Using iObit MacBooster

At first glance, MacBooster creates an impression of a do-it-all app that actually has some unique features. Unfortunately, this feeling quickly proves to be deceptive. After downloading a trial version and running a few scans, iObit’s optimization apps shows large numbers and numerous warning urging you to clean your computer. These numbers are followed by bold statements that are meant to intimidate the user and push one to buy a full app.

The trial version, unlike much of Macbooster’s competition, gives you next to no information about the files you have to delete and neither does it provide you with the ability of cleaning things out.

To top it off, some feature names are straight up misguiding. Take Turbo Boost for example. If you are even occasionally keeping up with what’s going on in the world of tech, your first reference will be to Intel’s Turbo boost technology, that literally boosts your CPU clock speed. What iObit calls Turbo Boost in reality is nothing like Intel’s. All it does it remove cache which and lets apps rebuilt new once. While it may make subjective difference, but it’s stretching it to call it Turbo Boost.

As it’s already been mentioned, MacBooster has a free trial version, but you will have to purchase a license to get any functionality beyond scanning. MacBooster is available in the following versions and at the following prices:

• The Lite version has a one-time purchase price of $39.95 (a $49.95 value) for use with a single Mac and provides bare minimum functionality.
• The Standard version covers up to 3 Mac computers for $59.95 (a $109.95 value) and includes virus protection and privacy sweeper
• The Premium version covers as many as 5 Mac computers for $89.95 (a $177.95 value) and tops off the standard package with 24/7 priority customer support

Is MacBooster Safe?

Despite MacBooster’s questionable feature naming, suspicious numbers and shady explanations, it can be considered safe and malware-free. Be careful, though, to only download the MacBooster app from its own site. Downloading MacBooster from an unauthorized third-party download site may cause it to be bundled with other unethical software that could endanger your Mac. Getting software directly from its original site or from the App Store is always a good idea, anyway.
