Break the bank 4 nothing
Very costly and I wasn’t impressed and like another user I feel this is a scam 2 trap users in2 a subscription whom fail 2 read the terms of the subscription. Maybe @ a future time the price will drop. A weekly charge should b charged 2 monthly and I might try it out again. AI is not a good thing. It’s bad 4 the environment and the people living around the database centers. I would b open 2 maybe paying. @ this point I don’t know if it works as well as they claim. I don’t trust the developer. Can’t b too careful
Lying
All of these apps say FREE AND THEY ARE NOT FREE
Not worth the money
An app like this should have more free features or it should disclose that it is a paid app
SCAM - Tries to trick you into Buying stay away
App keeps the purchase and continue button towards the bottom of the screen so you can’t swipe up and leave it. Stay away.
Bosco
Nothing happened
Rip off
When you sign up it says 79 cents for one week and 100% refund. instead, they charged me $6.99 and I can’t get a refund.
Lied on ad and said it was free
This is definitely not free. The first the they do is ask you for money. So the first thing I did was delete it. I don’t trust an app that starts off lying and deceiving me before I even use it. Definitely a scam. Do not download!
Scam Alert
This app lies in the advertising. App is useless unless you pay. And every review people leave the creators respond the same way every time.
“AI CleanKit is designed to make phone cleanup feel simpler and more organized by helping sort photos, identify duplicates, and clearly show storage details in a visual way 🧹✨ Many users enjoy the smart cleanup and guided organization tools once they spend some time exploring the app.” They don’t address the real problems people are mentioning in the app.

Not Free
The app claims to be free but it’s not. You’re better off deleting pictures manually than using this sorry excuse of a cleaning app.
This app sucks
Great side hustle to get you for $.29 Not a single piece of dust came out of phone
Do not download this app
Big lie, won’t change or clean anything in your phone.
Price.
It’s not free at all. It wants a payment before the app is even accessible. How can you claim it’s services are free
Fake Product and Reviewers!
This page is fake.
There’s not a big enough fan inside the iPhone to push that amount of dirt out of your phone. This is nothing but pure scam. It’s nothing but pure AI.
Oh yeah you forget to cancel the subscription and you get stuck paying for a whole entire year at $10.95
Real good business aucmen Dudes!!!!

Stop lying nothing is free
It’s free to look but to use any of the real features you have to pay. On top of that there is no guarantee the dust and water in your phone will actually clear out. You need to install a single sample test to allow customers to feel like it’s worth spending money on. And having it as a weekly is way too absurd. Why not make it monthly instead of weekly. It would be more affordable for one. And two no one will use the app weekly it’s unrealistic. overall i see no potential and don’t plan on putting any of my information into your app because quite frankly i believe it is a scam but thats my opinion.

Wow. I actually paid for it. And I don’t think a SINGLE dust particle fell out of my speakers.
They also try every other way to scam you in the app and play you ads.

They just want money
I downloaded it and I tried to delete my duplicates they said you could use it without paying but that’s a lie I can’t even delete them without them wanting me to pay $13 a week I don’t have that kind of money. So don’t do it they’re just gonna want your money in the end the app is useless unless you pay
Don’t Download This Apple is part of the problem!
Warning: The "9.8 GB of duplicates" alert is a fake scare tactic used to lure you into a "fleeceware" trap.
• Deceptive Marketing: This app doesn't actually scan your phone; it uses predatory web ads to trick you into paying for features your iPhone already provides for free.
• Apple’s Role: By hosting these apps and taking a 15-30% cut of the overpriced subscriptions, Apple acts as an accessory to this deception for monetary gain.
• Use Built-in Tools: Save your money. Go to your Photos app > Albums > Duplicates to merge files securely and for free.
Don't download this. It's a subscription trap that exploits and gives Apple a Kick Back

App doesn’t work
Apple Store shouldn’t allow these apps to charge money up front for something that is advertised to work and doesn’t
Liar
Not free you say that because u get paid for ever time it gets down loaded false advertisement
Hate this ad
Annoying beyond words
Can’t cancel!!
$13 a week for nothing and my requests to cancel go totally unanswered. Can’t figure out how to cancel.
False advertising
Ad showed air blowing out from speakers and lightning slot. Not possible and there’s no less dust in those area than there was when I installed it.
Unsubscribe
I get to many emails from you can you take me off your mailing list please thanks
Fake
Trying to clean the notice that phone is full. All I can access is pictures which has already been taken care of. Very bad option.
BS
Says free then you charge
Deceptive Ad Pop-up
How are we to believe anything else? Never, now.
BS
Nothing happened during cleaning cycle. Had this phone for years, never cleaned it. Could not feel any air movement as shown in demo blowing out a candle. Canceling this app
BS

Informational is misleading., the memory on my phone is full so i’m forced to utilize this service just Like the 8k+ subscribers today who all paid at Least .29 just Like me., can I have the . .29 from 190 of the 8k+ “supporters” you know how to find me.,
If it was free and if it did what it is suppose to do then I would pay for it.half these apps don’t
If it was free and if it did what it is suppose to do then I would pay for it. Half these apps don’t even do what they say they suppose to do and make more trouble for you then help you.
