Ratings and reviews

Prompts to get rid of bad storage, does a good job directing you to old things you don't want. it would be nice if there was a way during the 'cleanup storage' prompt for you to view the media it prompts to delete. some of the videos/images I knew were old and not needed, but I wish I could've looked at or watched others. If the functionality is there, it's not very intuitive.

It's the safest quickest and easiest way to get rid of junk residue that might be lingering around from something. Once however, the little quick cleanup tactic that is used for removing those junk files all of the sudden stopped working. It just didn't clean anything out anymore. The option to use it was there but it just didn't do anything. After a couple of weeks, however, it's miraculously seem to heal itself and resumed doing its job! Thanks.

As many other reviewers are mentioning, the "clean junk files" button is completely unresponsive. I've had this problem for over a month now and the only thing changing is the amount of storage these files are taking up. Before this, I cleaned out these files regularly, but now the amount it's taking up is 1.43MB and there's nothing I can do about it. Please fix this asap!!!
