I first found this product with a general Internet search and landed on the developer's home page. I initially dismissed the product because the home space contains an obvious spelling error ("whether" is spelled "wether"). While this is a fairly trivial issue in the scheme of things, I wondered how a reputable developer who cared about his product and his customers would leave such a glaring mistake on his front page for years. Nonetheless, I came to Versiontracker to look at the comments. It appears that this developer is as casually careless about his product as he is about his marketing.
I was curious to see that Versiontracker shows this as a 5 star product. A little scrutiny reveals that a single user made a positive comment about the product and the developer, giving the item 5 stars. Every other user who has commented has panned the product as unsupported and having various problems.
So based on a single user's rating 18 months ago, this item shows a 5 star rating when it is obvious that most users (80% of them, based on the feedback here) do not consider it to be a 5 star product.
The product appears to perform a useful function - if it worked, and if it did not risk deleting files that it shouldn't. I haven't found anything else that does what this claims to do. Too bad!
Have You Even Tried MacCleanse? - MAC_1984
It is obvious that you have not even tried MacCleanse or you would know a bit more about the app.Reply to This
