AppZapper 2? Does it remove the application before you even install it?

What is Appzapper 2? VAPOURWARE

Check Wikipedia, it'll be right next to TUBULAR (which is also the definitive 'delicious' app), Cha-Ching 2 and Disco

Have you checked Undercover from Obicule? It is theft recovery software that you install on your laptop in case it is ever stolen. It is obviously not much good to you now but it could come in handy (hopefully not, though!) in the future.

Here's a link:

This would be nice, I have used cleanapp, but  have heard great things about this...

I am still using AppZapper on a regular basis, not sure what could be better about it because it is simple to use and deletes all the files an app has created (and the app itself ).
Oh, and it is fast, too...

Waylin, looool.

Well why do we need AppZapper 2? The first one works well.

I have the original app zapper, and the only thing I can think of that he'd do to improve is change the interface a little (as you can see in the pictures he posted somewhere) and make it find more stuff.  Besides the little flash and the sound it's not that great.  Hazel finds more stuff, and clean.app is phenomenal if you have the daemon running, not only can it grab everything that was installed, it can even find any file created with that app.

I've about given up on any of his apps, even if we do get appzapper 2 maybe we'll get 1 or 2 updates, then he'll forget about it for the next thing like most of his other projects.

Over the last year my experience has been the opposite where appzapper, most of the time, finds more than Hazel.  Haven't looked at clean.app though.

I had the same experience as "Bank Robber" with Hazel and Appzapper, but found that with some update Hazel became as potent as Appzapper.

AppZapper is really a great app and I think they update it just to make it really hot! Maybe better interface or something like this, I dont think this will be a completely fresh app, just some changes.

I agree with kiler6789...

They could just improve interface a bit and maybe add cleaner for the apps that arent there but they left files in Library

I've never used AppZapper, but it sounds just like AppCleaner, which is free:

Should probably get back to work.

Appzaper 2 + beta access? Must have been sleeping last year. Did you try to contact the developer?

Tweeeeeet me!

I do not know which one is better, I have used Appzapper for a long time, just started using appcleaner, which I like a bit better....

No Guts, No Glory!

If MacHeist wanted to help us... they would hook us up with UnderCover to keep our laptops from getting heisted.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Of course, I'll be happy with whatever they offer.  I ain't complaining about free software... or a good deal on a bundle.

App Zapper 2 is out? The original app zapper is great and i use it almost every day!

It is an uninstaler for Mac OS X. It removes the app and all the associated files, it is realy cool.

There is other apps like that, but the appzaper is the best!

I used to have this app but I found out that it didn't completely clean out many of the apps I deleted. Now I'm using Hazel. Much easier to delete files with and it actually deletes al the hidden files (as far as I know).

Hi

I love appzapper, But it hasn't really been updated much.
I don't find problems with it though

A proud member of the orange team!

That would indeed be a nifty feature. I find myself always checking throught spotlight for not removed program files and program related files.

LETS GO TEAM ORANGE!!!!!

I use AppZapper and recommend it to less technical friends who don't want to figure out how to make Hazel effective (I use both.)  I'd have to agree that I don't see much need to upgrade AppZapper (or Disco for that matter) because it does exactly what it says and works great.  If it ain't broke...

There are many apps that (IMHO) only need updates when a new OS version comes out so that they continue to provide full functionality. AppZapper, Disco, Scrivener, TextMate, and other workhorse programs fit this category.  I don't want my hammer suddenly developing a screwdriver feature; I just want a good hammer that I can pick up and use without thinking about it.

I didn't know Hazel did that (or forgot)... I'm really hoping that they include it in the bundle, I've wanted it for a while, but can't bring myself to actually buy it.

Spare your old copy? haha

I'm also using appcleaner, but the interface isn't as polished as that of appzapper's.

AppZapper is much better then AppCleaner as for me. I hope the next version will be released soon.

I have Hazel, but have never run it (from MUPromo bundle) and stick with AppCleaner. It's great and free! From what I could see Hazel is great for people that tend to litter their computer with stuff and need to clean it up. I don't work like that, and files being moved inadvertently could be a disaster for me.

Wow, thank you guys for mentioning CleanApp - it;s much more full-featured (albeit more complicated) than AppZapper or any other uninstall app, finds more files (all of them, thank god almighty), and has extra tools for me to find large cache files around my HDD. A great app for sure!

cleanApp is awesome, especially when running the service or whatever they call it, some people had problems with it, i haven't had any yet, and you can have it work like apptrap or hazel where it opens when you trash a program that has other files.

I believe that appzapper is a neat app!
Up till now,
I don't really feel the need of a version 2.
I am a firm believer of the school: "if it works don't mess with it!"

bye

AppZapper works fine for me since I got it with the last bundle. Great tool and easy to use!

I tried cleanapp for awhile, and it does find the most files, but it's also the most expensive of all these tools. For me, it's not worth the extra few kilobytes of disk space. I use AppCleaner and I love it. I switched from AppZapper since it hasn't been updated since before MH2, and I'm very satisfied. It even opens when I move an app to the trash, something that AppZapper doesn't currently do.

Yeah, but that doesn't sell.

Hazel will clean up what AppZapper leaves behind.  With both you will get most apps zapped totally removed from your disk.  But there are still apps that leave stuff behind so a third app will look for orphaned prefference files.  That app is MacPilot.

Was AppZapper 2 a MacHeist loot?

AppZapper 1.8 was part of the MH2 bundle, and it included a free update to AppZapper 2, which hasn't been released yet.

I wish I was paying attention during the MacHeist 2. For some reason, I ignored the postings or wasn't paying attention for a while. I would love AppZapper 2

you can stop dreaming man...

i think that Appzapper is death...

Using AppCleaner and it seems to work really well.

I have both Appzapper and Hazel.  Half the time when I delete an app using Appzapper, Hazel will pop up and ask I want to delete the following additional data.  I still use both.

Thanks for the tip on AppCleaner!  I've just grabbed it and cleaned up my system a bit
Now if only I can get on the actions with AppZapper too

rawr~

Appzapper still works great for me.

Never ask a person what computer they use. If they use a Mac, they will tell you, otherwise why shame them.

Hazel looks really good, I'm going to try it. I like how it keeps all your files organised too. Not just uninstalling.

Please use my referral, I'll remove after I get two! http://www.macheist.com/bundle/u/165993/

THANKS

Me too, and that is one excellent non-intrusive and free app!

Just Me. And my Team.

What should I do? Keep using AppZaper or try using AppCleaner?
