    It needs updating!

    In the "Comments" to THIS article:- https://

    and-ulbow/

        ...... John says he's going to update the product:-

    //Unfortunately, the analytics feature has proven to be very unpopular.
    I can count the number of people that have mentioned it on one hand with
    fingers left over. I plan to get rid of the current analytics display
    and better integrate the data into the rest of the app.

    That’s a good point about the name. I think I’m going to re-do that too. >> My current plan is that the next version will be “EtreCheck 7” with a
    significantly re-designed interface and a “Pro” package as an in-app
    purchase.//

    Can anyone confirm if the intended changes have been implemented?

    Any help will be much appreciated. I have no idea how to check the
    version number!

    This is what ChatGPT says:-

    To find out if the intended changes to EtreCheck have been implemented, you'll want to check the latest version information on the official
    EtreCheck website or within the app itself.

    1. **Check the Website**: Visit the [EtreCheck website](https:// etrecheck.com/en/index.html) and look for any announcements or blog
    posts about new versions or updates. They often provide details on new features and changes.

    2. **Check the App**:
       - Open EtreCheck on your Mac.
       - Look for an "About" option in the menu (usually under EtreCheck in the top left corner).
       - This should display the version number along with any relevant release notes.

    3. **Community Discussions**: You can also visit forums or discussions
    (like the Apple Community or others) where users discuss updates and
    share experiences.

    If you're still unsure, you could also reach out directly to EtreCheck support for confirmation on the latest features and updates!

    Hmmm.


    An alternative reply using a different browser:-

    It looks like there hasn't been an update to EtreCheck that implements
    the changes John Daniel mentioned. As of now, the latest version is
    still EtreCheckPro 6.8.6. This version introduced support for macOS 15 "Sequoia" but did not include the redesign or removal of the analytics
    feature that John planned for "EtreCheck 7."

    For the most current details and any future announcements regarding
    updates, it’s best to keep an eye on the [EtreCheck website](https://etrecheck.com/en/index.html) or contact their support
    team directly. If you’re following up on John Daniel’s plans, it may
    also be worthwhile to check any community discussions or updates that
    might provide more insights.

    Does anyone else reading here still use EtreCheck?
