## Review summary

Reviews show a split between past value and current reliability. Many users praised the app as user-friendly and capable of cleaning storage and cache when it worked, and some even called it the only app able to clean iPhone storage. However, a large number of reviews report that updates removed the core cleaning features (the clean button), leaving the app useless for its main purpose. Users also complain about unclear or costly subscription pricing, ongoing charges, and poor support. Overall sentiment is negative due to broken functionality and billing issues, with little reassurance of timely fixes.

### Pros

- User-friendly, efficient and convenient.
- When functioning, it cleans storage and cache effectively.
- Historically stood out as one of the few tools able to clean iPhone storage or system files.

### Cons

- Core cleaning function (the clean button) disappeared after the latest update, making the app unusable for its main purpose.
- Pricing is confusing or expensive, with ongoing charges and unclear upfront costs.
- Customer support is slow or unresponsive, with difficulty obtaining refunds or cancellations.
- After updates, the app becomes buggy and stops cleaning, sometimes failing to clean storage or cache.
- Users feel the app has degraded from a once-useful tool to something unreliable.
