 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.” -

  • Basic Duplicate Finder, Horrible Customer Service

    I’ve been a fan of Macpaw and their Clean My Mac software, so I was optimistic about Gemini2. I subscribed for the yearly pro version of Gemini2, and it has done a good job of detecting duplicates and removing them. However, finding similar images (which was my main goal in purchasing) does not work. While it will find similar images and allow you to select which to remove, it’s “ignore duplicates” function does not work and will regularly re-list photos that I would rather ignore (ie: photos that have both a color and B&W version). This makes finding similar photos very difficult as you have to scroll past all the “ignore” photos that are not ignored. I have attempted to contact customer service over 3-weeks via multiple emails, attempt to use their online chat (which they advertise but do not actually have available) and via phone (which directs you to a voicemail that is never returned). Because of this, I will be asking for a refund and/or chargeback.

    I guess it does what it says it will do, but not very well. I have duplicate music libraries. Gemini 2 sometimes found the files, and sometimes it found the folders . . . Sometimes the same album was in the same folder in two different places, but Gemini chose the files - not the folders, and sometimes it chose the whole folder, but it was so inconsistent that it was hard to tell what was going on, so I could never ask it to delete what it found. Sometimes it would try to delete the same track from two different albums. Yes, it’s the same song, but one song is on a compilation, and the other is on the album, so no I don’t want to delete one of them. Ultimately, I didn’t find it did what I wanted it to. However, I suppose it was doing its job. If you have a large music library and you’re a bit of a completist - I DON’T RECOMMEND. If you just want to get rid of any duplicates and you don’t care too much, then this might suit your needs.
