Here you will be able to see how serious the issues are and what files will be deleted – though you cannot select files you want to be spared. If you use the One Touch cleanup, which searches for junk in every location on your computer, you will always get that aforementioned vocal warning.

Whether we performed scans using the One Touch feature or picked an individual scan, the process never took longer than seconds on our MacBook Air and could be repeated without limits. The client also gives you the option to download (and additionally pay for) Mac Ads Cleaner, another app developed by the same company that surprisingly includes some system optimizing features that Advanced Mac Cleaner doesn’t, such as iTunes and iOS junk cleanup. The client itself is nothing special: the functions are self-explanatory and are divided into three logical categories, namely cleanup features, utilities and the file manager. This is a nice touch, especially for the visually impaired, but for regular users it might become irritating after a while. Once you activate your software, the automated scanning goes away but the vocal warning remains every time you choose the ‘all-in’ (manual) scans. The first time you open Advanced Mac Cleaner’s client and every time you launch the program without license key, the software performs a quick scan and a voice warns you that the cleanup is starting. Not only that but you’ll also get access to an uninstaller, internet history wiper and a file manager, with which you can keep other parts of your Mac clean as well. If you purchase this software – which actually becomes cheaper the more you use it – you will get access to a decent client with the most important cleanup options, ranging from a voice-aided full scan and cleanup to such rarities as a rogue app remover. Hailing from India, Advanced Mac Cleaner is the latter, offering a basic cleaning solution despite a name that literally has the word “advanced” in it. Sometimes it’s possible to come across hidden gems, while other times you might find a solution that is not that spectacular, but manages to do the job anyway. Although the market is crammed with many well-known Mac optimization software (some of which we have reviewed thoroughly already), there are still plenty of optimizers out there to choose from if you’re ready to accept a few compromises or risks.
