SD Maid Pro

[Indecisi0n]

Anyone use this app? I paid for it and it seems to work well. Someone said you should just let the phone handle these things but others swear by it. Just curious what your thoughts on it we're.

Why do you think you need a cleaner? Yes I briefly installed paid upgrade. And removed it. Selling point?

"Nobody is perfect and neither is Android."

And every update, improvements to SD Maid app. There is a sticky as to why such programs are not a good idea, and may not be worth the risk.

I used it once and it's a great app.


Having said this I am not using it now because Samsung includes its own maintenance tools in the form of "device maintenance".

Us Verizon customers don't have that option. Verizon took it out.

Not for those on Verizon

The baked in Device Maintenance is built by Cheetah Mobile, the same people who built Clean Master. CM was one of the apps that received the most criticism from the anti cleaner crowd. Now Samsung bakes it in so it's more readily accepted. I'd say there is a need for it since Samsung felt the need to add it to the mix.

SD Maid is very good for a thorough cleaning of your phone. It should only be used by people who know what they are doing. I had to learn because it cleaned one my previous phones a little too much and I had to figure out what I did wrong. I no longer root my phones so I don't use SD Maid Pro as much as before.

I love SD Maid. I use it once in a while to clear out all the junk. Best money I paid for an app.

Quite right, I would never recommend cheetah mobile to my worst enemy..

But the problem with cheetah mobile is their spying and their unreasonable permission requests.


Since it's embedded in TW and I can't get rid of it, I can only trust Samsung took steps to prevent their spying. And if they haven't prevented it, they'll spy whether I use it or not, so I might as well use it.

If you don't have device maintenance by all means SD maid is the way to do it. It's transparent, lightweight, gets the job done and the Dev offers great support.
