iOS: Close Running Apps All at Once

April 01, 2017 by RSS Feed

Looking for a way to close all of the running apps on your iPhone all at once? Apple insists you shouldn’t ever have to force close an iOS app because memory and processor management is good enough such measures shouldn’t be necessary. In reality, though, there are definitely times when you might benefit from forcibly closing your apps, such as when your device is low on memory. The problem is how tedious it can be closing them one at a time. Here’s a way you can close running apps all at one time.

This process is going to suspend all of your apps, freeing up memory and processor time. The first thing you need to do is press the Sleep/Wake button until you see the slider to shut down your iPhone.

Next, press and hold the Home Button for approximately five seconds, or until you are returned to either your Lock or Home Screen. That’s it, your apps have all been suspended. If you double-press the Home Button, you’ll still see each of them listed. However, you will probably notice these apps refresh or relaunch when you tap on them. That’s because they’ve actually been shut down.

Since your apps will still show up if you double-press the Home Button, let’s show that this process actually works. The first screenshot below shows the memory usage on my iPhone 7 Plus just before I close running apps all at once.

Next, you can see the memory usage after completing the process. As you can see, more than a gigabyte of memory has been freed up.

If you have a large number of apps running, this method can be much faster than swiping each one up individually to close it. You free up memory and processor time, helping to speed up your iPhone.

HelloGbye, Breaker, Soon and other apps to check out this weekend

April 01, 2017 by RSS Feed

It’s the weekend again, and that means it’s time for another episode of our Apps of the Week roundup. Today’s selections include a digital travel agent, a new podcast client, an app that alerts you when cool things are happening, and of course we’ve picked out two new games for you to try.

HelloGbye

There are hundreds of travel apps out there, but there aren’t too many like HelloGbye. It allows you to easily plan, book and change flights and hotels. It’s essentially like having your own digital travel agent: schedule travel for up to 9 people in real-time by simply having a conversation with the app’s AI bot. There are also features like cash-back and waived fees and splitting costs between travelers. HelloGbye is available for free.

Breaker

Listen to the best new podcast episodes with Breaker. Follow your friends to see what they're listening to, and discover new shows that you'll love. Like, share, and comment on your favorite episodes. Now, if you’re already an avid podcast listener, this app is probably not going to make you switch from your current favorite. But if you’re new to podcasts or are looking to mix things up, Breaker is definitely worth checking out. Just don’t forget to add iDB’s podcasts. Breaker is available for free.

Soon

Tired of missing that sale, live stream, AMA, pre-order, show premiere, birthday party or happy hour? Check out Soon. The app builds a list of various online and local events that you may find interesting, and allows you to set up an alert to let you know when they begin. Features include the ability to discover events, receive notifications, a community leaderboard and more. Soon is available for free.

Gangstar New Orleans

The gold standard for open-world action-adventure series is back, in the fascinating city of New Orleans. With hundreds of vehicles, an outrageous arsenal, and complete freedom to roam this vast city, you have all the tools to become a criminal legend. I’ll admit, it’s a bummer that Gameloft moved from paid games to the trashy free-to-play model, but I feel like open-world fans could still find some joy in this one. Gangstar New Orleans is available for free (with several IAPs).

Meganoid

If the free-to-play open-world genre isn’t really your thing, here is something that is almost the exact opposite: Meganoid. Meganoid is a challenging platformer, generating new levels on every play session. Find many items to enhance your character and his abilities while you descend down into the Meganoid space ship. Do you rush for the exit, or do you take your time to collect everything there is, barely escaping the security drones that will hunt you down if you linger? Meganoid is available for free.
