 And if you’re wondering what tech reviews say about Gemini 2, wonder no more: we’ve gathered some of them below. WHAT MAC EXPERTS SAY “I’ve been an active user of MacPaw’s Gemini software since its inception, and Gemini 2’s release today has made me fall in love with it all over again. In just the initial scan, Gemini 2 found more files and more places where I could intelligently clear and save space on my Mac.” 
- 9to5mac “If you want to clean up your Mac, but are trepidatious about digging around in your files and accidentally deleting something important, Gemini 2 has a lot to offer and makes the whole process very simple.” - 
iMore “With Gemini 2 there’s little reason to fear duplicates. It has a polished, intuitive user interface and the brains to differentiate copies from originals by testing them against nearly a dozen different parameters. It’s also much faster, especially compared to digging through thousands of files and folders the old-fashioned way.” - 
MacWorld SUBSCRIPTION AND PRICING Some features are only partially available for non-paying users and can be unlocked with a Yearly Access plan. For example, the non-paying users can delete found duplicates only manually via Reveal in Finder feature and don’t have access to Smart Cleanup.

    There is no Reveal in Finder, Open does not work, QuickLook does not work. The results are meaningless if I can’t review them.
  • Needs Dark Mode

    It’s 2024 and soon 2025, yet this app DOES NOT have dark mode 🤷🏻‍♂️
  • Deceptive Free Trial

    Be careful. There is supposed to be a 3 day free trial. But, your account is charged the subscription price immediately. And, there is apparently no documented way to cancel the free trial. So, in reality, no free trial - you bought it.
  • Never finishes a scan and no details to follow progress

    This app did not work for my needs and I cannot cancel the free evaluation it before the payment is due. Terrible customer service.
  • Horrible design

    I ran the scan and then when I looked at “Review Results”, I was stunned by what I saw. On any hierarchical file system, the full, complete name of a file is the full path name, starting from some suitable starting point. They should have been thinking, “What is the cleanest and easiest way to display the full path name of the file?” It is obvious that they never even asked this question. What was shown to me was row upon row consisting almost entirely of tiny folder icons, separated by tiny right-arrow characters. What possible purpose is there for showing the user a screen full of little folder icons and arrows, instead of showing the full name of the file or leaf node? In order to see the name of the file, you have to move the mouse cursor over the individual components of the full file name. As you do this, the individual components of the file name, corresponding to branch nodes of the hierarchy, expand to reveal the hidden name for that one component of the full name. I honestly do not think that I have seen anything this patently stupid. Why on earth would it even occur to anyone to do something like this? Why couldn’t they have hired one or two grownups to keep the children from doing this kind of thing?
  • Run away quick from this app!

    I bought this app a couple of years ago. Never used it much, but whem I did it was good. Mow I go to use it once more and I am unable to. Looks like I need to start a yearly subscription to the app that I already paid for. They have made it un-usable without a supscription. F U Macpaw, you greedy S-O-Bz

    Had been using earlier versions back when I a 2017 macbook air it worked great. Now that it’s subscription based and all basic tools have been locked behind a paywall, It is no longer functional.

    I downloaded and tried GeminiII on my photos first. It seems to do a good job, but I have a feature request which might be pretty easy to implement. The first thing I did after purging some photos was to look at what was deleted. From the 'Moved to Trash' folder, it would be nice to have a gallery view which would show the deleted items without having to select them one by one. The developers might also consider showing the deleted items next to the 'duplicate' that remains. Just to give the customer a visual reinforcement that no mistake occurred. 3 stars simply because I've only owned this for about 30 minutes.
