3 jours gratuit, ce qui est trompeur. Il n’y a pas d’essai de 3 jours, une fois abonné, vous êtes parti pour 1 an, impossible d’annuler l’abonnement chez Apple. J’ai demandé une annulation pour droit de rétractation. Sinon l’appli est très basique, c’est quelque chose que vous pouvez faire sans l’appli, effacer des photos et vidéos..

**Developer response:** Merci pour votre commentaire. Lorsqu’un essai gratuit est proposé, il se transforme automatiquement en abonnement payant s’il n’est pas annulé avant son échéance. Sur iPhone, annulez-le via Réglages > votre nom > Abonnements > Avast Cleanup. Pour une demande de remboursement, Apple traite les achats App Store sur reportaproblem.apple.com. *Avast

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE DO NOT BUY

*2026-07-17, version 1.15.1*

Update: after looking at email the developer advised to give permission for full gallery access which was already permitted. There are pictures only two or three that can been seeing The rest of them are blank. It doesn’t work no matter what I do. The app is not functioning. I already contacted. Apple and Apple would not give me no refund.  My gallery does not load into this app. Everything appears blank still cannot get any refund. Nowhere neither my credit card neither Avast  itself. It’s impossible to get refund for the product. That’s never gonna be working never buy again and I will cancel all my subscriptions everywhere !!

### 5/5 — How I love it

*2026-07-10, version 1.15.1*

because that I can use this app to clean up my space, I would just love it

### 3/5 — Fotos não são visíveis

*2026-06-28*

O programa não mostras as fotos no iPhone. Só aparece um ícone. Difícil de utilizar. Como saber o que estou apagando?

**Developer response:** Obrigado por avisar. No iPhone, isso normalmente acontece quando o app não tem acesso total às Fotos. Verifique em Ajustes > Privacidade e Segurança > Fotos > Avast Cleanup, ou em Ajustes > Avast Cleanup, e permita acesso completo, pois com acesso limitado o app só consegue ver as imagens selecionadas. Depois, abra o app novamente e execute a varredura outra vez. Se continuar igual, fale com a equipe em support.avast.com.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-05-24, version 1.15.1*

I paid for the month to use this app. It downloaded 8 of my images to go through and no more. Waste of money

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2026-05-20, version 1.15.1*

I have no idea why avast would want you to download this I can not any point in this app it’s just extra cost no one needs or wants

### 1/5 — No good

*2026-04-27, version 1.15.1*

Promised more than it gave. I would like a refund and I have been asking for one but no luck as such. I wouldn’t use this site again

### 1/5 — RIP off ( pls contact me )

*2026-04-20, version 1.15.0*

I can’t get in touch with you. As usual. I’ve purchased this and my vpn is still not protected. How many things do I have to buy until I feel like I’m being looked after. You’re probably struggling. But we all are. I’m disabled and don’t get enough to have a life as things are. I’ve only just bought this so could I pls have a refund. It doesn’t do anything I can’t do myself. Can’t even get a refund because the purchase doesn’t come with an invoice. Total scam.
