AppZapper is for people who want to confidently try new apps while knowing they can uninstall them. That is not a good way to do business, and even if it were a solid app, it's hard to support these practices. The tagline say it all, The uninstaller Apple forgot. So people who just go to the website to buy pay $89 (or $69 when they get a deal of the day), but when they pay from the nag screen, they only pay $56. Even when trying to close the nag screen by pressing the little X in the corner, the X turns into "Don't leave yet, get your personal discount", which opens the website and gives you even more discount than their "Deal of the day" which is shown after you download the trial. I tried AppZapper on six applications and made sure they were of some variety. First Impressions AppZapper is shareware that is free for the first 5 zaps or uninstalls and 12.95 after that. This is clearly done to play on the insecurities of the less-than-tech-savvy users, who might believe that their machine is now in a worse state than before they ran the app, and need to pay now to get a clean system. AppZapper is for the serial shareware/freeware experimenter who wants the peace of mind of a clean uninstall. Especially with an app that is supposed to clean your system, it's really messed up to run an activity only partially, and then ask for money. Tools App - AppZapper lets you delete applications with the drag and drop function that can be used to install them. On top of application deletion Hazel also has some nice file automation functions. AppTrap and Hazel both run in the background somehow and automatically ask if you want to delete the associated files when you drag an application to the trash. While it's OK to provide only limited functionality in a trial version, the appsshould be upfront about what the limitation is. With AppZapper you drag the application you want to remove to AppZapper and it finds all associated files. 1Password and Things are also very high-quality apps and recommend them to anyone considering them. Sneaky about trial limitation and prices Trial version only cleans 500 MB, but it does not disclose that limit before one pushes the button to clean after a scan. AppCleaner is an excellent free alternative to AppZapper.
