Avast Cleanup – Phone Cleaner

I purchased Avast Ultimate and was offered 'Cleanup' for free. I didn't really need it when it was free, and I need it even less now they expect me to pay for it. The cleanup features aren't that great, plus I dislike apps that are 'free' to start with but then they expect you to pay to continue using them. Personally, I'd rather do without it, thank you. Uninstalled and binned it.

Like most people who use the phone for work and games, I've had serious battery life issues. Having to keep going through setup to force stop background app tasks to improve gets tedious as most of the apps are used each day and half of them leave tasks running once ' closed'. This app hibernates these background tasks easily, no hassle. Once the background app tasks were shut down, battery life improved to an acceptable once per day charging cycle. For me, worth every penny!

Used to be a great app. Now you have to pay for what was once free! It'll only clean thumbnails & app data for free. I get that there are costs to the company involved, but, in these times not many people are gonna pay for something that was once free!! It's likely to lose them more users than gain them more paying customers! Also it may impact Avasts overall reputation or maybe they just need extra revenue to pay for the TV advertising. Think I'll look for another app for cleaning my phone.
