About Advanced Task Killer Pro
Advanced Task Killer is also known as ATK. It is a tool to kill applications running. This version is pro version which doesn't contain ads.
ATK is often used to kill apps and clean memory. We do suggest people use ATK manually kill apps instead of auto killing apps.
-Ignore List
-One tap widget
-Auto kill
-Customize item height
1. How to use it (for new users to quick start)?
It is pretty simple. Open this tool and take a look at the running applications list? Uncheck some apps you don't want to kill (such as Advanced Task Killer and some system apps) Tap the button 'Kill selected apps', it will kill all applications checked.
2. How to use it (for new users to do more)?
If you don't want to kill any application, you can tap it on the running applications list. Then it's checking box will turn to gray.
3. Why there are programs running that I haven't used or even opened?
Some applications will start up once you turn on your phone or be invoked by some events.
4. What is ignore list/ignore?
Ignore list is for you to ignore some applications you don't want to kill. If you long press on the application listed on the main screen of ATK, the menu will pop up, then you can select 'Ignore', the application would be moved to ignore list. When you tap 'Kill selected apps', it won't be killed any more.
5. What is default action for long press?
You can set your default action for long press and click on the settings. The system default action for long press is pop-menu. That means you when you long press on the application(displays on the running applications list), a pop-menu would shows up. For example, if you want to switch to the application after you long press on it, you can set the default action of long press to 'Switch to'.
6. Why I lost my network connection after I tap 'kill selected apps'?
This is because some apps related with network connection are killed. Such as 'voicemail'. You can ignore it instead of killing it.
7. Why my Home reloaded?
This is because some apps related with Home are killed. Such as 'HTC Sense', 'Mail'(if it is integrated with Home). You can ignore it instead of killing it.
8. Why I cannot receive notification of Email?
This is because you killed 'Email'. Instead of killing it, you need to ignore it.
9. What is Auto Kill?
If you want to kill apps automatically you need to choose one of auto-kill level
- Safe: Only kill the apps aren't running but still consume memory.
- Aggressive: Kill the apps running background and apps aren't running.
- Crazy: All apps except for apps you are using with.
You should be able to see Auto Kill information shows on the title, like 'Auto-Kill: 12:20'. That means auto kill will start at 12:20, you can also change the frequency to impact the auto kill start time.
Note: For android 2.2 and later version, task manager cannot kill services and front apps, you have to force stop them. If you use task manager to kill them, services might restart, also notification won't be ereased from the top bar. So we don't suggest people use task manager kill them.

Ive had it on all my phones over the last 4-5 years. Now it doesnt seem to work with android 7.0. It comes up with a blank white screen. I've emailed the company 2 weeks ago but haven't heard a whisper. I paid for the pro version. Time to remove it.

Mike, Moto e running 5.1 Sony tablet S running 4.0.3 I have this installed and it's just great. It keeps shutting down all of those system hogging apps that auto start. I would really like to be able to choose a custom shut app interval, 10 minutes or 7 if I choose. I don't want to root my phone to control the apps using that method, so this app is very useful to me. Purchased with a Google Play gift card.

Used it SINCE I had android gingerbread on nexus S and did a great job. But with the latest android updates 7.0 to 7.1 its erroring too mmuch on memory- and battery use. I had to uninstall it from my N9 and the problem was solved. Still in use on my N6p but if android worked out the own memory and battery saver the taskiller becomes useluss.

Seems this doesn't work with Android 5.1.1 Lollipop. Anyone updated to this as of mid September 2015 will find this app useless now. Lollipop also sux, Android apps manger says apps are closed, but in fact are still running in the back ground. You may have notice your battery drains a lot faster as a result. Hopefully Marshmallow comes out soon and fixes this.

Recently quit having any apps in the kill list. May have started happening after taking a recent update from Sprint for the HTC One M9.

Apps no longer show up in the kill list in Android 5.0 or higher. Please fix as this is a paid app.

Please add custom auto kill level for each item. For instance, I don't mind if the camera is killed "crazy" level. Other items I might want to be less aggressive, but not ignore. Happy I paid for ad-free version AND that you ask for NO additional permissions. Congratulations on a great app! Write to me and I'll send you my original music mp3's free :-)
