I don’t understand what it did to my photos. But I’m missing several un replaceable photos after running it. MacPaw should turn this product into a security product, searching for malware, and speeding up phone’s processes. I don’t recommend this product if your photos are important to you. On the other hand, I highly recommend Clean My Mac. ### 4/5 — Very good, struggles at scale *2026-08-10, version 2.13.3* Scans are very good at tagging duplicates and similars as well as other common junk categories (screenshots etc). Two major limitations hold this back from being perfect; first, album- awareness. Given 2 similar photos the one I have saved to multiple albums shouldn’t be the one autoselected for deletion. This alone prevents me from “trusting” the smart suggestions - I’d love to go nuke all the duplicates in my library that aren’t saved to my organized albums but sadly that isn’t possible. Second, the “sensitive photos” mechanic requires you to individually flag photos and wait for an “undo action” timer to finish. At scale this isn’t a sufficient means to bulk- mark memories or albums to be excluded from future scans and reviews. If I’ve already reviewed 100 groupings of similars and decided /not/ to delete 80 of them, I shouldn’t have to re-review those 80 every time, and instead should be able to mark them as done. ### 2/5 — Deletes photos that doesn’t need deleting *2026-07-25, version 2.13.3* I used this to clean up my photos and instead of it deleting duplicates it deleted photos from the whole events I went to instead of genuine duplicates. Silly me didn’t check properly and by the time I realised it was too late and I lost the photos forever. I will never trust an app again. I will rather do it manually ### 5/5 — Good clearance *2026-07-25, version 2.13.3* Unless you are extra precious about what you keep this app automatically clears extraneous pics. I have just deleted 1500, and after checking the deleted ones against the retained pics found this to be quite satisfactory. There are still pics of the occasion , usually one, which is fine for me. Thoroughly recommended. I won’t necessarily keep up with the sub, but happy to do so for now. ### 4/5 — Clean My phone *2026-07-23, version 2.13.3* Love anything MacPaw has. I use on my phone now as well as my MacBook ### 2/5 — Deleted 50% of my old photos *2026-07-22, version 2.13.3* I’m pretty sure this deleted almost half of my old photos in photo. Follow the instructions exactly and was very careful to just delete duplicates, but somehow someway it accessed the raw files of photos and deleted them because I cannot find so many of my pictures anywhere and this and the clean my Mac app on my computer is the only cleaner app I’ve used. Tried looking into it and contacting Support, but got dead ends real quick and essentially “sorry you’re kinda screwed 🤷‍♂️” ### 5/5 — 50k photos *2026-07-21, version 2.13.3* Brilliant. Spent an evening sorting my photos. No problems ### 5/5 — Best clean up app Ever! *2026-07-21, version 2.13.3* My only regret is not installing this app sooner ### 5/5 — Good Good *2026-07-20, version 2.13.3* User interface intuitive. ### 5/5 — Easy and effective *2026-07-13, version 2.13.3* Easy app to use. Have been using their desktop version for several years. Just hope they don’t come out with a better version that you also have to purchase for a “lifetime” when I’ve purchased this version, that happened with the desktop version and that’s a bit irritating as lifetime typically means lifetime. Otherwise and all things considered still love their products. ### 5/5 — Easy, efficient *2026-07-12, version 2.13.3* Excellent app ### 5/5 — Best App for Optimising *2026-07-03, version 2.13.3* Does what it is intended to do and more… ### 5/5 — CleanMyPhone Review *2026-07-02, version 2.13.3* Great app will use again easy to use very intuitive ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Force rating *2026-08-19, version 2.13.3* These guys force you to rate ### 1/5 — Useful App, Relentless Review Prompts *2026-08-15, version 2.13.3* I paid for a yearly subscription to CleanMyPhone. While I find its intended functionality useful, being repeatedly spammed with requests for an App Store review after every few cleanup selections and runs makes me dread even opening the app. I have In-App Ratings & Reviews disabled at the iOS system level. CleanMyPhone nevertheless continues asking me for an App Store review after every few cleanup selections and runs. I do not know why these requests continue despite that setting, but after six months of seeing them inside what is supposed to be a premium, paid subscription app, I relent. I hope submitting the review I have been repeatedly pressured to leave will finally make the prompts stop so I can simply use the app I paid for. ### 1/5 — Dislike waste of money *2026-07-30, version 2.13.3* Was reccomended this app tried it nope not for me easier to just delete on my library save your $10 ### 1/5 — Don't use if you have more than just icloud contacts *2026-07-14, version 2.13.3* Don't know what happened but it combined a bunch of completely unrelated contacts making my iMesaage history unusable. Contacts suddenly had 20 names crammed into the metadata which of course synced to all my connected services. It's a mess. Also I was very unimpressed by it's duplicate and blurry photo detection. ### 1/5 — Péssimo *2026-07-09, version 2.13.3* Extremamente limitado, não limpa nada a não ser fotos duplicada e comprimir Live Photos. A versão de Mac é totalmente diferente e lá sim gerencia até os apps e faz limpeza de memória RAM e SSD. Não percam dinheiro com esse aqui! ### 1/5 — Berbat *2026-07-08, version 2.13.3* 3 gün deneme süresi var diyor ama aktive edemiyorsunuz. Size öyle yada böyle aboneliği kitliyor. Alakasız fotoğrafları benzer diye sınıflandırıyor. Sakın indirmeyin. Yanlışlıkla sevdiğim fotoğraflarımı az kalsın siliyordum bunun yüzünden. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-07-03, version 2.13.3* All of my contacts are fussed together, and I can’t find the separately ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2026-07-02, version 2.13.3* Day one the app worked like a miracle. Day two it quit - would convert but then get stuck and not delete Have to find an alternative ### 1/5 — Where did my live photos go *2026-06-29, version 2.13.3* I used the app to clean my live photos but now I cant find any of my live photos that were apparently converted to stills. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2026-06-28, version 2.13.3* I spent almost an hour in swipe mode deleting duplicate and similar photos. Turns out they didn’t actually delete. When I went back into my library, everything I swiped to delete was still there. Waste of my time. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-19, version 2.13.3* I love this app it helps me with my storage cleanup. ### 5/5 — Clean my phone ☎️ *2026-08-15, version 2.13.3* I have have, li ### 5/5 — Best phone cleaner *2026-08-13, version 2.13.3* I use the desktop cleaner and decided to try this app. It did on a few minutes what similar apps take why seems like forever. Got my phone back on line! ### 5/5 — Best utility for Mac *2026-08-12, version 2.13.3* Been using Macpaw products for years! ### 5/5 — A must need if you can afford the subscription price. *2026-08-07, version 2.13.3* It’s an absolutely awesome tool. I had used it for my Mac and I wanted to try it out for my phone. Also, does the same great job. The only caveat is the subscription. I had this app before as a fully purchased app on my Mac I could not download it, but then had to take on subscription for the year as I was used to this app. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-08-02, version 2.13.3* Quick and easy ### 5/5 — Wonderful app! *2026-07-31, version 2.13.3* I love this app. Wish I had it years ago! ### 5/5 — Clean *2026-07-30, version 2.13.3* Excellent ### 5/5 — Great App! *2026-07-26, version 2.13.3* I have deleted thousands of photos with ease thanks to this app. The categories are great to be able to filter through my photos and the swipe to delete option is really handy! ### 5/5 — Superb *2026-07-26, version 2.13.3* It saved me 150GB in things that i didn’t even know existed. Feels like a own beand new phone --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
