Description

From the listing uploaded by “rofe”.

This app kills minimized app tasks when you turn off the screen. While the other task killer apps kills service tasks, this one kills app tasks which are opened by users. When you install this app, you can save the battery and memory usage even if launch many apps and minimize them with home button. NOTE: This app CANNOT remove other apps from launched app list which is shown when you long-tap the home button. So you cannot see the effect obviously if you don't check the memory usage finely. For it is not desirable or able for an app to kill other apps entirely according to the Android App notions. But you can see the killed apps takes time to restart when you install this app, since the apps' tasks are killed and inactivated. I tested the memory usage and I found out that Auto App Killer can surely reduce the memory usage.

Auto App Killer APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Auto App Killer APK safe?
