![]() Since Setapp is all about making good Mac software conveniently available to you, I’m going to list all its features by putting them into the following six sections. Read on for the detailed Setapp review about everything I liked and disliked about this app suite. The content in the summary box above will give you a good idea of my findings and conclusions. I contacted the MacPaw support team about an issue I encountered and heard back from them quite promptly. ![]() I spent a lot of time exploring what is available from Setapp, and I installed a handful of its apps, which I have been using in my day-to-day life as much as possible. So I downloaded the software and thoroughly tested the one-month trial version. And I’ve been purchasing apps in the Mac and iOS App Stores from Day 1, and have even got on board with a few apps that have gone down the subscription route.Ī comprehensive subscription service like Setapp is new to me. I got my head around Linux software repositories from a variety of distros. Where did I find it all? Everywhere! I used Windows freeware and shareware, and commercial packages. Throughout those years I’ve discovered some amazing apps that I absolutely love and more than a few that I hate with a passion. I love exploring new and unusual software, and I’ve been using computers since 1988, and Macs full time since 2009. The Apps You Need Tomorrow Are Available When You Need Them I’d prefer a few more ways to contact support. What I Don’t Like: The selection of apps could be broader (though it’s growing). The price is reasonable, and the subscription is easy to cancel. Many quality apps are available, including some of my favorites. What I Like: Apps are well-categorized and easy to find. But even then, the productivity and maintenance tools in the suite may be worth the cost of the subscription anyway. If you need Photoshop or Excel, you’ll need a subscription with Adobe or Microsoft. However, if your software needs are very specific, you may not find what you’re looking for here. At $9.99 a month (yearly subscription), that’s quite reasonable. ![]() The team has put some thought into the apps they offer, giving you a smaller collection of quality apps to choose from. The choice of software is quite broad, so it may be the only subscription service you need. Every program is available for use as long as you are paid up. If you have trust issues with MacPaw, at least elaborate.Setapp is a subscription-based software library for your Mac. You are entitled to an opinion, but if you meant to say “overpriced”, add/edit a comment. Rethink your post warning about the developer. Often confused with other applications (MacCleaner). What about forum posts? No evidence, no sources, nothing. Would I recommend purchasing it? No, I would point to Onxy or share some terminal commands. Most of this can be accomplished without it. And I sometimes run the maintenance feature. I like the uninstaller to get rid of unused stuff. I like the Updater to update non-store stuff (or at lease see which ones have an update). What do I use it for? Reclaim some free disk space. Would I buy it, if not included? No, there are free tools (Onyx) out there. I have CleanMyMac X as part of my SetApp subscription, so it doesn’t add any cost. So you stated, the developer is not to be trusted. You wrote “I surely wouldn’t trust anything that is associated with CleanMyMac.”. I’m saying that its generally overpriced for what it is… One hates CleanMyMac and the other seems to love it. There must be some sort of divide between Mac Power Users and MacRumors. ![]() Check your cache folder and delete large files if your computer ever feels slow. What sort of scenario would you find yourself in that a Mac system needs “maintenance” that cannot be solved with the tools MacOS comes with, or is available for free with something like Onyx? In regards to virus protection, Malwarebytes is completely free and is much more reputable. $30/yr or $90/life for some software which helps you find large files and a (poor) ad blocker? And, let’s go back for a moment - you say an adblocker is more likely to “give you a virus” than CleanMyMac… which itself contains an adblocker? Which is it? If you need to free up space on your drive something like DaisyDisk will help you decide what to get rid of, is by a reputable author, and costs a third of the price of CMM’s yearly subscription for a lifetime licence. Macs do not “fill up with junk” and have no “registry” that needs to be maintained like a Windows system. I’m saying that its generally overpriced for what it is.Īt best, CleanMyMac is snake oil you do not need. ![]()
