"CleanMyMac 2 is an ingeniously simple and powerful application for keeping your Mac clean, organized and free of files that slow it down. It’s simply the best Mac cleaner around!"

Have to say, it's one of the nicest looking apps I've used too:

You can download a trial. I recommend it, it's a great little app to have.

It's not junk at all. Yes there are a few of the tools that you could simply do yourself, but there are a number of very handy things it does and having a number of tools automated is useful.

pingwing - you haven't uninstalled if it's still popping up. Perhaps a tool to automate a complete removal of an app would be handy for you?...

Feek - you say it's junk then go on to explain how it was useful to you. Clearly not junk is it.

Anyway, I like the app and find it useful. Thought others might want to try it.

Where did I say I've used it and then explain how it was useful to me? I didn't, so please don't put words into my mouth.

It's your opinion and clearly myself and other people have a different opinion which we're perfectly entitled to share.

Ah, i misread your comment.

And yes, opinions, opinions, opinions; we're all grown ups and I'm not here to stop you contributing. However, you've clearly never used it or anything like it so I'll take your comment (or blind agreement with another poster) with a pinch of salt.

Good for you. As someone with an older Apple Certifications on OS X I'm advising them to avoid it.

It basically does three types of thing :
1) Maintenance performed by the OS automatically. Why duplicate it?
2) Removing unnecessary languages and unneeded code from Universal Binaries - potentially dangerous and of very little benefit for the return of a couple of GB disk space maximum.
3) Deleting Applications. Mildly useful but nothing the user couldn't do manually or via a freeware applications. That's a £35 saving right there.

Well, your advice is welcome but in the years I've been using the app it hasn't caused me a single problem and has in fact been very useful.

I'm not going to list the useful tools it has built in to it, but it goes beyond the three you've mentioned.

Oh, and it's £17.50 at the moment like I said.
