CCleaner Customer Insights

1. Now it's just broken, crashes on launch, and I hear the only working part of the free version is the ad delivery.This is supposed to delete duplicate photos from Google Photos? Right...waste of my time, doesn't even mention duplicates on the free version, then it wants you to add a bunch of junk.

2. Since the recent update, app functionality has improved, so nothing negative to say!I'm a genuine person and I very rarely recommend apps (due to user experience, crash, constant ads, "free" - trial only) CCleaner has been around for decades.

3. I have tons of pics and it's very hard to find duplicates, much less remember.... Don't waste your timeReally good cleaner! Is missing one major option: it doesn't reduce heat when too many open apps heat the phone.

4. Overall a nice app but the free version basically just cleans your files and that's about all it does.This used to be my go-to app for maintaining my phone.

5. I've used this app and the desktop version for Windows for over a decade and been very satisfied with both the paid and free versions.

6. I just upgraded to Android 13 and now features (Sleep Mode) from the free version are locked behind a paywall that is nearly twice the cost of the previous version.

7. Doesn't do the "deep cleaning" it says the paid version will do, well, it does it, but does not give the promised results...not even close.

8. I paid because I could afford it, and because their free version was still helping so many users.

9. I was considering purchasing the app, as well as the desktop version, but with this functionality problem I can't see doing it.

10. The process is very intuitive and direct.Not a fan, especially of the paid version.

11. Now their idea of boosting your phone is force stopping your apps.
