After an hour of processing, it flagged photos that were not duplicates at all. Unless you want to lose precious photos of your kids growing up, family vacation or family photos, do not waste your time. You will end up dragging all of them back into your library where they started. ### 1/5 — Very disappointed with Version 3.0 *2026-08-25, version 3.0* After updating to Version 3.0, Clever Cleaner has become extremely slow, and I can no longer manage to delete my photos properly. Before the update, I could manually select the photos I wanted to delete. Now, photos are automatically selected and moved to the delete folder, which I really don’t like. I much preferred the old version. Please bring back the previous photo selection and deletion experience! ### 1/5 — Did exactly nothing *2026-08-25, version 3.0* Deleted no duplicate pictures not 1 😡 ### 1/5 — unbelievable *2026-08-24, version 3.0* This app was perfect until you just did an update 😳 ### 1/5 — . *2026-08-24, version 3.0* To whom it may concern, you said it was free but it’s not why ### 1/5 — lies lies lies *2026-08-24, version 3.0* i got an ad saying it’s a free storage cleaner. well it’s not and i highly doubt it was it lets you “clean up 5 gb” a day for free but actually it hasn’t cleaned up my storage one bit i sat on the app for 2 hours deleting similar photos and it said it would clear 5 gb once i deleted everything i check my storage nope didn’t even clean up half a gb i check my recently deleted photos i delete everything from there nope still don’t have the 5 gb free it claims i would have sure the app is technically free but they lie about the amount of storage you’re actually cleaning up and they do have paid subscriptions unlike what the ads say and all the reviews feel fake like the are ai or something… sketchy ### 1/5 — Not Free *2026-08-19, version 3.0* This app is promoted as “free” on multiple blog posts and online articles. After downloading it, the email received by Apple says that the $6.99/week subscription will be charged after 3 days and if you want to cancel it must be one day before being charged. I must have missed the “free” version. I’ll be removing the app from my phone immediately. ### 1/5 — Em vez de ajudar, piorou. *2026-08-19* Perdi dados, aumentou o espaço utilizado. Nem um pouco “cleaver”. Que ideia ruim for ter baixado esse aplicativo. **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback!
