App process management tool

AppKiller: force stop apps is a free utility tool for mobile devices by developer DP Soft. It's an app manager that can help users check application processes running in the background. It helps them determine which ones are using large amounts of RAM and causes slowdowns on their devices.

Much like Auto Close: close all apps, AppKiller: force stop apps make it easy for users to identify misbehaving applications that have a negative impact on their devices' performance. It has one-tap operation for quick results or lets users pick specific ones they want to restrict from running in the background.

Keep apps in check

Mobile CPUs just keep getting more powerful, able to handle intensive tasks more effectively and efficiently. The same goes for RAM, which lets you run more applications at the same. However, there's still a limit to everything. Thus, when memory usage becomes too much you start experiencing slowdowns. To help manage and prevent this from happening, an app like AppKiller: force stop apps.

As its name suggests, this app can help keep in identifying applications with high RAM usage. Check stats for both user and system apps, and close processes as you see fit. You can also enable a scheduled auto-close feature during a certain time every day. There's a section where you can see a detailed list of closed apps at any given time for reference.

Other nice features include a Whitelist to add your favorite apps to prevent them from being closed and a handy notification feature that lets you track app launches throughout the day. Despite all it has to offer, Android already has most of the same functionality already built into the OS. Apart from the scheduling function, this app will feel redundant to more experienced users.

Great but not completely necessary

To sum up, AppKiller: force stop apps is a handy little tool to let you manage your apps better and keep performance running smoothly. It's easy to use and offers plenty of customization options. Unless you're running an older version of the OS or you can do away with the scheduling feature, you can do pretty much the same thing natively on Android. Pro
