I downloaded this bc I just paid for the yearly subscription for the Avast Mobile Security app, and it leads you to download this for the cleaning part, and at first I thought it was good, but the last 4 times I cleaned my phone, it took 27 mins, just for me to realize it hasn't even cleaned it. The first time it took a couple mins. And I have uninstalled several apps on my phone so that's way more space now than the first time it cleaned it. It's ridiculous.

Hi, sorry to hear that. The scanning itself is quite fast, but it can be slowed down by folders with a huge number (thousands) of files. We would like to help you, could you please contact us on android@avast.com or our direct support (Menu - Help & feedback) and tell them further details? Thanks. Hector*Avast

I've used the free version of this cleaner for years (I also have the paid version of the antivirus). It's loaded on several of our phones and has performed wonderfully. It seems to be selective on which phones it will clean the hidden cache and browser history. I recently upgraded to a new phone and it will not clean those 2 items unless I purchase the cleaner. Seems like they are always looking to bleed more fees despite the constant barrage of ads. I will be looking for a different cleaner.

Hi, maintaining a unique feature like deleting hidden cache is a demanding long-term matter that creates costs for us, as we need to deal with different brands and versions of operating systems constantly. This feature became premium to receive proper care. Thanks for understanding. Hector*Avast

If you like ads you're gonna LOVE Avast Cleanup! You get to watch at least three ads every time you use it. Best of all, some of them are 60+ seconds long with no ability to skip. Isn't that great?!! Avast thinks so, as they stuff their pockets at your expense and teeth-gnashing irritation. Sorry, not sorry, Avast greed-heads. There are too many alternatives out there to waste time with your ads and mandatory updates.

Hi, unless you are using the "paid for free" version (where you can use some Premium stuff in exchange for watching full ads), all ads should be skippable after the first 5 seconds. If you like the app itself, please consider upgrading - there are no ads in the Premium version. Hector*Avast
