Is AppZapper a scam ?

I've used the program for a couple of years and it does do what it says by finding and cleaning files in your system that get left behind when you throw away an application. These are usually .plist's or other config files. I don't use it anymore as it didn't seem to work well with Leopard.

I can't speak of their lack of tech support or to a delay with the serial number. If you read the comments at VersionTracker - http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/28764 - You will see that the program is a mixed bag, with several people talking about good replacements and the lack of meaningful support from the program's author.

For the last year I've been using CleanAp - http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/29702 - and it's been working well for me.

If you have spam filtering in place make sure it's not dumping emails from this source.

Well none of the reviews on VersionTracker or Macupdate mention anything about a slow response on sending registration codes. Many do, however, mention that it hasn’t been updated for two years or thereabouts. That may have something to do with the delay. Contact your Credit Card company and get them to reverse the payment.

This is a shock to hear about problems with AppZapper. I have used it since December 27 2007 on my PowerMac G5, iMac and MacBook. The registration Code arrived o.k. It definitely works with all versions of Leopard.

Why do you not like this "method?"
If the only place an app resides is where you see it, then dragging it to the trash removes it.
The only exception is for apps that require a password to install. The are NOT to be dragged into the trash. If they are properly written they will always include a removal/uninstall script or app.
I have never used nor needed anything like app remover. I actually like the way I can simply trash most apps to remove them.

The rest of you post has nothing to do with Leopard and should be directed elsewhere, such as the company that makes the program.

Greetings,

I've been a licensed AppZapper user since they first put the product out. It works well, and will delete the files that need to be deleted. What remains, if any, are very small, and totally innocuous.

There may be a reference to an app that was deleted, but that is about all. If the program you want to delete doesn't have an uninstaller, and most do, you can either use AppZapper, or remove the files manually. The price is very nominal.

If you haven't got your key, then contact them, or look in your spam/junk folders.

Cheers,
M.
