Double payment - several letters ; no response !

I have been using MacPaw for many years.
Last year I was billed on 12 January and 27 october for the same program !
Now a new bill for 12. January.
Several letter to Paddle about this issue but no answer whatsoever !
When I try to cancel my subscription I got told to "calm down" !
This kind of customer "care" is not acceptable !

Excellent Service

Excellent, timely response from Macpaw on a query I had with Cleanmymac. Polina was very helpful and all was resolved excellently. Thank you.

I love the product and the company!

I've had CleanMyMac for a few years now, and it is flawless! It knows how to do what I don't to keep my computer running happily. I don't have to worry about a thing. For some reason, this year, when the subscription renewed, I couldn't get it to run. A quick note to Support and a fast response, but still, no go. It only took about 20 minutes total, and it's back online and running fine. Super Customer Support, and a great product!

Easy to install, not so much to delete

I had to jump through hoops to completely delete it and get assistance from ChatGPT

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

We’re glad to hear that the app was easy to install. However, we’re sorry to learn that removing it took more effort than expected. Although CleanMyMac can be uninstalled like any other app, we understand that leftover files or system restrictions can sometimes complicate the process.

Our support team is always happy to guide users through complete and safe removal. We’re also continuously working on making installation and uninstallation as straightforward as possible.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Your feedback helps us improve.

MacPaw continues to amaze at how low they'll go...

Being a long-time customer of MacPaw with both CleanMyMac and their Setapp Subscription Service - I'm amazed at just HOW BAD their products have gotten and where support has even gone…

MacPaw makes quite a few products but none of them seem to really do what they're intended to. When a feature is introduced in one of their products, you really can't expect it to work. Reaching out to support will result in a gigantic waste of time with either their AI assistant or humans that are actually LESS helpful. Support reps generally seem to have no clue about what the latest release of their software includes, and when you remind them that it's a feature they advertise - they start gaslighting you.

Now assuming you get through to one of them and they realize that MAYBE this is a support issue that needs addressing - they'll have you run their famous "Support Tool" which collects "logs" but ends up collecting personal photos and documents from your desktop and documents folders, zips them up, and asks you to send them to MacPaw. It's literally the definition of MALWARE and now I know why people immediately turn their noses up at MacPaw and CleanMyMac.

Sadly this company seems to have lost their scruples and just wants to push as much AI Slop as they can onto the market to somehow justify their raising subscription fees. The problem is: nobody really wants to pay a subscription to a company that keeps removing software from the catalog.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We apologize for the difficulties you have encountered. We would like to clarify a few important points to avoid any misunderstandings.

Our Support Tool does not automatically collect or transmit personal data. It generates a local diagnostic report on the user's device and saves it to the desktop. This allows users to review the report's contents before deciding whether to share it. Rest assured that nothing is uploaded or transmitted to MacPaw without your explicit authorization. This approach is designed to provide users with complete transparency and control over their personal data.

The issue you encountered is a known edge case related to the authentication flow. This is not an intentional practice, and the case has been escalated within the company. We are currently reviewing ways to improve this integration and prevent similar situations in the future.

We acknowledge your frustration and take your critical feedback seriously. Your case is currently under review, and our team is collaborating with the developers to assess the reported behavior. We would like to clarify that our communication with you has not been closed or ignored.

We value your willingness to share your experience, even when it is critical. Feedback of this nature helps us identify areas that require improvement.

Reliable macOS Utility with Professional Support

CleanMyMac is a well-designed macOS utility that performs reliably and as advertised. The interface is clear, system impact is minimal, and maintenance tasks are easy to manage. MacPaw’s support service is responsive, knowledgeable, and efficient, which adds confidence in long-term use of the product.

Double Billed - can't get refund!

I have been using McPaw for years on my Mac with no problem. Suddenly I was billed for separate yearly subscriptions in September and October. I contacted them and they keep sending emails in response saying "they haven't had a response from me" on this issue. Totally false. Each inquiry I send takes about a month to get the same response from them, saying the exact same thing. This company used to be fantastic. I just want my refund for the second subscription.

after waiting many weeks I got a good answer

When I finally got a detailed answer, it was explained very well and satisfied me. What made me take two stars off, is that it took many weeks before I was seriously contacted. (30. Sept to 5. Dec.)

Second Time Worked

It was great after the second communication. Initially I described my problem in the message I sent via your website and got back a generic reply regarding use of CleanMyMac. When I responded by reiterating the issue I was having I immediately got an extremely helpful response back, which I promptly put to use. Thank you.
