What it does
Super Cleaner is a mobile utility app designed to help users reclaim storage space on their devices. Its primary function is to scan for and delete unnecessary files, such as duplicate photos, similar screenshots, and large videos. Beyond cleaning, the app positions itself as a 'Swiss Army knife' by bundling a variety of other tools, including a network speed test, a decibel meter, a secure photo vault, and even an LED scroller.
Where it shines
The app's strength lies in its comprehensive and granular approach to cleanup. After a scan completes (00:57), it doesn't just present a single number. Instead, it neatly categorizes findings into 'Screenshots,' 'Duplicate Photos,' 'Similar Photos,' and corresponding video sections. This gives users a clear overview and a sense of control. The interface for managing duplicates (01:07) is also effective, automatically suggesting the 'Best Photo' to keep, which simplifies the decision-making process for the user.
UX highlights
- Clear Post-Scan Breakdown: The results screen at 01:00 provides a transparent view of where storage is being used, empowering users to make informed decisions.
- 'Best Photo' Heuristic: The app automatically marks one photo in a duplicate set as the 'Best Photo' (01:07), reducing cognitive load and speeding up the cleanup process.
- All-in-One Dashboard: The main dashboard at 00:36 provides a simple entry point to the core cleaning function and secondary utilities, making navigation straightforward.
- Simple, Focused Tools: Each secondary utility, like the speed test (03:51) or decibel meter (02:57), has a dedicated, uncluttered interface focused on its single job.
- Visual Feedback: The app provides clear visual feedback, such as the confetti animation at 01:14 after a successful cleanup, which adds a small moment of positive reinforcement.
Monetization & growth
The app employs a very aggressive monetization strategy. Upon first launch, it immediately presents a hard paywall (00:06) that gates all functionality. There is no opportunity to try the app or see its features before committing to a free trial that auto-renews into a paid subscription. The paywall itself uses common tactics like offering a lifetime plan, showing a large discount for the annual option ('Save 80%'), and reframing the price into a smaller weekly amount to reduce sticker shock.
Who it’s for
This app is for users who are highly motivated to free up storage space on their phones and are frustrated with finding and deleting duplicate files manually. The target user is likely less tech-savvy and values the convenience of an all-in-one tool that promises to solve their problem quickly. They are probably willing to pay for a solution that simplifies a tedious task, and they may also be attracted to the added value of the bundled utility features.
Notes & opportunities
The initial user experience is jarring. Presenting an ad for a different app at 00:02 before showing the paywall is confusing and could erode trust. The immediate, mandatory paywall is a significant point of friction that likely causes a very high drop-off rate. A better approach might involve allowing one free scan to demonstrate the app's value. This would prove its effectiveness and could lead to higher-quality conversions at a paywall presented later in the flow.
