That is not a good way to do business, and even if it were a solid app, it's hard to support these practices. Torrent notifies you concerning the necessary updates in your Mac and helps you solve those points that your Mac has to face. CleanMyMac X, though routinely updated (now version 4.11.0) and well cared for by its developer, MacPaw, still seems to be in danger of having run into the latter category. So people who just go to the website to buy pay $89 (or $69 when they get a deal of the day), but when they pay from the nag screen, they only pay $56. This is clearly done to play on the insecurities of the less-than-tech-savvy users, who might believe that their machine is now in a worse state than before they ran the app, and need to pay now to get a clean system.Įven when trying to close the nag screen by pressing the little X in the corner, the X turns into "Don't leave yet, get your personal discount", which opens the website and gives you even more discount than their "Deal of the day" which is shown after you download the trial. The main cleaning component promises to remove gigabytes of files from a PC and is backed up by five maintenance tools: Secure Erase, Complete Uninstall, Registry Maintenance, Autorun, and Gadgets & Extensions Manager.
While it's OK to provide only limited functionality in a trial version, the appsshould be upfront about what the limitation is.Įspecially with an app that is supposed to clean your system, it's really messed up to run an activity only partially, and then ask for money. CleanMyPC includes a suite of cleaning tools for Windows computers.
Trial version only cleans 500 MB, but it does not disclose that limit before one pushes the button to clean after a scan.
