Does Avast Cleanup – Phone Cleaner actually clear cache and junk files?
Reviews are mixed. Many users say Avast Cleanup – Phone Cleaner is easy, thorough, and useful for removing junk files, but others say cache cleaning no longer works as expected, requires manual steps, or does not clear every cache even for paid users.
I like how easy it it to use to do a thorough cleaning
The app used to automatically clean the cache on my phone when I press start. I could put my phone down and walk away as it did its thing. Now, I have to manually delete the cache as each app pops up, despite the fact that I'm subscribed to the premium plan. Not much point in using this app if it doesn't automatically clean the cache for me.
Not deleting all caches - and I paid for the app, so it should be working properly.

Why does Avast Cleanup – Phone Cleaner only do basic cleaning or ask for ads?
Several reviewers say deeper cleaning depends on watching an ad in the free experience, and that ad loading can fail. When that happens, users report being sent back to basic cleaning or getting stuck with ads that are hard to close. Some also say hidden-cache cleaning was moved away from the free version.
easy to navigate and the tools are good, but I'll rate it 3 cuz whenever I want a deep clean I need to watch an add which I don't mind, but when it says "cannot find add" or smth so I do regular cleaning then suddenly an add pops up after the clean, WHY? I genuinely don't know if its the app or it's my phone what's wrong.
can never find a video to do the clean, only ever does a basic clean.
Works great but considering you took away the "hidden caches" from the free version and made it a premium is ridiculous. Plus adds have increased in time length. I will be looking for an alternative. Unfortunately you will lose a long-term user. Now they are intentionally causing adds to not load so you dont get a free deep clean. When the add does load after a basic clean, it never gives you an exit option so you are forced to select add or close app without using a deep clean free.

Is Avast Cleanup – Phone Cleaner Premium worth paying for?
The reviews do not give a clear yes. Some paid or subscribed users were unhappy because automatic cache cleaning, subscription recognition, or upgrades did not work for them. Other users say they liked the service enough to keep using it for years or subscribed until they no longer needed it.
I've already subscribed but the app seems unable to acknowledge that. I did everything they said on their side multiple times but it still didn't work so I tried to contact them but after another frustrating process their site did not respond. After all that how could I trust them to protect my phone let alone share data with them.Bunch of amateurs, didn't even deserve 1 star, you got your money but couldn't give the service no matter how I followed up on it to get it right but you just not care
toooo expensive, too many separate charges!!
Well Avast. It's been a great run and an even better few years. I really enjoyed this app. I am very thankful it exists. I must cancel my subscription as I do not use the service enough anymore. This app was VERY helpful.

How much storage can Avast Cleanup – Phone Cleaner free up?
Some reviewers say Avast Cleanup – Phone Cleaner frees noticeable storage and makes cleaning wasted space easy. Others say the recovered space was less than expected or not enough to solve their storage problem, so results appear to vary by device and what is actually removable.
Avast Cleanup is so easy to use, and makes getting rid of junk files and wasted megabytes of storage very easy.
very thorough and it opens up a lot of extra space on your phone
said 6 gb and cleared 840 mb

Can Avast Cleanup – Phone Cleaner delete photos or files I meant to keep?
Yes, reviewers specifically warn that it can remove photos, and one positive review praises being able to delete gallery items instantly. That may be useful if you intend it, but prospective users should review selections carefully before confirming photo or gallery cleanup.
it removes photos too so be careful
Although painful to watch some thing disappear it helps take all data I dont need.
this app is AMAZING I've been using it for a few months now, and this is the best cleanup app I have ever seen out there! and the fact that you can press a button that can delete everything from your gallery INSTANTLY instead of having to delete everything one by one, 10/10, I highly recommend for anyone who don't have it yet

Is Avast Cleanup – Phone Cleaner easy to use?
Many favorable reviews call the app quick, easy, and efficient. But ease of use is not universal: some users say it is confusing, too fast for non-technical users, or cluttered by upgrade prompts and ads.

I found it very confusing to use not being a computer buff

Does Avast Cleanup – Phone Cleaner freeze, lag, or fail to clean?
Some reviewers report reliability problems, including freezing during junk-file scans, inability to clean, and lag around ads or automatic cleanup. Other users say it works fast and without problems, so the review evidence points to device- or session-specific failures rather than a single universal behavior.
It's freezing during scan for junk files process - somewhere between 75 - 78 percent. Thanks, but uninstalled.
can't use wont let me clean, willing to watch ad but won't load. Sad really liked it
Fast and working, everything that i need

Is Avast Cleanup – Phone Cleaner safe to use?
Reviews include both trust and safety praise and serious complaints. Long-time users say they trust Avast services, and some say the app works without missing files. However, other reviewers raise concerns about update prompts, a virus claim, unremoved sensitive cache data, and difficulty contacting support. The reviews do not prove malware, but they do show that trust concerns exist.
seems to work. never had an issue with missing files so it must be deleting unneeded files
WARNING this app keeps giving me a threat to update certain Google apps or something might happen, and wants to trick me to click on "update now" within this app when opening, and I got a virus that made my phone unfunctionable, also while having Avast security app all at the same time
APPLICATION DOES NOT HAVE PRIVILEGE TO CLEAN ANY DATA, DESPITE OF ACCESSIBILITY ENABLED. can not clear ANY cache. BANK CARD DATA STAY FOR EVER IN CACHE. !! Can not contact you over sugested link.

Does Avast Cleanup – Phone Cleaner drain battery or slow the phone down?
Most battery-related review text is not about measurement, but some users complain that Avast Cleanup – Phone Cleaner itself uses a lot of battery or lags during ad and cleanup flows. Other users say it helps the phone run smoothly or optimally.
This app is really good but it uses so much battery
the ad does not load and there is extreme lag in loading the ad not a paid subscriber please fix the issue need to clean the cache in mobile extreme lag in autoclean up as well please fix issue
Avast Cleaner thoroughly does it's job. It helps all to run smooth.

Are Avast Cleanup – Phone Cleaner ads intrusive?
Yes, ad complaints are a major theme in the recent reviews. Users object to the number of ads, long ad flows, ads that open Google Play, ads with hard-to-find exits, and situations where an ad appears after cleanup even when it failed to load for deep cleaning.
This app is supposed to clean junk, yet makes us watch junk just to do so. Why are there ads on a cleaner app? They're as bad as the ads in games, and often make you click them on accident as well. If you offer a free service, why do you torture us to try to get us to pay. Avast has gone downhill and I'm unimpressed and irritated.
love what it does, hate some of the ads. Specific ads don't let you watch and return without making you leave the app to load the game details in the store (Google play in my case). Quite frustrating as I'd rather go look at the game by choice, not as a requirement that forces me out of the app I'm in.
Total garbage, endless ads. don't use.
