14 DAY TRIAL // Yongcong Chen sells this memory-cleansing app for iOS devices called cMemory Pro. It’s a $0.99 / €0.89 title whose marketing materials claim to free entire gigabytes of memory on your iDevice.
Set aside the fact that memory cleaning apps are more often than not completely useless, no iDevice currently sold by Apple has more than 1GB of RAM aboard.
Yet the screenshots accompanying cMemory Pro and cMemory for iOS 7 (which is free) claim to be able to purge up to 8GB of memory. This, to me, sounds like deceptive marketing material.
It’s not entirely Apple’s fault that this lie was accepted in the App Store, since the company has to handle apps by the thousand every day, but it’s the second fishy app I’ve come across in less than four hours. And just like Wi-Fi Password Finder, cMemory is among the top ranked apps on iTunes.
