Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: 6-12 months

Recommend Product: NO

Save your money: there are many freeware utilities such as MainMenu which do the same jobs (but with fewer bugs, greater ease of use, and better support) than this rip-off. I paid my full fee and got left without working software.

Every time a new major MacOS version comes out, the author of this software drops support for previous versions and releases a new one for which he expects all this customers to pay a full fee for.

I found this out after buying Panther Cache Cleaner (tcc's precursor) only to be left without software that didn't work. What happened was Apple released 10.4 before the 10.3.9 update came up. pcc support was dropped by the author: he supported Tiger Cache Cleaner only. Then Apple released the 10.3.9 update. This meant that pcc failed to work and existing pcc users were expected to pay a new full fee (not even a reduced price upgrade route) for tcc if they wanted to continue to use the functions they'd paid for.

I asked the author of pcc/tcc about this, as a paying customer, and he ignored me. Tiger Cache Cleaner is a pure rip-off and the business tactics uses by its author are probably illegal in the EU where I live.

I found out that there are free applications that do everything that pcc/tcc can do. MainMenu in particular works much better than pcc/tcc, the author is friendly and fixes problems very quickly. For example, rebuild LS database didn't work properly in either pcc or MainMenu - only checked the boot volume in both cases. MainMenu's author fixed the problem quickly when I told him about it. The author of pcc/tcc - software *I had purchased* - ignored the problem when I, a paying customer, reported it to him.

Rip-off price, poor function, and poor support. Use MainMenu instead. - MAC_1984

A royal whiner who probably pays more for lunch than he would an upgrade and who spent more time complaining about matters that are nonsense, and lost more in pay than the upgrade cost. Pathetic at best.

"Free" Software - DTDunn

You get what you pay for. TCC has always worked for me. Frankly, I prefer to pay for software. You usually get a better product from a motivated person.

As for the *censored*in' about supporting older versions -- why don't you keep up with the rest of the world ya cheap twit? Pay up, keep up, or stop crying while we all move onwards.
