LIARS AND THIEVES
Mac User
I saw this promo for the app.. In short Mackeeper uses bait and switch tactics. Mackeeper makes it a point to look like a free app and hides that it cost money UNTIL AFTER YOU WASTE 20 MINUTES DOWNLOADING AND RUNNING IT then and only then after the app freezes you have to leave the page and find out they want money. It's a subcription service but they don't make it clear whether or not you can pay by the month or have to pay up front for a year. I was told both answers and by then I just gave up. Mackeeper by you trying to be cute by hiding costs encourages distrust right off the bat and you make it point not to care at all. YOU NEED to have us trust you but I think you don't have an idea what that is.

Hi Joe! We don't hide our prices, we have a pricing page on the top of our site. Why have you decided it's free?
We also clarify all the types of subscriptions on the pricing page. We have a 1-month plan as well as a 1-year plan...Show More

Great app!
Mac User
This is my lifesavior! I faced with the unremovable Bing at the home page and MacKeeper agent in chat helped me to fix it. He was very patient and knowledgable. I will definitely continue my subscription.

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.

Trini, on big holidays we have discounts so you can buy MacKeeper Premium Services for a nice price.

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.

Super app!
Mac User
It covers all my needs. To be honest - I tried MacKeeper few years ago and wasn't so exited. After this review I decided to give it a second chance and I'm surprised how everything has been changed. Everything works as good as possible, I'm happy with MacKeeper. Now I can recommend it to everyone.

I like that MacKeeper has a lot of features so I don't need to buy them separately. My Mac performance improved and I'm super satisfied
