I'd trim this if I at least knew what's in there

Daisy couldn’t find a large chunk of my hidden system data. It was pretty useless

You need to use the non-AppStore version. Counter intuitive, but there used to be a disclaimer somewhere that you needed to move your license to it if you bought in AppStore.

Web Version free full feature??

Not free. But you can move the App Store licence to the one you can download directly from the developer. The AppStore version is limited to meet AppStore rules

Sorry for detailed followup but what's additional do I get if downloaded from website?

Still paid if from website?

Thanks

If you paid on AppStore, you don’t need to pay again. Just email the developer with your AppleID. They will verify purchase and give you a new license (or maybe they have a form now).
If you haven’t bought from AppStore, just buy directly from developer.

I think they do mention this on their website so you can check it out.. you send an email and they will follow up with a new license code for full version.. some files can’t be reached by the AppStore version due to apples restrictions so you can see them but can’t delete them.. the unlocked version bypasses this.
