I suggest finding other alternatives to mackeeper that doesnt spamvertise your mac after your subscription expires and gives your a headach just to unistall it. It also injects this malware called turbomac, it pops up on chrome and safari and can bypass adblockers. The turbomac problem was solved after i got rid of mackeeper on my mac. If you want to, you may go ahead and pay for the unnecessary features without ads, but overall i jest dont recommend it, seems untrustable.

Just uninstalled it
Mac User
The programme simply does not work anymore: my computer behaves strangely all the time needing restarts and and since many days and many attempts, the antivirus simply doesn't enable itself. When I try to reinstall, I get system messages that this programmes can't be installed because it needs updating by the developer. Isn't this all embarrassing for a "premium" product, which I paid on a yearly subscription basis. I try to get the remaining days reimbursed, since the product is simply faulty. And I refrained from using their support professional because last time this "apple certified support professional" most of all tried to bully me into buying an upgrade, and I got only rid of his insistence by going offline.
I have been relatively s...Show More

My computer won’t work
iOS User
I was told it was because of MacKeeper. Apple has it own security installed in the computer. MacKeeper confuses the software & causes my MAC not to work. Of course it was denied. I wasn’t given a refund one star cause I have to

Hi Erica! I want to investigate this issue. Usually, MacKeeper can't cause such behavior so it looks strange, I want to look deeply into this. Could you please send me the email you use as MacKeeper login to vicky@kromtech.com? I ...Show More

Don't Bother
Mac User
I signed up for mackeeper in June 2019 and it worked for about a month. Then, every time I'd log in it would alert me to items it found that needing cleaning. After month 1, it logged me out with no option to log back in. It would keep alerting me to problems it found, but would try to charge me for membership rather than let me log in with the one I was already paying for. When I contacted the company, they suggested I call their technicians to have them scan my computer and provide the diagnostics that the app is supposed to do. I told them I'd rather the app (that I'm paying for) do its job and they offered me no other option than calling and working with their technicians to scan the computer as the app is supposed to do. No thanks.

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!

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.

Not bad app
Mac User
Mackeeper is a great program that I have been using for a long time. I search the Internet for everything I need without any problems. There are no viruses, malware or data leaks. Although it was frustrating for me to deal with an ad request. This is what I don't like about this service. When I work, I don't have time to consider proposals. I would prefer to receive them by email when I can properly review them. Everything else is in order.
