Double charged me and customer support was less than helpful. Just ended up eating the second payment because it wasn’t worth the headache

Ad said free. It wasn’t.

I love CCleaner on my PC. I decided to try it for my mobile devices. The ad said free. But during the first scan, one screen required payment.

They should be called photo library cleaner, not CCleaner

The main reason why I’m saying this is because the CCleaner from the computer application runs very smooth, opening all the files and all the directories from the system here it only gives you 2 to 3 options. The main option is the photo library about the photo library. That is something you can actually do through your iPhone or iPad. If you go to your settings storage then you can see the bar where it shows the storage drive what is being used and what is not being used.

I wanted to actually open all the applications to see what is taking most space than others. What application is the one that is actually taken up the largest space from my storage drive. Therefore, that information is not available through this app, but through the app of the computer you can be able to see your applications taken up your space in which application you want to delete from 0 to 100% I thought this app will be showing the same information and sign as a user from sea cleaner for many years that I have been using this application.

That said it only actually applies to your photo library and your contacts but not to your applications you download from the App Store if this app have the versatility or flexibility or options to be able to see each application one by one that you download from the App Store this will be a five stars out of five stars. I really think this can be extremely improved. This is 2026. We are on a very high futuristic year where AI has power and we can be able to contact artificial intelligence. So I don’t understand how this app does not have that permission settings.

Worse Experience Ever

I have used this app on my Windows computer and tried it on my phone, but it was like going from purgatory to hell. This incompetent app deleted all of my important contacts. I didn’t know until Siri told me he couldn’t find my contacts that I asked him to call. It was about to delete a lot of pictures without showing me the actual picture. It just showed me a gray box and wanted to delete it. When I tried one picture and went to the trash, it was actually a good picture. It was deleting it. I would stay far away from this app unless you want to go wild after losing all of your memories.

Not worth it

I downloaded the phone version of this app and all it does is edit my videos, photos and contacts
I need it to work like the computer version, this should be $5.

I want a refund.

Horrible.

I don’t know if they think this is funny, but they used a website ad showing a “notification” which when you click on it, it redirects you to a website saying theres a “virus” on my iPhone and I need to download this app.

Takes too long for scanning

I paid the app but it’s been a day that it is scanning the content of my phone. Not sure if that’s normal since I use on my computer it worked always fast. My iPhone is 128gb so it’s not a large amount to scan

Obrigado por informar. Uma digitalização que permanece ativa por tanto tempo não é esperada. Force o encerramento e reabra o app, reinicie o iPhone e verifique atualizações do CCleaner e do iOS. Se continuar, envie o modelo do iPhone, a versão do iOS e do app em support.ccleaner.com para investigação. *CCleaner

Does not work on iPhone

This is just a media cleaner. Nothing else, totally unlike the Windows version.

Suppose to be free

I have a free version of my Windows computer and I thought this was also a free version for my iPhone. Could not get through the set up without having to be charged for this version. Is there a free version for the iPhone?

No option to scan

Would happily pay for this app, if it would work. It can’t scan an iPhone SE nor give instructions on how to do so. It just FREEZES the screen.

Komplette Abzocke

Die App ist ja übelst der Schrott.
Schäme mich richtig für mich selbst, dass ich darauf reingefallen bin ein Abo abzuschließen. Ich dachte, dass ich mit dem Abo wenigstens die Möglichkeit habe irgendwas aufzuräumen. Aber das höchste der Gefühle ist etwas zu „optimieren“, wenn man mehrere Dateien ausgewählt hat, die man löschen möchte. Das „optimieren“ führt aber nur dazu, dass die Dateien verkleinert werden können. Auch Kontakte werden gar nicht in echt zusammengeführt.
Komplette App ist Fake

C’était mieux avant…

Connaissant l’application depuis de nombreuses années, il s’agissait d’une appli GRATUITE très utile jusqu’au jour où l’argent a fait tourner des têtes… maintenant sans payer elle ne sert strictement à rien… PASSEZ VOTRE CHEMIN

Does not work

Can’t even load the photo library images for them to be cleaned even though it has full access. It has no really useful features. Just a broken poorly built app.
