Ashampoo Droid Optimizer review
Ashampoo Droid Optimizer comes with fast and powerful file, cache, and app cleaning tools, a helpful Privacy Advisor for viewing app permissions at a glance, a robust App Manager, as well as customizable automatic features, making it a potent and useful app to have.
Pros
1-Touch Speed Up: Ashampoo Droid Optimizer's showcase feature, the 1-Touch Speed Up accessible through the main screen or via a home screen widget, quickly cleans the cache and stops background apps to boost your performance. The best part is that it lets you create a whitelist for excluding certain apps from the cleanup.
Robust features: The app packs all the cleaning and optimization tools you need on a daily basis in an accessible interface, through which you can easily clean your Web browser history, manage auto-starting apps, sort and uninstall multiple apps at the same time, and identify suspicious apps based on the permissions they use. All these features work well, are speedy, and integrate with a "Broom Ranking" with achievements for using the scheduler or thrashing files.
Good automation: With the Auto Clean Up you can clean the cache, stop background apps, clear Web browser history and more at regular intervals ranging from 1 hour to 48 hours. You'll also appreciate the reliable Good Night Scheduler, which can automatically disable Wi-Fi during set intervals to preserve battery life, not only at night, but also while you're at work or at home.
Cons
Non-material design: While this app looks good, the interface requires too many taps; to launch the Junk Finder, for example, you need to make three taps. If you're used to the expediency of CleanMaster or to the material design of many Lollipop apps, this app's interface will feel a bit slow and clumsy.
Bottom Line
With its solid features, good automation, and speediness, Ashampoo Droid Optimizer is a robust and effective system cleaner and optimizer. While you may not find its design as appealing and intuitive as CleanMaster's or that of other popular cleaners, it gets a big thumbs-up for having no ads or nagging promotions integrated into it. If you're looking for a powerful, ad-free utility, try this one.
