I Expected More

I have been a Fiblab customer for years and I have found their Memory Clean product very useful. I have a tendency to have many apps and windows open at the same time and Memory Clean comes to the rescue. I suppose that I was oversold on this product.. I have been attempting to leave some wiggle room on my MBP’s 250 gig hard drive and I am very vigilant in emtying all hard drive hogs. I read a review here indicating that I would get “tons” of space back. That sounded good, but I got only 3.3 GB back. My idea of “tons” of space would be more along the line of 10 to 15 gigs. Sorry, but this isn’t for me. I wanted to clean up my current drive before migrating to a 500 gb SSD. Disk Utility indicated that I have a few corrupt files and I would like to remove of fix them before making the switch.

Almost Too Easy

The new interface is excellent. It allows the user to view individual files and check each one off BEFORE deleting them or select whole groups of files for deletion. It even prompts you to make a Time Machine back up prior to making the final deletion so that if you've made an error you can reinstall any mistakes you've made. Great job guys! This was the money well spent for a program! If you follow the directions (fellow men listen) you can’t go wrong! This app gives you almost every option you could ask for and remembers all you’ve selected from the last time you used it. I tink the few the rated it less than great didn’t read before they clicked and hadn’t made a backup using time machine or some other program. I love it.

Get ready for constant ads for other FIPLAB products

If you get this or any other FIPLAB product you’ll also get neat little (GIANT) ad’s for their other products anytime they want to give it to you. I own several of them sadly and I’m not going to install any of them on my new mac for this reason alone. There is no option to opt out of these ads and it comes without warning when the programs open. These products are OK, but nothing magical and not worth this. I also suspect half of these reviews are fake hype since nobody has mentioned this for a while and a year or so ago a review like this was not alone but now they are buried by glowing reviews. It’s gotten worse and I’m done with it. Lastly get ready to buy this over and over again as they make tiny improvements along with a new fancier name in order to re-sell you the same stuff (remember extreme memory clean anyone?)

Simple Man

Im not a very savvy computer problem solver so I really appreciate tools that are plug-n-play. I have used this application on 4 devices over almost 7 years now and I just continue to trust and rely on it more and more. Its simple, straightforward, and seems very effective to me. I wish it could tell me a little bit more about the files its finding (such as old, large video files) because if it did, I could probably identify more space to clear. But Im happy to do the research manually in this case. I have nothing to compare it to recently because I only use this app for this purpose…and I love it.

Disk Dr. Review

I had another disc cleaner from another company that constantly spams me with their ads so I was hesitant to jump into another disk cleaning APP. I’m so glad I jumped in completely for this cleaner and other products from this developer! Fast—maybe Mach 10! It finds lots of things overlooked by other products that don’t even come close in terms of doing what they advertise! I am so pleased with this APP! I can’t find anything to point out that needs tweeking and this program really does free up space, rather spontaneously. Follow their suggestions and make a back-up just in case...

Love Having that Space Back

I had been having serious trouble with my iMac in the past 24 hours with very slow everything. Even the spinning beach ball would frequently stop spinning. After finally quitting applications and restarting, I ran Disk Doctor. I had completely forgotten that I had it (and Duplicate Detective). That might have been part of my problem, I don’t “clean house” often enough. One run of Disk Doctor, and it found almost 18GB of memory to free up that I didn’t know I had. Works great.

Helped Me Clear Useless Files I Didn’t Even Know I Had

This helped me get rid not only the basic application caches and logs, but also useless files I had stored on my computer that I didn’t even know existed. I’ve probably cleared anywhere between 50 and 100 GB of space on my computer. It can be a bit time consuming to have to uncheck files that I don’t want deleted and a feature to check or uncheck all would be helpful in an update but it’s worth it regardless.

Noticed an immediate difference

I’ve had my MacBook Pro for over 5 years now. I use it daily for work, studying and leisure. Over these years it has gathered a lot of clutter and junk.

I thought it was time to give my MacBook a good clean, so I purchased Disk Doctor and within a few minutes I had removed several GB of unneeded files, caches, backups etc.

Honestly, my Mac is now as good as new. Highly recommend this app to everyone.

Yes.. its that good.

I’ve been using Clean my MAC for a while. It works, but tends to be very slow when scanning. Disk doctor is super fast and found a heap of other data that CMM didnt.

For example, it has a tab that simply lists your biggest files… when you realise you have 3 copys of a movie or a 7 gig concert video you delete , that is a time saver.

DD is worth the money. Honestly, i wish i got this 2 years ago!

Very Happy Mac Whiz!

Have used this app multiple times on various machines & have to say it works as well as described. I happen to agree with other users that this is an excellent app. Update:July2017, SStill running this app on multiple machines & I couldn’t be happier. Its Quick, Quiet & thorough. It saves me time from having to manualy clean things up. And its ridiculously easy to use. Well worth the couple bucks spent.
