★★★★★ Super, remove all the open apps in one go.. most awaited app for Marshmallow

★★★★★ Unique and useful, one more good software by Chainfire.

★★★★★ Great app, but not working after upgrade to Android 10, hope it's fixed soon, OnePlus 6

★★★★★ really useful it can autokill tasks at an age limit ypu can enable a clear all button.

★★★★★ Edit: Does not work on OOS 10.3.1 Old: Thanks for making my recents useful! 👍🏻 Would it be possible to add smaller age limits like 5 or 15mins?

★★☆☆☆ Used to work on my samsung j3 2016 now even after setting only 4 running apps it doeasnt work. Kindly help

★★☆☆☆ I even bought this but still doesn't work on my Zenfone 2. I really would love this thing working.

★★☆☆☆ HTC m8 gpe doesn't work, oh well

★★☆☆☆ I believe it will be a good app for kids and old people, and for us ordinary people, I'm prettysure everyone knows how to keep their device well and performing, it becomes a habit automatically

★★☆☆☆ Does not seem it is working or changing anything.

★★☆☆☆ Too sad that this app doesn't work anymore for Android 9+...
