Is CleanMyMac X safe?

Is CleanMyMac X safe? It's on the App Store. I've been hearing a lot of bad things about it lately. Can you please explain why it is bad? I don't know why people have been saying bad things about it.

Never install any app that claims to "tune up", "speed up" or "clean up" your Mac. These apps exist for one reason: to separate the unwary and inexperienced user from their hard-earned money. At best they do very little, at worst, they can damage your OS installation and cause far more problems than they "solve".


Your Mac doesn't get "dirty" and doesn't need cleaning.

Do you really think a small shareware shop somewhere is better than Apple at fine tuning the OS?
