App of the week: Advanced Task Killer

I LOVE to multitask on my Android phone, but often end up with loads of apps opened simultaneously because there's no quit function for many apps. This makes the handset lag at times, and also saps its battery life. Enter Advanced Task Killer. Free from the Android market, this app allows you to quit many apps at the same time easily and quickly.

Advanced Task Killer has an easy-to-use interface. Simply select all the apps you want to close and press the "kill selected apps" button to quit them all. It also allows you to control settings such as the "Auto Kill Level". You can disable it or choose from three modes: "Safe" (kill only apps that aren't running but are consuming memory), "Aggressive" (quit apps running in the background and those that aren't running) or "Crazy" (close all apps except those you are using).
