What is the best task killer app for ICS?

[ianlin]

There are quite a few available at Google Play. I am wondering which one is the best one for ICS?

Someone else can explain why, but there is no need for a task killer on our phones; using Smart Actions is the way to go.

This will start a discussion ... some will say don't use them, some will say use them. There is lots of discussion about task killers, and if they actually do any good or not, or if they just eat battery. Just my own personal preference, I don't use them. But someone who does use them can weigh in and recommend whichever one they use.

Welcome to the forum!

Here's a link to a discussion on this very topic from when I asked:

Some very good points in there.

The OS itself. Most of us are not smarter than it or the engineers who wrote the code. Whenever we try to outguess what the OS wants or doesn't want at a given time, unintended consequences usually result. Just let the OS do it's thing.... both you and your phone will be happier in the long run.

Is there any difference between this method and using the "disable" function built into ICS?

No... just allows you to disable more than just the ones in app manager that have a disable option
