I liked Data Encryptor feature
Mac User
My experience with MacKeeper has been tremendous. When I called and asked about a recent MacKeeper update, they explained the changes and assisted me in the installation. They could have very easily ended the call but they said they would guide me through the update process. However, I'm a little bit disappointed that there is no Data Encryptor feature in MacKeeper 4, I liked this feature so much in MacKeeper 3. I hope they will include this functionality in future releases.

Cool app
Mac User
Cool app has a lot of features. I don't use all of them, but I really love the VPN tool. I was a bit tired of their additional offers for other apps and services, but the app is nice. I now enjoy using my Mac, knowing that there are no viruses and malware on my computer.

Awesome service!
Mac User
I had attempted to Fix and Find and it kept stopping at 6%. I also followed support's recommendations by running Fast Cleanup and it also stopped after reaching a certain point. I left the Fix and Find and Fast Clean all night with the same result. This morning, I contacted online support to inform them of the results of following the recommendations and Simon asked if he could troubleshoot from my computer, I allowed Simon control and he found the issue right away. In a few minutes MacKeeper came alive and all scans were completed. I am very pleased with this App and the awesome service.

Satisfied with MacKeeper
Mac User
I found and removed malware with MacKeeper. That's sounds promising as I'm afraid of loosing my files. Mac started working a bit faster so looks like everything is ok for now.

Cool app
Windows User
Cool app, especially VPN feature. I checked it with the speed test and the result is good. I wish they have mobile app too.

ok
Mac User
Surprised with such a big amount of haters here. I purchased 1 year plan, here is my first impressions:
Cons
- what is most annoying - you can't hide chat bar, and customer support "very strive to help you" inside the app from the first launch.
- pricy subscriprion
- u can't disable mackeeper app from login items
- stopad extension not available for Firefox
I don't have any issues with annoying popups. In the latest macOS you can allow or disallow notifications for any installed app, so I disabled notifications in macOS for Mackeeper.
Pros
- I asked support in a chat which antivirus mackeeper used, here is the answer "MacKeeper uses Avira's Secure Anti-Virus API (SAVAPI), the official interface for Avira’s anti-malware scanning en...Show More

Now it works great
Mac User
Chatted with MacKeeper Tech Expert today. Yesterday I ran my "Find & Fix" scan yesterday with no problems. Today when I ran the scan it told me I needed to enable my Antivirus program. I couldn't get it enabled, so I contacted the Tech Expert. He gave me 3 steps to fix the problem, restarted my MAC and it works great now!

Great solution
Mac User
Great fast solution. I wish they will add a password manager.

I liked TrackMyMac feature
Mac User
I'm a bit disappointed they had removed TrackMyMac feature, but this app works as promised. I use it on a regular basis and love to see how the mail circle turns to green status. :-) If only it works the same easy with cleaning my flat! What I don't like is the price for Premium Services, it's expensive for me.

Good app
Mac User
Pretty good app. I requested help in chat and got it. I don't like their offers for extra services, but like the app.
