Sometimes applications can appear to have a mind of their own by crashing and doing unexpected things and this could be due to the fact that apps can have corrupted preference files that inhibit their normal functionality.

In order to solve this problem, you must either try to open the app and change its settings, or just search the user Library and pray that you know which exact file to delete.

App Fixer comes with a practical solution for this problem, a streamlined and easy to use utility that helps you restore your applications to their original settings by automatically removing their preference plist files.

Note that, after the removal process, a new plist file will be generated with the app’s default settings once you relaunch it.

As is the case of most OS X applications, App Fixer can be installed by simply drag and dropping the application to the your Mac's Applications folder.

App Fixer features a stripped-down and minimalist graphic user-interface with a single window with two buttons. In order for App Fixer to do its magic, you must click the Choose button, select the application that you want to get in pristine shape, and click the Fix button.

Once the Fix button is clicked, App Fixer will quickly remove all related preference plists and saved application state files. If the removal of all user preferences was successful, you will be notified by a pop-up message window that will inform you to restart your Mac in order for the changes to take place.

Taking all things into consideration, App Fixer provides you with an easy and fast way to effortlessly restore applications to their original settings as a first step towards having an error-free working environment.

What's new in App Fixer 1.7:
