I've used the free version of this cleaner for years (I also have the paid version of the antivirus). It's loaded on several of our phones and has performed wonderfully. It seems to be selective on which phones it will clean the hidden cache and browser history. I recently upgraded to a new phone and it will not clean those 2 items unless I purchase the cleaner. Seems like they are always looking to bleed more fees despite the constant barrage of ads. I will be looking for a different cleaner.

Hi, maintaining a unique feature like deleting hidden cache is a demanding long-term matter that creates costs for us, as we need to deal with different brands and versions of operating systems constantly. This feature became premium to receive proper care. Thanks for understanding. Hector*Avast

If you like ads you're gonna LOVE Avast Cleanup! You get to watch at least three ads every time you use it. Best of all, some of them are 60+ seconds long with no ability to skip. Isn't that great?!! Avast thinks so, as they stuff their pockets at your expense and teeth-gnashing irritation. Sorry, not sorry, Avast greed-heads. There are too many alternatives out there to waste time with your ads and mandatory updates.

Hi, unless you are using the "paid for free" version (where you can use some Premium stuff in exchange for watching full ads), all ads should be skippable after the first 5 seconds. If you like the app itself, please consider upgrading - there are no ads in the Premium version. Hector*Avast

This app used to work great. I didn't mind watching ads because even the free version did a great job of cleaning the hidden caches on my phone. In the last few weeks however, it will scan the phone for junk, tell you that there is for example 700mb that can be cleaned, watch an ad and it only cleans 10mb. That never used to happen before. It does this on all devices it's installed on. Used to be five stars...would be zero now if it was an option.

Hi, there has been a bug within the "paid for free" version you seem to be using (where you can use some Premium stuff in exchange for watching full ads). The team seems not to have figured it out yet. If you like the app itself, please consider upgrading - there are no ads in the Premium version. Hector*Avast
