REVIEWS

MacCleaner Pro 2’s Funter module, which allows quick access to

hidden files within the macOS.

which folders

are targeted

for clean-up.

While the

module was

able to get the

vast majority

of the files,

it didn’t have

system-wide

permissions

to remove

five small

files, which

presented

a small hiccup that needed to be

worked around.

The Funter module allows macOS

to show and work with hidden files

without having to unlock these via

Terminal commands, which is useful

in instances where you need to

work with or remove these files. The

module’s name may be unusual, but

the module itself comes in handy.

Finally, the Memory Cleaner

module allows you to quickly free up

RAM on the fly, as well as monitors

which applications are chewing up

this resource.

VERDICT

MacCleaner Pro 2 comes as an

unexpected surprise in a crowded

field of utilities, complete with speedy

replies to email requests, a good

interface, and smooth operation. It

may not be the flashiest thing out

there, but it offers a good interface,

good set of utilities, and is worth your

consideration. Chris Barylick
