Power Clean is a mobile system optimization tool that helps boost the performance of your Android smartphone or tablet. It accomplishes this by scanning your device for unnecessary files that are taking up space as well as giving you the power to effectively manage running and installed applications.

The app itself is very lightweight, taking up just around 2 MB of space. This makes it smaller than many of its competitors. The main feature of Power Clean is called the Junk Cleaner. which finds old APK files, application cache files and temporary data that hasn't been removed and a variety of other "junk" files that use up storage space. By getting rid of unneeded files, you can potentially free up several gigabytes of space on your smartphone or tablet.

Next, there's a feature called Memory Boost. It provides you with information on which apps are currently running on your device, how much RAM they're using and the option to close them. An autostart manager function shows you the apps that run whenever your device starts. By turning off all the unnecessary ones, you can make your device start up faster and reduce the amount of RAM used by some apps that constantly run in the background even if they're not being used at the moment.

Power Clean has an app manager that is easier to use and more functional compared to the default one provided by the operating system. You can see all installed applications, sort them by date installed and last usage, then select the ones you wish to uninstall. You can even get rid of many pre-installed apps that you're not using. The app manager also gives you the opportunity to backup apps or move them to your SD card when possible.

While Power Clean was designed with performance improvement in mind, this handy utility comes with a few other valuable features. The Privacy Manager section shows you the permissions associated with each app, finds private data on your device and lets you securely clean it. There's also a section showing the technical specifications of your device, including battery level, resource usage, temperature, etc.

All of the functions of the app are neatly organized in their respective sections. The interface is clean and all control buttons are prominently displayed for greater ease of use. All scans complete very quickly and the small size of the app makes it light on RAM and storage space usage. The only downside is that it doesn't include some features provided by its main competitors. Adding automatic data backup, anti-malware and anti-theft features would make Power Clean more complete.
