broken thread fork):
AppZapper's info and strong point is that it removes all material
associated with an app.
Insert here all the stuff I said about MacKeeper in the other thread
fork. AppZapper ONLY works on the apps it actually knows of, has
been updated for, or that *only* follow the simple Apple guidelines.
Beyond that, AppZapper is a FAIL - and should NOT be depended upon.

How about using a search "find" and spotlight
I've used both successfully.
Splotchlight can be useful to find the ancillary files. But you
cannot depend on it to find 'em all ... not every file you need to
trash will contain the app's name or domain's name or company's name,
or be set so it can be seen by the user, plus quite often people
exclude certain folders and such from its index...
Bottom line: There is NO substitute for putting some thought into
it. And always try the product's uninstall feature first.
