Awesome

Bought this app a long time ago but just got around to reviewing it. Works great, good to see whats running and be able to close them withought restarting. Thanks for saving my battery life, well worth the money.

Ios 4.0

Sadly, the Free Memory function does not appear to work with ios 4.0. In trying to free memory it seems to go through the motions but never frees any memory.

Still great

Glad the ios4 release is out. Would give 5 stars if the "free memory" still had its own button. Against the other reviews for ios4 - the app starts to free memory upon launch... Though I have to launch it a few times to clear all running apps.

Meh

This was a great app before os4. Now its just useless.

So Disappointed!!!

Used to love this app, when u could free the memory. The new OS 4 update ruined this whole app and turned it into one of the many lame apps which display memory info about runtime and storage memory, along with running processes and CPU usage. Boring boriGng useless useless!!!I IMPORTANT: If u want an app that frees memory, I found one: MEMORY SWEEP. It may not be as great as this app once was, but it does the trick and it frees up ur memory. And believe me these kind of apps are hard to find

Thanks for the update!

YAY the update is out! I actually like the way that it clears memory by itself instead of me pressing a button everytime.

Still a good app!

To start...GREAT customer support! This is the only app Ive found that will free up memory...and it does a great job doing it! My iPhone will get quite low in memory from apps Ive either stopped using or havent used in a while. With iOS4 things are a little different but still a great app! If you have concerns about the iOS4 update, I highly recommend you contact support before giving a low rating - they will explain everything. Thanks

Yes It Does Free Memory!

Works great now with iOS4. All those people giving bad reviews to this version - you launch the app and just wait a few moments. Free memory goes up!

Crash...

iOs4 seems crashing sometimes, cant tell whats wrong.. But awesome app!!!! I got it since its on the appstore.

Necessary for 3G phones ...

IMO, this is a required app for anyone with a 3G phone. 3G phones are susceptible to newer apps not shutting down properly, and to memory leaks, especially now that Apple no longer supports the 3.x OS and since Apple does not require backward compatability (Apple could learn a lot from Microsoft when it comes to showing that they value the relationship with their customers!). This app allows me to see if my phones performance degredation is likely originating from an ill behaved app. Ive used the app under iOS4 and under 3.1.3 The app does work better under iOS4.x, but that is moot for 3G owners who want their phones to work at any pace other than glacial. I hope the developers tweak it a little more for use under 3.1.3, but even if they dont, I think that 3G owners will find it a helpful tool for extending the effective life of their phones.

Free memory then crash

This app does free memory on my iPhone 3G v3.1.2 but afterward, it crashes. On my iPod Touch 4G v4.1, it performs fine.

Necessary

My 3Gs with iOS4 was heating up at random times and running down the battery. This Apps CPU usage function enabled me to watch when the processor started to max out and find out what was causing the heating. Also the support guys helped me to understand an manage the multitasking in iOS4 which was largely to blame. Brilliant App and absolutely necessary to manage your phone.

Crash

It crash, all the times, every time.

Best 3 bucks for your 3G !!!

Launch and it frees essential memory from your 3G phone. Speeds up everything, REALLY! People that rated this app low just dont understand its purpose. That feature alone is worth the $$$. Dont change your phone, buy this app. Run 1-2 times a week if youre a heavy app user. Cheers!

should show CPU percentage on a per-job basis

I got this to find out why my iphone 4s consumes battery resources at such a dismaying rate. (Thats another story, the short version of which may be "sell your Apple shares".) The application does not crash, and its elegantly designed. However, it does not do the most basic (and important) thing: list the CPU consumption by the various jobs that are listed. It gives the process name and an ID. This is not useful at all.

IPad2

This app doesnt seem to do anything except display memory usage. If its optimizing the iPads ram theres nothing that tells the user its doing anything.

Crashes!

This App crashes constantly with ipad 3rd gen. New update did not fix the bug. I will delete this useless app.

Nice App

Like the app. Only problem, is that it ends music playing when launching.

DO NOT BUY

App keeps crashing after running for 2 seconds, dont waste your money

Useful tool to see whats going on

Lets you look under the hood and see what is tying up your resources
