Sad to see the majority of my favorite apps use large heap. This app makes it very easy to find those culprit apps and either disable or uninstall them. The Dev is is very receptive to ways to improve the app and very quick to update.

It needs to be able to show how much RAM it (each app) is/will use. That would make it a 5 Star app.

I dont understand how to use it. It just looks like it's listing all my apps.

It detects the heap.. But please introduce a way to reduce it... Or so..

Just because the apps you're using are bad doesn't mean you should give this one a bad rating.

About this app

A simple utility that shows you which app developers have declared

android:largeHeap="true"

Applications that request Large Heap in the manifest are typically reducing user experience on the device. Per the developer docs:

"Most apps should not need this and should instead focus on reducing their overall memory usage for improved performance."

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/application-element.html#largeHeap

Android will terminate other apps' processes to free up system RAM for use by the large heap. This will result in slower multitasking and response times for your device

"…the ability to request a large heap is intended only for a small set of apps that can justify the need to consume more RAM (such as a large photo editing app). Never request a large heap simply because you've run out of memory and you need a quick fix"
