App Description

AppSwitch - The missing app that should have been in the box!

Critical acclaims for AppSwitch:
"iOS 4 brought us multitasking, but there's no way to tell what's running in the background versus what's the app you last used. This app solves that problem and more!"

"Great app! The Console feature helped me narrow down MobileMe as the trigger to those random reboots on my iPhone!"
