### 3/5 — Poor performance

*2026-06-02, version 4.1*

I was very disappointed. It didn’t work like I thought it would. I wanted to clean up my emails. Did absolutely nothing.

### 3/5 — Tut was sie soll!

*2023-11-28, version 3.0*

Die App macht was sie soll! 
Leider sehr buggy, träge und Absturzfreudig! 

Die erste Woche ist kostenlos. Abzüge wegen des teuren Abos für 5,49€/Woche und die Abstürze!

### 2/5 — Does not do much

*2023-07-10, version 3.0*

Suggested duplication of many photos that were not all close to each other

Would not recommend this product

### 1/5 — Nothing works

*2022-09-28, version 2.7*

Another update, another change. Now nothing works. ‘Start Cleaning’ ‘Speed test’ etc, etc. Useless, cancelled subscription. Shame as used to work really well and offered great value for money.

### 1/5 — Clean Button immer noch weg

*2022-09-27, version 2.7*

Neues Design 🤨
Schlimmer geht es nicht mehr .
App wird immer schlechter und
Soll dafür auch noch Geld bezahlen .
Hätte am liebsten Null Sterne gegeben .

### 1/5 — Macht einen auf Cleaner

*2022-09-14, version 2.6*

cleant aber null achtet mal auf euren IPhone Speicher nach dem Durchlauf von Cleaner 
die Speicherangabe des IPhones bleibt gleich obwohl der Cleaner angeblich 1,2 GB gereinigt haben will 🤣🤣🤣

### 1/5 — Used to clean up system files

*2022-09-01, version 2.6*

This was the only program that used to clean up system files it was unique and one-of-a-kind and now it’s just trash like all the other apps that promise to clean up your phone.

I don’t care about duplicate photos or duplicate contacts I can get a different program for that I want something that cleans up system files.

### 3/5 — Return the the clean button

*2022-07-24, version 2.5*

Return the clean button for system junk

### 1/5 — Лучше бы не обновляла

*2022-07-15, version 2.5*

После обновления не могу удалить кэш 
Мне не нужно удалять дубликаты фото и контактов , я просто хочу удалить кэш

### 1/5 — Bug Fixes

*2022-06-23, version 2.5*

This cleaner app is so far the only app I can find to clean my iPhone. The problem is that there’s an issue with the bug fixes. I can’t even clean my storage because there are buttons that are not on there to clean the phone’s storage and checking the WiFi connection. This app haven’t been updated. It needs to be fixed.

### 2/5 — cappelligena3@icloud. com

*2022-06-15, version 2.5*

Haven’t seen the app and already asking for review. Would probably not be this far I
if I had known about the charges. Had this app before and liked it. It cleans storage. Like that.

### 1/5 — Subscription needed

*2022-06-14, version 2.5*

If there is a required subscription for an app it NEEDs to be stated in the description of the app. Such statement was not present when I downloaded the app. The app has been deleted from my device.

### 5/5 — Помощь!!!!

*2022-02-01, version 2.5*

Уважаемые разработчики пользовался вашим прекрасным приложение. Весь кэш и файлы удалялись и альтернативы этому приложения нет, так как все подобные удаляют только из галлереи и контактов. И в один день у меня на главном экране, где показывается кнопка «clean» она пропала и тем самым я не могу удалить и воспользоваться приложением! Я надеюсь на скорый ответ, а так приложение лучшее из все подобных!

### 5/5 — Пропала кнопка очистить

*2022-01-31, version 2.5*

Раньше была кнопка-«очистить» и все замечательно очищалось. Сейчас эта кнопка пропала. Верните ее, пожалуйста.

### 5/5 — Very good app

*2021-12-30*

So like I got this game because I was close to running out of storage. It really worked it take away some of your storage. It's very good. Btw The people saying it’s bad just for subscription there is a X at the top that you can press so you don’t have to get it and then just going back to the normal screen of where you can delete photos and storage. Sorry if i did not say some things that were in the app. That all it a very good app

### 5/5 — Was will man mehr.

*2021-11-19, version 2.4*

App macht was sie soll. Einfach verständlich, und nicht überzogen. Übersichtlich und einfach gestaltet.
