Sorry if we were a bit of a nuisance 😅. We’re always trying to make the app better and less intrusive. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! ### 2/5 — Nuisance. Inconvenient. *2025-05-20, version 1.0.35* Doesn’t allow a preview of videos identified before you delete them!! Don’t get it. ### 4/5 — Smart Guard Feedback *2025-02-05, version 1.0.26* Good application, easy to use with a small IPad screen. The only limit is to easily delete a single photo each time. ### 2/5 — Smart Guard *2025-01-27, version 1.0.26* Not enough instructions for senior citizens to comprehend! ### 2/5 — Informaçao *2025-01-10, version 1.0.24* Não é correto informar que não é pago sendo que voce nao pode nem testar que já vem a cobrança ### 2/5 — Bad *2024-11-29* Game stinks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! **Developer response:** We're sorry the app didn’t meet your expectations. If you could provide more details, we'd work to improve the experience. ### 2/5 — This is not free *2024-11-03, version 1.0.18* When you listen to the advert and it says that it is free, you get 3 days free trial then it is £5:99. It’s ok if you have a lot of the same photos but you can easily go through them and delete them yourself. ### 1/5 — Cancel this subscription *2024-11-03, version 1.0.18* They have no way of canceling this SmartGuard Pro subscription. This is ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Not Free *2024-11-03, version 1.0.18* You all developers need to stop lying just to get downloads. This, and SO many other cleaning apps, is NOT free. There is a subscription. Go away with your fake advertising. Come on, Apple, you need to do a better job monitoring your App Store!!! ### 1/5 — Je veux annuler mon inscription *2024-11-01, version 1.0.18* J’aimerais annuler mon inscription merci d’avance ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Smart Guard *2025-05-19* How can I cancel Vec7@sbcglobal..net ### 1/5 — Pooh *2025-05-05, version 1.0.31* Catch 22 is beneath the dignity of a legitimate company ### 1/5 — NO, IT IS NOT FREE AS STIPULATED!!!!! *2025-02-28, version 1.0.26* WHY INTENTIONALLY MISREPRESENT YOUR APPLICATION AND TELL PEOPLE THAT IT’S ABSOLUTELY FREE WHEN IN TRUTH YOU KNOW VERY WELL THAT IT’S NOT AT ALL FREE!!!! I HAVE SCREEN SHOTS OF EVERYTHING YOU CLAIM IT OFFERS BUT THIS FEEDBACK OPTION WON’T ALLOW ME TO POST THE PHOTOS ALONG WITH THE FEEDBACK! THE ATTORNEY GENERAL, BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU, ETC NEEDS TO SEE WHAT ALL OF YOU ARE DOING AND MISREPRESENTING THESE ONLINE LIKE YOU’VE BEEN DOING!! ### 1/5 — Não funciona *2025-02-21, version 1.0.26* Não apaga nada ### 1/5 — Scam - don’t download *2025-01-03, version 1.0.24* Predatory ads, outrageous pricing ### 1/5 — Não limpa nada *2024-12-27, version 1.0.22* Pessimo ### 1/5 — Worthless *2024-12-01, version 1.0.22* Do not use this app. Gives a choice of daily weekly or monthly but only lets you sign up for a yearly contract. Says you can cancel anytime but does not give any direction on how to cancel. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2024-11-05, version 1.0.18* Can’t even watch the videos, I was looking to delete some. ### 1/5 — Bit of a con really *2024-11-04, version 1.0.18* This app was quite confusing at the start, As said 7 days free trial, Then ended up having to pay 29p… for 7 day trial. And the monthly trial said £2.99, But they tried to take £34.99 instead.Went to delete photo part, and the photo thumbnails shown were so small, I couldn’t even make out what the photo actually showed, And clicking on each photo to try and see which photo I was deleting, Just brought up a failed message. The wifi speed tester was pretty useless, and didn’t complete. Wasn’t the clean up app I was led to believe ..I am just going to delete it ### 1/5 — Обман *2024-11-03, version 1.0.18* В рекламе так все красиво - удобно и бесплатно, а на самом деле платное, неудобное совершенно приложение, с кучей рекламы ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cleaner *2025-09-22, version 1.0.40* A simple /quick way to remove unnecessary clutter from your smart phone. No complications! Try it out . ### 5/5 — Gabrielle Jr’sProm photos *2025-06-22, version 1.0.37* Great app to use‼️ ### 5/5 — FA *2025-06-21, version 1.0.37* I have need to do this some while ago. It is a winner as far as I am concerned! FA! ### 5/5 — I like this service *2025-06-14, version 1.0.35* I like this service but not at $120/year. ### 5/5 — Smart Guard *2025-05-21, version 1.0.35* How can I cancel Vec7@sbcglobal..net ### 5/5 — Okay *2025-05-20, version 1.0.35* So far, so good. ### 5/5 — Phone cleaner *2025-04-29, version 1.0.31* Great cleaner ### 5/5 — APP NÃO FUNCIONA *2025-01-16, version 1.0.26* App não funciona! Não apaga nada. Mesmo selecionando um arquivo não apaga. Solicito estorno do pagamento. ### 5/5 — Smart Guard *2024-11-28, version 1.0.22* Great job ### 5/5 — All pictures after deleting *2024-11-03, version 1.0.18* Can’t get much faster than that! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
