Keep charging me for canceled subscription

Canceled my subscription months ago but they keep debiting my account. No customer service or replies. Apple recommends against this product.

Product is average

Product is average. The hoops you have to jump through to cancel the subscription is ridiculous. You basically have to send a request to support.

Edit: asked by Trustpilot to provide additional information. I’m an IT professional with 30 years experience. To cancel the subscription is an experience of it’s own and clearly meant to discourage from unsubscribing.

Fallen off a cliff

Fallen off a cliff - completely broken. No longer works and was told to redownload the new version with my existing account and upgrade would be free. Does not let me on the site use my account and can't use old one. Scammers.

We’re sorry to hear about the frustration you’ve experienced, and we’d like to help clarify things and resolve the issue.

The upgrade to the latest version of CleanMyMac was offered for free to eligible users, and there are no additional charges if you have an active subscription. If you were unable to access your account or activate the app, something clearly went wrong, and we would like to investigate.

Please click "Provide more information" on Trustpilot and share the email address linked to your MacPaw account. Once we have it, we can look into the issue, confirm your eligibility, and help you get CleanMyMac running properly.

Horrible

Horrible. A nightmare to unsubscribe. Tried calling, just get recorded message, can’t get further. Online requests are linked to places with no response. In essence, once you sign on to MacPaw you’re signed up for life with a yearly bill. Avoid!!!!

I use a lot of plugins for my audio…

I use a lot of plugins for my audio processing, and depend on Clean My Mac to keep my new Macs running fast and lean. I got a discount on e-mail for a new subscription, but checked, and mine is good through October. Can you piggyback the discount to when mine runs out? Thanks!

I had a problem with my account

I had a problem with my account, owing to the fact that we have two Macs in the house, and now, briefly, three, while I migrate to a newer one. I thought I might have two different subscriptions running, but the staff at MacPaw checked out my status, gave me clear instructions as to how to resolve the issue, and it was solved within a very short time.

Customer Service don’t reply

I’ve used Clean my Mac for years and been very happy so I tried Gemini2. Was less happy with the latter and tried to cancel the subscription. Weeks and months have gone by and no one has replied to my emails or ticket raised through their contact form.

They have since charged me for another years subscription.

This is the most effective Mac software

This is the most effective piece of software on my MacBook. Upgraded this year, small issue but response from support was in nanoseconds and immediate fix.... It could not have happened quicker or more satisfactory had a support person being sitting next me. Awesome performance.
