So convenient!
Mac User
I've noticed that now I can separately remove screenshots in Duplicates Finder section. Great option, I had tones of them. Moreover, I like that MacKeeper has option of Daily scan, it automatically scans my Mac every 24 hours as I set it up. My status is always Protected since then. MacKeeper representative in chat explained me how to apply these settings. It is very convenient that there is always someone who can help you with different software-related questions.

Pretty nice app
Mac User
I have been using Mackeeper for not so long, but I am quite happy with the result. I found a very good duplicates finder. It helped me find files on my Mac that I downloaded more than once by mistake. It saved me some time and optimized the memory a bit. I like this feature because I have a lot of copies in my work that can just waste space when I no longer need them. One of the drawbacks as for me is the price. It seems to me that the price for all instruments is a little high if we compare it to other similar programs.

My rescuers!
Mac User
I am 78 years old, and I would be lost without their help. MacKeeper support is available 24/7 with patient expert assistance. Thank you all very much for cleaning my Mac and keeping it safe. Wonderful software and perfect customer support. I'm so happy my son has installed me it three years ago.

Outstanding app!
Mac User
This app is outstanding! It removes all the garbage, malware, adware and speeds up my Mac within minutes. It keeps my desktop functioning as well as could be expected for its age and frequency of use. There was no question whether or not to renew my subscription. I continued my subscription without doubt. I highly recommend this program, especially in case you try to squeeze as much performance out of the old Mac.

Satisfied!
Mac User
I like that with the free version I could access features and test it. Only after that, I signed up. I regularly free up RAM, it positively influences the performance. Besides, it constantly protects my mac from viruses. So, I'm satisfied!

good changes
Mac User
I've been using mackeeper for a long time and have noticed that the program has improved its performance. I'm glad they fixed the issues with their realtime protection, I was very worried that I had to install it again and again after every update. Also, the performance of the computer has improved significantly, it began to work much faster. I am not worried about what I download from the internet, as the program catches all malicious programs at once. Thanks to the developers.

Mac is running properly now
Mac User
I like photo removal functionality. I have cleaned all unnecessary stuff and now I have much more free space. Also, I had problems saving items on my desktop. The problem was fixed efficiently. Representatives were very patient and were able to help me.

Best antivirus ever
Mac User
For me, Mackeeper is one of the best antivirus programs out there. I've had a Mac for about 5 years and it works great with it I haven't had any serious viruses for a long time, if I notice any problems, the program immediately fixes them. Plus, the app encrypts my data, giving me unlimited secure connections on my Mac.

Really professional
Mac User
Three problems arose last week which prevented me from using my computer efficiently. I asked for help and received response. The technician understood the issues immediately, their patience was limitless and their knowledge was professional. Three technicians became involved in the process of finding solutions. The outcome is excellent - the problems were resolved. I'm most grateful.

Smart Uninstaller has solved my issue
Mac User
I could not delete a malfunctioning Photos app on my MacBook Pro and tried everything that I googled. I finally remembered that I had MacKeeper and opened that up. Did a clean but that did not get rid of the bad app. Chatted with a technician through the app who suggested the "Smart Uninstaller" - which I hadn't tried and it worked! Thank you MacKeeper!
