I started using JV16 Power Tools on day one. That's way over 10 years ago. I found out about it through an excellent, no BS, email tech newsletter called "The Langalist Plus!" which said this about... See more

I love the product and the service.
My name is Richard Freeze & I'm doing something I have never done before, "Making a comment online about a product or service."
I am 80 years old and have more computer than I am capable of handling thanks to a wonderful grandson. I live in fear of the bad guys on the Internet, "Thieves & Crooks." You know the type.
I have been using three different computer "CLEANERS" to maintain my computer and keep it running smooth. Now however, this program does it all. That makes it very easy for me and I feel confident that my machine is in good shape.
I had reason to contact "Support Service" and I was shocked with the almost immediate and helpful response from them. "Thanks a lot!" Thank you for the product & the service. I have a lifetime license which means the service department will probably be taking care of me for a while. [Ha]
I will never do this again, rest assured.

jv16 PowerTools - Still the Best
I've used jv16 PowerTools for about 17 years, ever since I discovered it through Fred Langa. I haven't ever needed to use another programme for cleaning up my computer and making sure it's all running smoothly. I love how they've pared it down to basic tools because even though all the original tools were excellent, I found I didn't need to use them much as computers improved over the years. Still, I bought the lifetime license 3 times over the years, just for the cleaner, uninstaller and optimiser and have never needed to use another programme. That's how much I trust jv16 PowerTools. Also a winning angle for me is the customer service. They are personable, friendly and respond promptly to any queries with a friendly courtesy that is sadly lacking in today's society.
Great tool for keeping system performance peak
Been a Macecraft subscriber for a number of years and I love the access and information given me by this app.
Over the years it has focused and sped up and provides good data about what is working and superfluous in my system.
Backup can be automatic and choices you can exercise make it foolproof to use.
A great tool to keep your system tightend up.
New user to JV16
New user to JV16. Couldn't pass up the lifetime support for $30. Got the first update, installed it but for some reason my lifetime license wouldn't take effect. So turned in a problem report and got a quick reply. Long story short, I didn't read the instructions as closely as I thought I did. You have to select one of the Newsletter settings. Once I did, I was all set. Lessoned learned. Loved the quick response. Love the tool.
I am a recent purchaser of JV16 Power…
I am a recent purchaser of JV16 Power Tools. I had heard about it through a computer e-newsletter so I decided to try it. I liked it so well that I decided to buy a 1-year license. After using it for a week or so, I then decided it worked so wonderful on my computer and my wife's that I would buy the Lifetime license. I e-mailed Support and immediately within one day had a response back telling me to buy the Lifetime license and they would refund the amount I paid for the 1-year license. After doing this I had trouble upgrading my 1 year to a Lifetime license. I e-mailed Support and also the Customer Support individual I originally heard back from about upgrading the license to a Lifetime. Well, in the meantime I found the information about the upgrade which was in my Spam folder and followed the instructions, and lo and behold it upgraded. I left out a step. Anyway, to make a long story short, I am getting my original 1-year license payment back and my software upgraded to Lifetime. This was all done in a matter of a couple of days. I can't state how wonderful, competent, kind, and professional the Customer Support Representative Stefan was helping me out. I am looking forward to using this software and the two additional tools they are adding. What a fantastic company this is!!

Have been using JV16 for many years
Have been using JV16 for many years. Their product keeps getting better & better. I recommend JV16 to every computer owner. Support service is second to none.

I have used this since it first came out and today's version is 10 times better than the first release and the first release was very good. Every time there has been a bug I reported, I have received a response within 24 hours and within a week or so they would release a bug release version. Great Company! Fantastic customer service!
everyone needs good friends
My problem was a licensing issue. My current version of JV16 stopped updating eight or 9 years ago but, because the version did everything I needed the I didn't bother to follow up until this year. I gave JV16 my license info and was told the licence had expired. Which I could well believe except I had purchased a life update license. Despite their best efforts JV16 could not find that license. I gave up and gave jv16 a review. However JV16 had not given up. Using my review email name and email address JV determined that I did indeed have a life license but I had initially given JV16the wrong user name and an old email address. So now I have a current version of JV16 PowerTools and my life license. Thanks for going that extra distance. Much appreciated. Good friends are hard to find.
I have been a satisfied user since 2014
I have been a user of the Macecraft product line since June, 2014 - lived through the extended delays for the upgrade to the new jv16 Power Tools - and stuck with it. Yes, I poked and prodded competitors but always returned to jv16. Across the years I have purchased 17 licenses to utilize or share with friends as gifts. The product is constantly improving and I, for a 76 year old technocrate, appreciate the simple but very powerful interface and Macecrafts's intense desire to to be the leader in a very competitive market. Give the product a test drive - you will appreciated its speed, benefits, and completeness.
I am a lifetime subscriber
I am a lifetime subscriber. I have moved, changed systems and many reinstalls on my system and always they have made sure my software is up to date and active. Being an old guy sometimes these updates or fancy changes drive me crazy while I try to learn them. When ever I have gone to them for information or support the replies are always great. I would recommend these guys anytime and other companies could learn from them how to do customer service.
Macecraft jv16 Works As Advertised
I've been using the Macecraft jv16 PowerTools for a number of years and I'm quite satisfied with its performance as well as the performance of the support staff. On occasion when I've needed support they were right on it and did their best to solve my problem expeditiosly. The latest release is top notch and gets the job done quickly and thoroughly. The tool is easy to use and the lifetime license is a good deal for anyone who purchases this software.
jv16PT 5.5.0.697
I have installed jv16PT 5.5.0.697 on three computers running Windows7 and Windows 10, and I find no problems with it. The interface is also very "user friendly". On another PC, running Xp, I use the old faithful JvTP 4.2.0.2009: the user interface is rather cumbersome, but the program runs as expected.
Thanks!

Macecraft holds to a standard of excellence, quality, and service, against which most other software is found to be lacking.

This software "jv16Powertools" from macecraft, that i use since 20 years, is the Reg Editor, Cleaner and Windows Tweaker i have found.
The support is friendly, and the price is just O.K.
Absolute Rubbish
Adding to the review below - The LAtest update does not even Launch - It is impossible to run a log file and they do not refund life time licenses once the programme does not launch - Highly Highly illegal to sell a lifetime licence and iyt does not work
DO NOT BUY
Absolute Rubbish - Fails to run through anything locks up on Internet optimizer
It is really bad and customer service is so awful it is untrue - they ask you to make deep changes to your system that you as an average user have just forked out money for JV16 to do which of course it doesn't do - it freezes
They keep updating it and get it more wrong each time
