About ForceStopChain

*Description*

This is a simple application program that sequentially calls setting activity which is enabled "Force Stop" button. This program can close the task and release memory.
You can choose target apps since version 1.1.0, and you can check only working apps at setting menu since version 1.1.2!
This app supported Android 4.2 on version 1.1.1.
Since it was impossible to have used the old method, the alternative method was introduced.
When the application was hit but cannot push "force stop button", please skip by the BACK key in that case.

this app used to work in my Moto E 2years back. Then I bought yureka plus (5.0, cyanogen) and now MI note 3. Force stop chain does not work on either of them. really upset about this.

Two bugs. sometimes1) showing already stopped app 2) Not showing marked app. Need to go app manager n force stop. It could be better if it jumps automatically to next app when we force stop a app. Now we have to press back every time. GREENIFY APP HAS AUTO FORCESTOP. WHY CAN'T YOU

by C####:

Very nice, doesn't need any permissions. The only thing missing is as others have noted is a one button 'kill' switch. Compatible with varying versions of Android on my 3 phone/devices.

Not a bad app but if it can one hit auto force stop selected apps.. I would rate 5 stars or even buy it

Running this one app once in a while, is way better than most of the task killers out there!

如果可以提供一次停止所選取檔案的按鈕會更方便與完美,謝謝!這是不錯的應用程式。If it can provide the auto click, it will be perfect. Thank you so much.

Some of the App are not detected, such as the HK weather app from the official Hong Kong observatory. Please fix. Thanks!

If you want an app for Force Stop.. No one can do better than this guys. Thanks man

This is an ACTUAL task killer that closes the spp using the phone's app settings, so they close and stay closed. The 5th star will come when they figure out how to do a 1 click closed all feature.

by C####:

It is very good but detects only a few running applications to be stopped. If it worked then i would like to buy it.

This app can Force Stop few apps

S70%

Needs option to kill all selected apps with one button. Why do we have to manually stop everyone in the selected list????

This is exactly what l want, thank you very much for this app.

by L####:

When I run it the 1st time, stop those then I have to wait a minute or so and run it again to get the rest of the apps. It's pretty good. The English is understandable, just short and choppy. Gets the message across regardless.

Only one click

I'm happy to see FSC back on Play Store! Please add option to only prompt to stop apps that are using more than 100MB of RAM. Thank you.

Z70%
by Z####:

This app does what it is meant to do. But doing the same thing for all open apps is tiresome. 5 stars if you add the option to force stop all the running apps in a single click.

Z70%
by Z####:

It might work, but the English makes no sense. What does "You can't back this operation!!" mean ?. It sounds scary, so I'm not going to test it until it's explained to me in English. Could really do with the ability to add apps to the list from a list of currently running apps because going through 400+ apps when only a few are running is more time consuming than doing it manually from a task manager list.

Great but would love a 1 touch auto force stop for all apps. Like greenify

W70%
by W####:

The only solution for no root devices! All other task killers are a pathetic joke and makes things worse by interfering with android memory management.

M70%
by M####:

Good app for force stop apps....realy nice. Easy way to force stop apps. ..too good.

Z70%
by Z####:

Not including downloaded apps in the chain of apps to be force stoped. Have to manually search for them and force stop them.

Z70%
by Z####:

The only killer that works - a one touch button would be nice?

U70%
by U####:

What is this crap? I've already tick all the third party apps, and press start to force stop it, and what happen? IT DOESN'T DO IT'S JOB!!!

Force Stops all the applications, but this runs in the background.

U70%
by U####:

It is very cool, good concept. I will try it out and then review again.???

X70%
by X####:

It's the shoes used to actually go into settings and stop the apps completely. Unlike most other task killers this app actually stops the apps from restarting after being killed. Facebook can finally RIP!

U70%
by U####:

Thumbs up. Works on Lollipop too.

V70%
by V####:

Does what it says. This small (100kB) app without unnecessary permissions scans a list of user specified apps and offers the default 'force stop' button if available. Nothing else. Perfect! If you don't want to mess with Android's memory management but stop some CPU-hogging apps more easily this is for you. Update: Sadly it's too unreliable for daily use; it doesn't detect running apps every time and is nearly useless to me as it is now. Maybe I'll try a future update.

L70%
by L####:

Auto searches but we have to manual force stop one by one. An option to add is skip an app that is checked to stop.

It is a very good app... Bt ll become best when it do the job itself ;) intead of showing to force stop ... Please do somethng and make it automatic .... Thanqq :)

Please can u make this app compatible with Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.X. That would be great....Thank You!

S70%
by S####:

I think the app is geat but what I think really should be added to it is there should be a list of all apps that you can put check marks by and have a auto kill option for them pesky apps so the die off in the backround and let the important system apps run. I say that because this app is more effective then all task killer apps I hope someone is reading this & will take my suggestion and try to run with it till then 4 stars thanks.
