Cleaner – Clean Duplicate Item Reviews

I use my personal phone for work. Somehow my contacts got duplicated and I had over 2400 contacts + 3200 spam contacts from linking my phone to someone else’s, it would have taken me 3 hours to try delete the duplicate contacts but I can’t finish. Then I have tried to delete the duplicate contacts by using apps. After downloading an another app to delete my duplicate contacts but that disappointed me. I lost my contacts. Fortunately contacts had backup on my computer.

After few months I want to merge my contacts but it didn’t work as my expectation. I have used many other apps which work best for merge contacts. I don’t know how many apps I had until downloading Cleaner and watching it for me. But I never knew there was an app that could help me. I downloaded Cleaner with the intension to be able merge duplicate contacts in one click.

The first and only contact management application that I could find which really makes the job. It can also compress my photos & videos size which was an extra benefit for me because I was suffering my poor storage. I can also remove my unwanted files & check my phone battery detail status.

Finally, I was successful. 😊😊😊

Can’t open videos for the compress function. The compress function in and of itself doesn’t seem to work, or if it does, it takes forever. The similar names tool seems meaningless because a name like “Katrina” and “Katina” are actually two different people. Seems like the UI could use some work too. But beyond my gripes lies a useful app for taking out the grunt work in cleaning up the debris in our file system. Thanks guys.

It’s too bad... The interface is well thought out. But a good 30% of the “duplicate” photos are not even similar or from the same date, so unless you open each suggested collection you risk losing a photo you want to keep. On top of that it only worked for me once after freezing up my phone on 4 tries. I went ahead and paid $4.99 for the package, and it still froze. Not just Cleaner but the whole phone freezes for an extended time, it’s pretty scary. And when I reopened Cleaner it had forgotten that I had already paid the premium(which Cleaner developers seem to know is a problem so they put a “restore” button in the corner, but at first it’s confounding. So overall I can’t say this really saved me any time. Disappointing, and I don’t know how to get my money back.

Cleaner does not do anything for you unless you pay a monthly fee or use a free trial which after 3 days charges your card. Pretty standard practice BUT Cleaner provides no visible way to actually cancel you membership. Besides that obviously terrible flaw Cleaner doesn’t even help you with pictures(I have not used it for contacts). Cleaner can not distinguish a picture of a cat from a car it is just absolutely terrible. I have multiple pictures I actually do have duplicates or higher/lower resolutions of and instead of detecting those it brings up a huge list of over 200 obviously and visibly different images that are clearly 1 off original photos with no similarities or pattern, not in lighting, not in colors, and not even subject matter. I wish I could rate Cleaner 0/5 but unfortunately 1/5 will have to do.

Terrible app, doesn’t do much to clear up space, and flashes pop ups at you until it gets you to accidentally purchase the premium 5$ version. Cannot even complete many of the tasks (such as combining your contacts, it’ll say complete and then tell you the same duplicates exist when you reopen) and you still have to go in and individually select each photo duplicate or video to remove or compress. I might as well just hook it up to my computer for free and do everything one by one. This saves zero time, and the cheap pop ups to purchase the full version feel like a scam to get you to accidentally purchase (they look exactly like the “please execute task” buttons that you have to answer to complete EVERY single photo deletion or video compression)

I did kinda enjoy it a bit however, it deleted a LOT of photos that aren't even similar. and I had a subscription to being able to delete more photos etc for a good month or so. I didn't use Cleaner as much as I thought I was going to so I cancelled it. It said that my subscription will be cancelled but I can still have the features till the 20th of November. So I tried opening it to see if I did have some useless data on my phone and it won't open anymore. I want my $8 back for just this month to be honest cause I have 7 more days to use the feature till I can't anymore but it cut short 'cause it wanted to act stupid and not open.

I carefully selected about 500 similar photos to delete and it took me about 20-30 minutes to choose. When I hit the delete button, it says I can delete 5 counts limit photos a day. If I wanna delete all 500 photos I selected, I need to try it free and auto-subscribe Cleaner for $9.99 per month. I have no problem with paying that money if I like Cleaner . However, it was very disappointing that Cleaner did not explain that before I select all those pictures to delete. I was upset and decided not to delete those photos and to review here instead. This is my first ever review of Cleaner Store. Very disappointing.

It fails to accurately spot duplicates. Re: photos, it was NEVER accurate in spotting duplicates, and the images it claimed to be duplicates weren’t even close (e.g. a screenshot of a text and a group photo on a red carpet were grouped as duplicates). Re: contacts, I scrolled thru the first 20 matches, and not a single one was a true duplicate; every single “duplicate” was two DIFFERENT people. Had I automatically accepted their search results, I’d have lost hundreds of photos, merged a couple hundred unrelated contacts, and lost about 100 contacts by merging the info from one contact under another contact’s name. If you have thousands of photos and contacts, FIND ANOTHER APP and DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

Bought and PAID FOR several features of Cleaner. All of a sudden it stopped working...months ago. Been emailing back and forth with “support” and keep getting promised that it will be up and running again soon and still - NOTHING. NO REFUND, EMPTY PROMISES, and an app that doesn’t even open anymore. NOT HAPPY. NOT WORTH PAYING FOR, took my money and left me with NOTHING. THANKS “Brain” from “support” (yes, it was from a person named “Brain”) for all the empty promises in your emails. For NOTHING. Very disappointing. It WAS a good app but how can I say that anymore? Until they actually fix it like they’ve been promising, I will not rate Cleaner for anything positive. Thanks a lot....NOT.

I would personally like to gather every who gave Cleaner great ratings into one old barn and beat their pixel faces in before calmly walking away and letting the zombie hoard eat them. I hope they taste better than their taste was. Cleaning photos... let’s see. Pulling duplicates. I guess if think a screen shot of text messages is a duplicate photo in a group with 4 models wearing wedding gowns, then yes. Bravo. Well done. And before you ask, yes. There indeed were other pictures of dresses. Those aren’t duplicates. Even if it’s the same dress, different pose- not a duplicate. What’s worse, I had no option to delete them. Totally useless.

So Cleaner started off great but then after about 15-25 mins I was cleaning my phone out it wouldn’t let me delete anything because, it would say you have to pay. I just want to have Cleaner for free! Can you guys respond but anything other than that Cleaner is awesome !👏

Cleaner is very handy and user friendly. My only complaint, and it’s a big one, is I have had this happen multiple times, where when using the photo duplicity scan and erase, I have selected some 200 photos to be erased as duplicates, only to have Cleaner crash upon selecting the “delete” button, and once I go back into it, I have to start all over. Talk about wasting 30 minutes or more. Not fun.

Sometime after the most recent iOS update Cleaner stopped working for me. Too bad too because I paid for the full version.
Customer support from the developer is NONE as I have tried to contact them several times with no response.
I have uninstalled/reinstalled Cleaner several times to no avail. When you attempt to open Cleaner it begins to open, does its little spin thing and then immediately shuts down. Cleaner is still open and you have to force it closed.
Maybe giving them a one star review will get some response. Or my money back... ya right!

At first Cleaner merged ALL 200 of my contacts under one contract. After Erasing and restoration from a previous iCloud backup 86 of them were recovered however the others were still lost under this one contact. Being that I suffer from Chronic Illness my doctors were very important to my health and the fact that I no longer have all of their phone numbers and can’t recover them is a danger to my health for which you are responsible! I will never use your product again and warn people against it since it corrupts iCloud backups as well!

If you are photogenic or one of the capture the moment type of Individuals. Cleaner is the one for you. I just cleared 1,000 duplicate photos clearing up space on my iPhone as well.

At first I was skeptical so I checked “recently deleted” to my surprise everything looks good. 10/10 a few people are upset regarding the in app purchase but in my opinion it’s worth it! Thanks you BPmobile you nailed it!

Look. I have no problem paying for apps...if they’re good. The ones I’ll pay for are one of two things-extremely we’ll known (adobe stuff for instance) or so great to use I upgrade.

If it cost money initially, I will research it and decide if it’s worth shelling up for. If it is free, and I love it, I will happily upgrade. If is says free but does basically literally NOTHING except bombard you with offers to upgrade, all but one, completely useless function available?

I will give it a bad review on principle alone.

So I have no idea if Cleaner is good or not. I do know that the people marketing it as free are not concerned with ethical standards in selling and have no qualms about wasting your time.

Don’t be liars and time wasters-just make your product good enough to charge for from the jump, or good enough to give a usable amount of options for free, and too tempting not to upgrade.

Do better.

It won’t open anymore and therefore can’t report the “crash”... so I’m writing it here in hopes that someone sees it. I’ve got way too many pictures on my phone and have been using Cleaner to slowly chip away at the photos I have so I can eventually update my phone. I’ve never gotten the chance even when I cleared enough space due signal issues, but now that I have better internet I need Cleaner to help sort through my images.

Seemed to randomly group my photos into sets of “duplicates” where every photo was extremely different and unrelated. Occasionally there would be two photos that did look similar, but they would be in a group with 8 to 40 other completely unrelated photos. It did always sort the photos into the same weird groupings if I exited Cleaner , stopped its background processing, and then restarted. But, the groups were nonsensical, so the sorting was useless.
Cleaner modes seem like they would be very helpful, if they worked at all. As it stands, I’m deleting it.

So it says “auto clean” after the duplicate photo search. Then it comes up with the duplicates, but you need to select each one individually, then hit “delete duplicates” since it found 3000 duplicates on my phone, this is a total waste of time. It is no faster using this program than just going through and deleting the photos manually. Also there are no instructions with Cleaner, just a completely useless tutorial that does not tell you how to accomplish anything. Don’t waste your money on Cleaner.

Cleaner saves both the time and device storage. I have just used it and instantly get it's benifits. It's deficult to select one by one the similar and duplicate images and remove from device. Through Cleaner i have selected them within one click and delete from stroage. Very much fast and smooth. Recommended!!
