i will not install or touch cleanmaster in 100 years. it is so much of a bloatware that i hate is as hell. used it sometimes for me and it slowed down my phone abit. and they spyed on there users and it was sometimes not avaiable for download because of spying. for me, they are just shady and not trustworthly. I will have a look at wise, thanks. :)

Heard about it. Some says if u want the full potential u need the pro version and that the free is verry limite. Is it true? I have no problem to pay if its worth buying.

App cleaning feature is paid. I think this means apps cache. System cleaner(thumbnails, empty folder) and corpse finder(leftovers of deleted apps) are free.

I completely agree. In fact this applies to all of Cheetah Mobile's apps I've tried, particularly CM Security. And as for all the ads, these alone make their products unusable imo.

I've tried quite a few of these cleaners and I don't really think they're that necessary with Android. Would your gf feel comfortable going into settings and, say, clearing the cache that way?

Alrdy suggest it. But it seems its just to annoying for her, dont know why. Well, she hate things with technologie that costs time :D I try avast cleaner at the moment and it have a "safe clean" button on the android page. that seems perfekt for her. Maybe i find something better but that doesnt seems bad.

I've used 60+ different cleaning apps, and typically there's not much difference in the cleaning abilities of different apps. I've only found a few which stand out.

Power Clean, and MAX Optimizer (it's called Super Speed,Clean,Security-MAX in the Play Store), both find a lot of junk to clean, and MAX Optimizer includes an antivirus.

SD Maid, which has been mentioned already is also good. It cleans more junk if your device is rooted. I have the Pro version, and you can see the differences between the free and paid pro versions here.

Root Cleaner, is also very good. But, it's a paid apd and can only be used on rooted devices.

I've tried CCleaner, but the Android version is very unremarkable in my opinion and the apps I've mentioned above all will find more junk to clean. In my opinion it's not worth using.

If there is plenty of space free on your Android device, there's often not much point in cleanning junk. However, if it's running out of storage space, then cleaners can help improve performance and free up space. Personally, I run cleaning software regularly as there's not much free space on my device and I often don't have enough space to install new apps or app updates from the Play Store. Usually, I can free up enough space by using cleaning apps.

I found SDMaid the best cleaner out there
I also found cleanmaster light is highly effective. However, the background RAM consumption is unacceptable. Clean -> remove immediately

those can clean a high amount of trash

I have also used them before for that purpose although I never found any use out of them since I strayed away from the already installed OS by the vendor.

Unfortunately my Android phone (Meizu M2) does not let me move apps to my SD Card, which severely limits internal storage space. I can get around this by rooting the phone and using Link2SD, but I prefer to have my phone not rooted, because as soon as I install any OTA updates, it will become unrooted again anyway.
