Comments on Recent App for Android

★★★★★ Mark Brasche · Sep 20, 2022

Works exactly as advertised. SO much more convenient than the card style recent app switcher Gaggle forces on us with no other list options! Used to be there but took it away because they know what's best for us. Right? WRONG!!!

★★★★★ Shelby Mattea · Mar 6, 2025

This app works exactly as described. In older versions of Android you could go to the play store and go into app info and sort them by updated, newest, oldest, but most importantly "last used" this was great to quickly find apps that were running themselves in the background generating full screen pop-ups constantly. Basically an app with adware. Well, Google took that "last used" option away a few years ago for some reason. This app does exactly that allowing you to identify the malicious app

Reset apps backup data storage permanently.

★★☆☆☆ yusufjh67 (Demon) · Feb 10, 2024

I can't customize it like filter apps or custom last used apps 1 day before only.

★☆☆☆☆ Alpha Omega · Dec 18, 2025

Too confusing, why most apps are bad, recent looks a Windows 98
