AppShut Customer Insights

1. Pls, unless it for a critical matter, hold off on releasing them instead of pushing one out as quick as possible.I enjoy how this app works, it's much easier than going into settings, scrolling down to apps and then if you are like me having apps open from games and it drains your battery from doing an update along with other self starting apps, it's a pain to go into each one to force stop.

2. All considered, Pro version purchase isn't deserved.I'd say it works half way cause a lot of times when I decide to close all my apps (specially Face Book) in order to play "lag free", I go back into this app just to see that most of the apps I just closed 5 seconds ago are back open again.

3. Allows you to "blacklist" apps so that they aren't labeled for shut-off, which is useful if force stopping certain apps causes issues for you, or you just want to keep certain apps running no matter what.

4. The AppShut app eliminates that by giving you boxes to check to stop unwanted running apps and also has an option to exempt apps that you want to keep running.

5. Using Samsung S8 activeFunctions as a process monitor to see which apps are running and enables stopping those that aren't necessary.

6. Whats the point of learning which apps open if you can't choose to stop them from opening, short of deletion that is.

7. It is very important to specify which apps are to be excluded from the shutdown, otherwise secondary apps dealing with time, astronomy, weather and coundowns will malfunction.

8. It chooses not to close 2 apps I dont use, and are disabled!Half an hour later, all closed apps have been allowed to run again.

9. When streaming music, l need most apps closed.If my tablet slows down, I use this app.

10. I have deleted some anoying apps due to their constant restarting and looked/found similar "happy" replacement apps.This app does not close all apps chosen.

11. No frills here, just does what it's supposed to do-shuts off running apps.
