AppZapper is a very convenient way to remove an app in OS X along with various support files that often exist in the user Library. It also has a module for storing registration details for purchased shareware applications. One feature of that module that I like that I haven't seen in other similar apps is how it provides an icon representing the app you are storing details for. It's a nice bonus, but the two fields provided may be too limited to provide all the details you may need to recover a registered app's details.

Where AppZapper really fails miserably is zapping app support files if you have multiple users on your system. It will only zap what exists in YOUR library. Got other users on that Mac who use that app also? Too bad... support files stay for them, but the app is now gone so it's not like you can repeat this.

AppZapper has a very polished UI and is simple to use, but there are other apps that do what AppZapper does, and more completely, and for the same money or less. Until the developer can address these limitations, I can't justify using this or recommending it.
