Guest Paul Posted October 13, 2010 Report Posted October 13, 2010 Welcome to 'Paul's App of the Day', where I pick one of my favourite apps as featured app of the day! Today's app is... Watchdog What they sayTask killer stop working in 2.2 Froyo? Google doesn't like task killers. Developers hate them. Watchdog monitors your apps and alerts when one needs attention. See web page for an explanation of why it's OK to have lots of apps running and what "kill" truly means. Good for all versions of Android. What we say Stop killing your tasks manually (or indeed automatically)... just let Watchdog tell you when an application is misbehaving. It works great! :) Permissions INTERNET , READ_PHONE_STATE , RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED , RESTART_PACKAGES , VIBRATE , WAKE_LOCK Download View at AppBrain Direct Market Link (for on device)View on Android Market QRcode To use, install 'Barcode Scanner' from the Android Market.

Guest Yod-b Posted October 14, 2010 Report Posted October 14, 2010 yup, it's great. i'm not using any taskkillers, since its said to do more harm than good, but this one, i use it for a while now, and it's good. i had an app - andappstore - which usually misbehaved. so at the end i uninstalled it. others working ok :)
