Ratings and reviews

Been using the app for 5 years and was initially impressed by how functional and time saving it was. Most apps these days take up a lot of space, so it was helpful to have an app that could solve that problem. However, the app is kinda mid now. Can't even clean unwanted and hidden files etc, without sending me back to the quick clean section everytime I choose finish cleaning. An absolute waste and scummy tactic to force you to spend money when they previously allowed you to use "free" premium.

I've used Cleanup for years. But, I'll be looking for a new FREE cleanup app now. I was having the same problem, as mentioned in recent reviews, of ads not loading to run the deep clean. I did an uninstall/reinstall to see if that resolved the issue. I learned that the deep clean is now a premium option requiring a subscription. Not happening. And shame on the Avast team for their replies implying that the issue is anything other than an intentional change to a premium option.

Update 2/19/25 Stopped working. For several weeks now, the ad won't load that is required to perform the cleaning. It will only do a tiny, minimal cleaning. There's no sense in using it if it won't do the complete quick clean. Further on 2/19/25: cleared cache, restart, still won't load ad. Cleared cache & data, now says features that were available free (with ads) are premium. Have used avast for years, have a paid security subscription-this unannounced change is unacceptable.
