However, recurring issues include compatibility problems after Android updates (especially Android 16) that break cleaning on several devices, privacy concerns around data access, heavy reliance on ads, and ongoing support/refund frustrations. Overall sentiment is mixed: many applaud its cleaning ability, while a sizable portion experiences reliability, privacy, or support problems. ### Pros - Significant storage space gains and effective cleaning (large free-space increases) - Easy to use with a one-click clean - Cleans caches and junk to free space - Can uninstall unused apps to reclaim space ### Cons - Compatibility issues with newer Android versions (notably Android 16) causing cleaning to fail or the app not working on Pixel devices - Privacy concerns and aggressive data-access prompts (file access, photos) and confusing data-consent settings - Ads and monetization frustrations (ads shown for cleaning, paid upgrade friction) - Poor customer support and refund difficulties ## Similar extensions and apps - [Super Clean-Master of Cleaner](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.mobikeeper.global) — 19,542,028 users, 4.54 / 5 - [CleanerMaster](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.cleaner.cleanermaster) — 11 users - [Phone Cleaner Master](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.phone.cleaner.master.starser) — 4,284 users - [Clean Up Storage Phone Cleaner](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.fast.clean.master) — 4,191 users - [Phone Cleaner - Clear Junk](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.mystoragecleaner.switch) — 136,882 users - [Phone Junk Cleaner-App manager](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.clean.junk.files.Phonecleaner.junk.cleaner.cache) — 34,938 users - [Fast Cleaner Junk - Quick](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.zhangsan.fastclean.wh) — 9,520 users - [Smart Cleaner - Phone Manager](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.cleanmaster.trashcleaner.junkeraser) — 9,864 users, 4.42 / 5 - [Phone Cleaner - Junk Cleanup](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.cleaner.clean.phone.antivirus.cleanup.junk.storage.security) — 233,981 users - [Phone Clean-Master Cleaner pro](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.baylol.phone.masterclean) — 31,603 users - [Junk Cleaner - Cleanup Phone](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.cleantool.cleanpartner) — 157,476 users, 3.87 / 5 - [Phone Cleaner: Junk & Cache](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.junk_cleaner_app.junk_cleaner_app) — 2,678 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.piriform.ccleaner)
