Cleaner Guru: Cleaning App Reviews

Personally I totally recommend this cleaner. I was trying to use another one (don’t remember the name) and I guess there was smth wrong with the scanning algorithm, cause it suggested me to delete photos that weren’t event a duplicates. CleanerGuru doesn’t have this problem. Don’t know how they do it, but it’s smth really cool!
Normally, I take a lot of photos at a time, you know to find the best angle for the best pic and that’s why my iphone is a mess 🙈 Every month I clean my storage with CleanerGuru, delete duplicates of a photos and that’s a real lifesaver (yeah it is)! It’s fast, looks nice and perfectly finds duplicates. All that I needed.
My only criticism is the video. Why CleanerGuru still can’t find duplicates of a video? It would be very hot, cause video take up much space. I think it’s obvious, don’t know why developer haven’t done this. Bu the way, I’m a PRO use (as they call it), I bought a subscription and can’t wait when they introduce another plans, more cheeper of course 😄😄
Hope developers will heed my view. Cheers

Helped me a lot to get rid of so many unnecessary photos, videos, documents and doubled contacts. Now I have 2 times more free memory to fill with something I really need.
I was afraid to clean my phone and loose some important files forever, but CleanerGuru kindly suggested me to remove files I was not using for very long time and files where deleted only after I approved it. Deleted files are stored in trash bin (folder “deleted photos” for example if we are talking about photos and videos). This was the first time I used such a program, previously I used to delete all photos manually and it was soooooo long and boring.
Now I am sure that my phones’ small memory of 64gb is used with its maximum efficiency, as I receive suggestions what to delete at least once in a few days.
I have no more problems with not being able to use my camera because of memory overload)) same with opening messengers, my device in general started working much better.
I am sure CleanerGuru is worth trying for any smartphone owner, who uses phone for more purposes in spite of making calls and texting!!
Highly recommend

I started by try to compress 1 video and I had my phone plugged in and I waited 4 hours and 20 mins for one 30 second video to compress and nothing . It totally tied my phone up and was useless. First off CleanerGuru says Free, We’ll folks it’s not. It cost 6.99 per week. I HATE when I’m lied too. I think they do this so they get all our information and that’s their BOTTOM LINE. They then in turn sell it or listen in on you . Or basically anything they want to do with our private information . Second of all it don’t work. 4 hours 20 minutes for one compressed Video is totally unreal. I don’t understand.

Dont know if I like it yet. Installation was easy….since the installation I’ve had a good experience with CleanerGuru. I appreciate it so much when we are given opportunities to secure what is valuable to us and be rid of what is not. Thank you so much.

So, looked at the reviews, pretty sure this is botted bc it has a 4.2 star rating. It literally costs 1 dollar a day, which is really stupid. You can’t clean anything with the “limited” version which restricts you to nothing, also Dear developers your app is petty and deserves a lower rating, your app is pointless.

CleanerGuru cost $7 a week to use. That’s $365 a year.
$28 a month which is double Netflix. Don’t waste you time downloading this and just clean your phone yourself.

Destroy my contacts list and affecting the entire iOS performance. This is a dangerous app with bugs.

You didn’t say it cost money

Horrible app

CleanerGuru works as advertised. I highly recommend it if you are interested in eliminating excess data that you don’t need bogging down your system.

Do not use CleanerGuru, especially for cleaning up contacts! It made an utter mess of my contacts. It merged contacts that had different contact names but similar email addresses. It deleted contacts that had same last name but different first name and different phones.

What you would expect to be the most basic of merging features it just failed and now I am painfully working to undo the mess.

Easy to use and was able to clear up my storage within my seven day free trial, and I can cancel at any time and renew it at any time

And from then on nothing but crashes. I need mu $$ back.
I just wanted to consolidate some duplicate contacts and clean up my address book. That’s what I promise to do and so far every time I try to utilize a feature it crashes right away.
I don’t recommend.

So glad to get rid of so much clutter easy to use thanks for your help blessings👑

It has setting to clean up duplicated contacts. When I did that, it merged 10 different people into one name. And it only says the numbers not the names. So I have to find out who each number is and create a new one for each. So far, I’ve found three different cases of this so I’m tracking down 30 names.

If I hadn’t gone through and double checked I would have lost photos in the similar photo cleanup that were both not similar and the only photo I had of these moments period.

When app scans for duplicate pictures it does a terrible job, it shows pictures that it thinks are duplicate that are not , CleanerGuru doesn’t do have of what it shows it supposed in the advertising of it in CleanerGuru Store ,, very basic and expensive for what little it does ,, BE CAREFUL BECAUSE IT Will SELECT PICTURES THAT IT THINKS ARE DUPLICATES AND THEY ARE NOT ,,

CleanerGuru is garbage! I tried to clean up the storage and it barely does that well. As soon as I went to cancel the button turns grey and won’t allow me to cancel. DO NOT BUY CleanerGuru. I will change this review only once CleanerGuru cancels my trial with no charges to my account. Otherwise I’m reporting to Apple. This is terrible business practice

Only analyzes you photos and videos on a device. Never touches any downloads or iPhone cache where the most space use gets clogged on iOS.

I like CleanerGuru a lot but not enough to pay that much to keep it for more than a week.

When i was installing CleanerGuru it had said it would totally free. I tried to delete some pictures and it said i had to pay, it couldn’t find the right duplicates and i have a lot. I don’t know why someone would pay to clear out their camera roll.

In my opinion CleanerGuru is terrible. You have to pay for everything. CleanerGuru says to dete similar photos, and just click a button. However when you click the button a payment pops up. I do to recommend CleanerGuru and I give it a 0/10

Don't get this, I downloaded, wasn't what I wanted. I did the free trial with paid subscription after. I am still in my trial period as I downloaded today. But I can't cancel it, it won't allow me to. No way to contact App maker to cancel and Apple not much help either. Run away from this!

I thought I had more to clean up but not so much. I wanted to clean up my phone and CleanerGuru did.

It shows me photos and works amazing up until then. Because after that it all goes down hill in order to DELETE A PHOTO a singular photo you need a subscription?!?! Tell me why all cleaner apps have to do this!!

CleanerGuru still has you pick out the photos that are duplicates. It only does similar photos. It doesn’t pick out exact photos. You never get to select all of the duplicate photos on your phone to delete them and it doesn’t seem to save you much time or space at all.

Great app for someone like me that’s over 7000 pictures on my phone still. The only problem I have is my nighttime pictures at night of the sky. I need to keep all of them and there’s stuff inside each one and I have to investigate but other than that it’s great.

I have A LOT of photos, hence why a clean up app was very attractive to me. Unfortunately I was only able to have success with the contact cleanup and even that had limitations. I tried cleaning up my photos (even used the date range setting to reduce the number of photos it was a analyzing), and CleanerGuru crashed every time. Requiring me to analyze the photos all over again. 3 strikes you’re out!

CleanerGuru completely made a mess of my contacts!! It merged things together that should have never have been merged, completely deleted so many others that were not duplicates. I’m stuck with a huge mess and. I lost long time contacts that I’ll never be able to recover. So disappointed. If there is a way for this company to restore my contacts to before I used their horrible app, I’d be MOST appreciative!!

It has saved me so much time and it’s so easy to use it’s just been an amazing experience.

It is so easy. You can choose which pic you wish to keep or delete.

CleanerGuru selected photos as duplicates that weren't duplicates. If I didn’t check, I would have deleted sooooo many photos that were not duplicates and I didn’t want to delete. When I tried to go threw the photos CleanerGuru said were duplicates but weren’t, I have to uncheck the ones that are not duplicates and that was almost every single photo! CleanerGuru thought photos that were taken at the same time of day were duplicates, but most of then weren’t.
I tried to give it a chance after that annoyance but in the process of unchecking hundreds of photos, CleanerGuru crashes and I have to start all over. Extremely Inconvenient. So I deleted CleanerGuru . It’ll be faster for me to go threw the photos myself. CleanerGuru didn’t help me clean out my phone at all. Plus i believe it only connects to the phone storage, it would be really great if it also connected to iCloud storage. CleanerGuru only cleans out your phone storage, not your iCloud storage. (If it works at all) I’m glad I canceled before the free trial was up.

CleanerGuru is amazing for compiling things and making your job easier. You can just get scroll through to see what is there but one click allows you to make space and release passed memories that you don’t need. Extra stuff that is tedious to find and get rid of is taken care off because of CleanerGuru. Check it out.

So far the temperature has work exactly as advertised I would venture to say even better. I’m always reluctant to delete similar photos or other things, but it is amazing at how much faster my phone works in general and how crazy I have been for living without something like this for as long as I have.

So far so good keep up the good work

I just downloaded CleanerGuru and tried a few things - merge contacts, select and delete duplicate photos and delete unwanted videos. Unfortunately each process caused CleanerGuru to crash at least once. Plus I noticed my phone was getting really hot. The photo selection process was interesting but like another user said, it doesn’t do the best job selecting which photo is best or an actual duplicate. I like the idea but seems to be a work in progress. And quite pricey at $7/week.

I could choose some certain videos to delete but when I went to my photos and got done picking what I wanted deleted wich I had spent like ten mins getting ready to clear like half my photos just for it to say that I can’t delete them unless I pay…😒🙄
Kind of disappointed. For anyone who is willing to pay money to clear their storage it would probably be a perfectly fine app and a good source to use. I personally think this is not what it was made out to be. Couldn’t even delete my duplicates of certain photos…

CleanerGuru was working until day 6 when my iphone started having problems…(even after powering off and on)…like glitching, only some of my apps showing up, continuous thinking/waiting on other apps to open, then the last straw when it kept my pictures from sending by text and blocking out contacts. After I deleted CleanerGuru , my phone worked perfectly fine, again. Thanks, but no thanks. I’ll just delete my own videos and pics.

I have 4000 plus photos to sort through. I don’t have 4 hours to sit and go through them all to decide which to keep and which to delete. I need it to sort 100 photos at a time. I finally went through just a section like screen shots and get to the end, thinking all the photos I selected were to delete and instead I selected all the ones to keep. I said forget it! I’m deleting CleanerGuru . It’s not helpful.

Theres is absolutely no option to cancel the subscription and its charging me I even forgot had this thing til I seen charge on a brand new card I just activated TODAY. Literally today unbelievably annoying and dissatisfying/disappointing and want my refund back and cancel my subscription since you don't give us an option to do it ourselves on CleanerGuru thank you

Dreaded the fact of having to go through 10,000 photos! CleanerGuru made the process simple in 10 min tops. Also able to manage any look alike and Duplicates to get rid of any extras.
Thank you!

My phone had no storage so I couldn’t even store any files and with CleanerGuru my phone was cleared in less then 2 minutes. Thanks finally something that’s useful.

It would’ve taken Forever to find all the duplicates and unnecessary videos and contacts. Thank you for finding and helping me to consolidate it all

The concept of CleanerGuru is awesome and I love how it lets you delete duplicates without reviewing each and every one. But it crashes constantly, buttons aren’t responsive like it’s just got data overload. At least there was a free trial and I didn’t have to pay.

CleanerGuru is great really help me to free up not only my storage, but also my contacts and other things as well. It was quick and easy to use.

Although I don’t like the similar photo deletion option for regular photos, the option to delete screenshots and similar Live Photos is awesome!

It’s a scam do t download! I’ve been paying for it for weeks. But it would freeze and crash. The I updated it - still crashes even if I want to merge 3 contacts!! Not even delete videos or any other heavy media. Then o cancelled the subscription off course. Now I see a developer only told me to update CleanerGuru which I did, I tested it out - still crashes but now they are asking for more money. I asked for a refund needless to say they ignored it. Scam

Ridiculous that is $6.99 per WEEK. If it worked correctly, then maybe it was worth a one time fee of $6.99 but I have tried for two weeks to get the duplicate photos to delete and it freezes up every time so then I wait and go back and it does it again. So I have paid for weeks and it doesn’t ever get to the point to delete the actual photos. Waste of money and time

Every time my phone is it bad percent I put it on the charger. CleanerGuru is connected to my charger so every time I put the charger well I’m trying to play it just takes me to CleanerGuru and it really misses up my game play like I was playing Roblox and I was trying to charge it because my phone was at bad percent and then it takes me to CleanerGuru which causes the game I’m playing to take me to the home screen where I was going to play like I was trying to talk to someone when my phone was a at bad percent and it took me off and took me to this unwanted app now I’m never gonna meet a person again, unless I’m lucky Thanks to whoever made CleanerGuru I am uninstalling CleanerGuru and never installing it back

You get to pick and choose and make sure your favorite pics are the ones that are kept, they identify blurry photos and videos and help u decide if you want to keep doubles, it’s very very handy! I’ve already cleared up 5Gbs and I’ve only been using it for maybe an hour and that’s with going through every single photo/ video!! Def worth the trial at least!!

Don’t pay for storage use CleanerGuru to clean up your phone! It helps you not have repeat videos, photos, and points out where your storage is going! Highly recommend! It’s like spring cleaning for your phone!

I needed to clean up my phone for a long time now and CleanerGuru helped me do just that. I am a digital creator so I have so many un needed files from last projects and screen shots so this helped immensely!

I’ve put off cleaning files in my phone forever due to how time consuming it is. CleanerGuru saved me invaluable time and helped me get through task otherwise torturous. So glad i came across it.

This works great. Easy to pick up and the few options are easy to choose… no searching around to find functions. It defaults largest videos and images to top of list allowing for the quickest space saving impact. I have tried a couple others that were not this well thought out and would recomend this. Compression options are really good and really fast!

A couple tips -
- When comparing like images, begin by deselecting all and delete the ones you want to delete without having to go through them all.
-photo compare crops to thumbnail, but you can open image right there to see it all without having to re-sort or anything.

Recommended improvements for developer -
-option to clip/shorten videos
- default compared images to deselected
- transfer original photo date/time to new compressed copy
- contact merge should allow selection of name to merge to
-contact merge should allow drill down to select phone email as option to merge (or delete unneeded).

I am 84 years old, but pretty computer literate,
& had no problem using this program. I found
it easy to understand and very responsive.
Thanks for making this program easy enough
for Seniors too!

I didn’t have to go through all that trouble of looking through photos or trying to figure out what is taking up the most storage space on my phone! It did it for me! Awesome

It was told CleanerGuru would get rid of duplicate it did not work for me. I still have duplicate emails in Contacts pictures as well. What happened and how can I cancel? This subscription is not working at all well I’m trying overtime time and time again.

Really cool cleaned everything out very fast. Sure what it’s been deleted it and showed everything how many times has been difficult it so it’s definitely effective. Does it really quick compared to doing it Singletary oh multiply but I’m happy with it. I hope it continues working great.

Kept getting needs to update cloud
Storage. Installed CleanerGuru and solved 50% of my need! Now using it regularly to keep saving “upgrade need.” My contacts are merged, duplicate photos are deleted and large videos I didn’t even remember taking are deleted. Excellent app.

I thought CleanerGuru was going to be great but it’s not. The analyzer isn’t very strong because it didn’t identify many duplicate videos, and it did a poor job selecting the best photo when comparing similar photos to delete. Often times it identifyied the “best” photo as the one with the subjects eyes clothes. I don’t know how it made that determination. I gave it 3 stars because I liked that I could compress a video to save space instead of deleting it.

I usually don’t write reviews but I have to express how easy CleanerGuru is to use and how fast I was able to get my phone cleaned up and working properly. My phone was so maxed out that I couldn’t even get anymore emails but it’s all good now. Thanks GURU

I tried your app. It merged a few contacts that’s about it. As for my pictures it wanted to delete a lot of them just delete and everything’s good,,,not, also the same with my videos app wanted to delete the large videos I’ve taken but not the other downloaded movies I can do without. All CleanerGuru is really for is absolutely nothing it isn’t worth no kinda money at all. I don’t get it who would at $25 a month for this crap in my case it would’ve been $30.. also I’m writing this review for 2 reasons first I had a week trial period I canceled the trial period and I was charged $6.99 for premium but wait there’s 2 kinds of premium a $4.99 and a $6.99 so they nail you with a extra $2.00 charge for a 1 week premium app that isn’t worth 2 cents or downloading for that matter. I give it 0 stars due to CleanerGuru wants to just delete anything it thinks the amount of personal information and other sneaky things they don’t need to have. There are free apps that are so much better than this spying, snooping and having data they shouldn’t have and they know it too. And developers owners don’t comment and say sorry about your experience blaa blaa blaa we will use this info to make app bettter,, I unsubscribed and deleted ap through apple like it said to and they charged me the 2 tier premium… sneaky app that gets that extra $$ from how many people a day its 0 stars for a app that’s worth 0.00

I don't like some one to assume I want any part of this company the only thing I want from you is the SIX DOLLARS YOU TOOK FROM MY ACCOUNT!! If you check you will notice that I stop as soon as you people ask for money I feel I need to check and see if your for real or not there is to many of these kind of company coming right now so soon as you ask for money I STOP what ever I was doing.

Ms. Shired

I couldn't find anywhere else give this to you..

I have to say I’m very impressed with this application. It’s well worth a download to try. It does require some of your time to look over what it’s recommending to keyboard delete, but it intuitively groups photos together, and recommend the best photo. You can of course change this I am noticing sometimes it recommends a washed out image rather than the edited version that I took time to edit and enhance, so there is probably some tweaking that can be done to the algorithm. but mostly it works very well.

Fantastic app that helped me intelligently merge duplicate photos and made me realize I needed to save all my videos on a drive vs taking 100gb on my phone.

Definitely recommend for parents that take too many pics of their kids!

So, I gave this free storage cleaner app a shot, thinking it could tidy up my phone without breaking the bank. First off, the download was smooth, no upfront charges – great, right? Well, not really. Once I started using it, CleanerGuru bombarded me with prompts to buy upgrades. Like, come on, I thought it was supposed to be free? It felt a bit like a trick. And the worst part? It didn't even do a fantastic job. I expected my phone to feel lighter, but the storage savings were meh, and the whole cleanup process was slower than watching paint dry. Honestly, it left me feeling a bit misled. If an app claims to be free, it should actually deliver some decent results without constantly asking for my wallet. Lesson learned: always read the fine print before getting excited about a supposedly free app.

Love CleanerGuru. Very easy to use it picks the best photos and shows all duplicates you have that you don’t need and makes it’s easy to delete to create space. My storage space is always low because I love to take photos and videos of my children but often times it’s a big hassle to have to go through everyone of them just to find duplicates and videos you don’t need thanks to cleaner guru i no longer have that problem this all is so well worth it

Cleaning my phone out has been by far the greatest as you guys know we’re always snapping pictures more than we need or than usual pictures of the same things because we are so obsessed or excited . My time is very much valuable and CleanerGuru helping restore storage instead of buying is an all time help to me !

There were so many photos and videos on my phone that were junk. CleanerGuru quickly and easily help group them together making it easier to decide what to keep and what to get rid of without having to slowly look through them all.
Impressed and grateful.

Gotta admit, CleanerGuru is pretty amazing! Less than two minutes I’ve already deleted over 10 GB of wasted storage in my Photos app. Love the simplicity and easiness of CleanerGuru definitely would recommend it to everyone I know who has little storage left on their phone.

I have 40,000 pics and was hoping this would offer a quick way to clean up duplicate pics, etc. it does pick them out but still is a manual process to determine which ones to delete. Other than pics I didn’t find much use with this - duplicate phone numbers but that honestly doesn’t impact me but i did clean those up. My biggest complaint is I was charged twice and when it renewed it charged me twice again. $6.99 twice each time so I cxl’d and can’t get my money back.

I’ve been looking for an app like this for a while now. Quite impressed thus far. I signed up for the free trial and don’t plan on paying $7 weekly. I have over 50,000 photos and most are redundant, and I don’t have the time to scroll through and manually delete them. CleanerGuru is easy to use and deleted thousands of photos (duplicates, blurry photos, large videos) in just a couple of minutes. There are also a couple of other features that CleanerGuru has, but again, don’t want to pay weekly for it. Giving 4 stars just because of the price. I’m happy that I did the free trial!!!

I used this to eliminate duplicates in my contacts and photos as I had many phone lists added over the years. The problem I had, was if I had 2 people with the same last name - it put them together. This has been a bit of a nightmare for me as I’m texting the wrong people. CleanerGuru should be able to identify the first names and notice the numbers are different and should not be merged.

I used CleanerGuru and in the beginning it seemed like a great app. Then when I used the merge contact feat and tried to clean up my contacts. It messed up not only my phone but any other contact transfers to any new phones any time I tried to do a data transfer the problem when along to the next phone. I bought a brand new iPhone 15th to fix the issue of having to wait for my contacts to load sometimes 2 min or so and because of CleanerGuru that didn’t work. Now no matter what I do I when a slow phone. Also when I try and do group text that is all messed up. All this never happened till I used this Cleaner Guru app. Now let’s talk money. I got an app for free and without my knowledge or permission CleanerGuru has been charging me $6.99 for 13 different months sometimes twice a month. Needless to say I’m disgusted with CleanerGuru service and product and I don’t recommend it to anyone else. I tried to request a refund and no one responded to me. So now I have to take my time out of my day to file claims and go through an exhausting process just to get my money back.

Not quite sure if I’m going to jump for joy or jump into my grave yet! I think I did the right thing but letting CleanerGuru clean up my silly, stupid screenshots that I definitely, positively did NOT need most of if not ALL of those screenshots and CleanerGuru just got rid of them all in a snap! I would’ve toiled over those for an hour or 3 wondering and wondering why I saved it and telling myself it was for a good reason and by golly I might need that some day then I’d still have no room on my phone for REAL, nice, worthwhile photos.

CleanerGuru is a great way to prepare for a new year and be ready for social media print offers . Looking thru photos and videos and finding duplicates and items like quick photo shots that take up memory, can seem an overwhelming task . Especially if you are paying for extra cloud space for duplicates and videos you can easily compress . CleanerGuru saves hours of your life and dollars .
The free trial is worth your time !

After supposedly merging duplicates, I started getting calls from people such as my neighbor but with my female clients name. Or I went to call my mother she was no longer in my favorites and she was merged with hundreds of random emails super buggy. Disconcerting and possibly major problems to come as a result of having use this what I wanna know from the makers how to reverse it when it’s done and there’s no easy access customer service, so I’m leaving this review to warn others and hopefully the Makers will contact me.

CleanerGuru is completely ineffective! I tried it, it fixed the issue for about 15 minutes & then the storage issue went immediately back to were it was before I had used CleanerGuru. The comdensing video option where it claims to be “working magic”, & you’re instructed not to close CleanerGuru had been “working it’s magic (unsuccessfully of course)” for 45 minutes on ONE video before i fonally gave up on it ever completing this simple task & closed CleanerGuru . This product has a lot of great claims & would be amazing if ANY of the features actually worked as promised & advertised!! But they don’t, hence rendering it completely useless & utter garbage! I do NOT recommend wasting your time or money purchasing CleanerGuru, its all lies.

As a consumer who values efficiency and reliability, I was thoroughly disappointed by my experience with Cleaner Guru. From the moment I downloaded CleanerGuru , it failed to live up to its promises.

Firstly, the user interface is clunky and unintuitive. Navigating through CleanerGuru felt like a chore, with poorly labeled buttons and confusing menus.

Secondly, the supposed cleaning features of Cleaner Guru were ineffective at best. After running multiple scans, it barely identified any unnecessary files or junk on my device. It seemed more like a placebo effect than an actual optimization tool.

Moreover, CleanerGuru bombards users with intrusive ads at every turn. Pop-ups constantly disrupt the user experience, making it nearly impossible to accomplish anything without being interrupted.

Lastly, the customer support was non-existent. I attempted to reach out for assistance with my issues, but received no response whatsoever.

Overall, Cleaner Guru is a complete waste of time and storage space. I would strongly advise against downloading it and instead look for a more reputable and reliable cleaning app.

I can tell you this, I’m thankful to come across CleanerGuru because it’s 10x more simple & easier … more importantly it’s faster then the iPhone system.

If you don’t want to be that person selecting & waiting for the phone to take it times deleting photos & videos because you selected 1,000 files then this’d CleanerGuru for you

When i first downloaded CleanerGuru, everything seemed normal and then the part where you clean out your storage is that part i love because i have almost 11,000 photos, and lots of stuff that i don't need. In my opinion this is a pretty average app for people with their app storage almost full. Hope more people like CleanerGuru and download it. Help me with storage issues.
