  4. ukmike says:

    Don’t think his application is available on the UK app store

  5. Sonic says:

    You forgot for very useful application MultiCleaner. It allows to close all background apps or just one (you can hold the home button for a couple of seconds and you are given an option to permanently quit the app with the tap of a finger).

    Have had Kill Background for 5 months now, and it is probably my 2nd most favorite JB app (2nd only to MyWiFI!)

  7. Bruceritops says:

    The process kill app is apparently not available in the US App Store, either.

    • jen says:

  8. Nicolas molina says:

    HAHAHA!!! People saying they can`t find the app in the App Store!! LOLLL Do they even know what a Jailbreak App is?? It means you can only find it in Cydia (ROFL) Hey Everybody!!! Stop looking for this app in the app store, you can only get it as I said, in Cydia… I hope you all know that Cydia isn`t in the app Store either LMAO !!! But anyways, I recommend so much more another, much better app: MultiCleaner (also from Cydia) Cheers !

    • ukmike says:

      • cayo says:

        Yeah you fool.

        P.S. ( In case you didn’t read this very well I thought I would add this P.S. – Remember to read before you speak, you could try thinking before you speak too, peace)

    Edward…if you were to read carefully, you would’ve noted this paragraph, to which these comments you refer are directed:

    Recently launched in AppStore , “Process Kill” lets you exit from unwanted apps running in the background freeing up used memory . This app is priced $0.99 and requires no jailbreaking . Runs on all multi-tasking enabled devices including iPhone 4S , iPhone 4 , iPad , iPod Touch 4 . Cons : The apps closes itself when “Close All” command is given . iTunes Link .

  13. Pat says:

    We do know what a Jailbreak App is. Did you read the above post??? It states that the “Process Killer” app can be found in the AppStore and they provide a link to iTunes.

  14. Alex Noble says:

    Many Edward doesn’t understand basic English! Do you need a translation app Edward? I know quite a few!!!!! LMAO!!!!

  15. cayo says:

    My iTunes says it is only available in the Indian iTunes store.

  16. Hal says:
