Prompts to get rid of bad storage, does a good job directing you to old things you don't want. it would be nice if there was a way during the 'cleanup storage' prompt for you to view the media it prompts to delete. some of the videos/images I knew were old and not needed, but I wish I could've looked at or watched others. If the functionality is there, it's not very intuitive.

I've had no difficulties using this app so far, infact it has simplified storage management to the extent it's nearly brainless and perfect for me who tends to just let things lie til the phones barely operable due to the storage being fully utilized. Of course take it with a grain of salt and continue to form your own opinion since I've only been using the app for a few weeks now. Will update if any discrepancies suddenly come about but so far so good !

It's the safest quickest and easiest way to get rid of junk residue that might be lingering around from something. Once however, the little quick cleanup tactic that is used for removing those junk files all of the sudden stopped working. It just didn't clean anything out anymore. The option to use it was there but it just didn't do anything. After a couple of weeks, however, it's miraculously seem to heal itself and resumed doing its job! Thanks.
