Even in the Mac App Store, Apple permits scammy apps such as "Memory Clean" [1] that consistently ends up in top ranks/top grossing. For one, "RAM cleaning" does nothing helpful and theoretically can make your Mac less performant. Bonus: the app calls home to push the developer's other apps.
I'm surprised stuff like this prospers in plain sight with Apple's tacit approval. Snake oil for non-power users who don't know better.
@lpsz can you support these statements? "For one, "RAM cleaning" does nothing helpful and theoretically can make your Mac less performant. Bonus: the app calls home to push the developer's other apps."

I don't see why apple doesn't ban them.

Worse than that, that app claims to be "FEATURED BY APPLE AS AN INVALUABLE UTILITY 2014"
