Description of App

AppDelete is an uninstaller for Macs that will remove not only Applications but also Widgets, Preference Panes, Plugins, and Screensavers along with their associated files.

Accessibility Comments

When I first purchased this app for $5 the only way it was accessible was by control-clicking an app and choosing appdelete from the menu. After 1 email the developer corrected this. It is still totally accessible with voiceover.

Usability

The app is fully accessible with VoiceOver and is easy to navigate and use.

Other Comments

If you've ever just sent an app to the trash, this program will find all the left-overs and get rid of them too! The app calls these left-overs "orphans".

Hi Daniel, It appears the full version of AppDelete is not available in the App Store. I've updated the entry to include the MacUpdate.com address. Regards, Michael Hansen AppleVis Editorial Team
