Is Magic Cleaner pulled from Appstore?
Can not find it anymore, it was there some months ago?
If it's not there anymore, why is this?

It's like Apple take down every app who kan make your phone run better and clean cache and leftover files?

I don't think they want people to have fast phones, they want them to be new and fast for some months, then cluttered whit leftovers, big app caches and everything that makes you wanna buy a new (faster) phone with more storage.
It's crazy

If car dealerships would follow the same path there would not be allowed to buy fuel.
Only new cars come with a full thank and when it's empty you need to buy a new car!

Not really the same analogy....filling a car up with fuel is a bit like charging your phone which you can do. Your issue would be like putting stuff in the boot of the car but never being able to take it out.

It honestly sounds like snake oil to me.

However, there are plenty of other “cleaner” apps which claim to “optimize” your iPhone.

Finally, what evidence do you have, other than not being able to find the app, that the fault lies with Apple, or if it was Apple, that the app was removed for the reasons you ranted about?

Haha, maybe you are right!
I don't know if it's really worked but I enjoyed the placebo effect.
No evidence, just needed to get it out and see if anyone could get me to think otherwise :)

My point in the last bit is that apps are put up and taken down all the time. Maybe the dev is coming out with a new version? Maybe the dev wanted out of the biz.? Maybe Apple yanked it the dev’s account for sideloading or sending data to Facebook without users’ consent?

It very well could’ve been Apple, but being as there are still a multitude of other “cleaner” apps in the App Store, there are many alternative explanations to this particular app being unavailable.

Is it not necessary with cleaner apps on iOS?
Should I just reinstall and install again the apps who are growing in size?
Like Facebook and so on?
