Smart Memory Booster is a Rich Android System Optimizer

Smart Memory Booster Is a rich Android System Optimizer that tries to offer its users the maximum available memory resources to work with by terminating all such background apps, processes and tasks that are unnecessarily consuming memory. Optimization with this particular app can be performed at five different levels, ranging from gentlest (mild) to craziest (forced app termination). However, the most remarkable aspect of Smart Memory Booster remains its four different ways to boost memory. These include a notification panel toggle, a home screen widget, a floating widget, and rule-based automated optimization. 



The app’s home screen sports a large memory usage meter depicting the current consumption of RAM in MB and percentage. This is where we get our first of the four available 1-tap modes of memory boosting. Tapping the large Boost button present in the middle of screen clears a considerable amount of system memory. The button at the bottom-left can be tapped to view currently running apps and terminate unwanted ones. Using various filters on offer, you can list out running services, visible tasks, as well as apps running in the foreground or background. The button at the bottom-right is meant to allow clearing the entire system cache with a tap. Don’t want a particular app/task to be killed during optimization? Just tap Menu > Ignore list to define your whitelist.



From the app’s main settings screen, you can play around with several key options. For instance, it is from here that you can select your preferred Boost Level. From the same screen, you may enable the floating widget, complete with desired auto-refresh interval, report style (quick toast, slow toast), screen position, transparency level and size. In addition, you have the option to enable and modify the home screen and/or the notification panel widget’s layout and behavior. Among other options, the app lets you set the haptic feedback behavior for whenever you perform a memory boost, and specify the number of recent apps that you don’t want killed during optimization.

The app’s has a  automated RAM optimization feature. In this regard, you can set the app to perform a memory boost each time the screen is turned off. In case you opt to avail this option, you have the choice of setting the preferred time delay (in seconds) before the operation is carried out. Should you wish to proceed with the app’s automatic boost feature, you can allocate a certain memory threshold (in MBs). If memory consumption passes this threshold, the app will automatically initiate the optimization process. Furthermore, you have control over specifying the boost interval between two consecutive optimization instances, and can also set the app to report in multiple ways each time a memory boost is performed.



In light of all aforementioned features, there is no doubt in putting Smart Memory Booster right up there along with some of the most customizable and effective Android memory optimization apps available in the market. The fact that is free and without ads only serves as icing on the cake.

Official Android App Of VPN Service TunnelBear Now Available In Play Store


The official Android app of popular VPN service, TunnelBear, has just been released to the Google Play Store. Initially available for Windows and Mac only, TunnelBear now allows Android users to privately browse the internet on their mobile devices with complete freedom. With this free app running on your device, you no longer have to worry about not being able to access location-restricted websites or services, such as Facebook, YouTube, Hulu, Spotify, Netflix and Pandora. Unlike most Android VPN tools, TunnelBear works on both rooted and non-rooted devices, and more importantly, can be downloaded and used without paying a dime. Apart from its overall effectiveness, the app’s interface is praiseworthy, since it’s both intuitive as well as quite simple to use. If you’ve ever used TunnelBear on desktop, you won’t have much trouble using its mobile counterpart. Once activated, the app’s services can be monitored and toggled from anywhere within the entire OS through the TunnelBear notification panel widget.



In order to get started, you are required to log in to the app using your TunnelBear account. First time users have the option to sign up for a new account for free right from within the app. Each registered user gets a maximum of 500MB of free data per month. However, as has been the case with TunnelBear for quite some time now, you can avail the service’s 1GB Twitter Promo offer to receive an additional 1GB of free data per month. Subscribing to the offer is quite simple, and can be done from within the mobile app. All you need to do is send a Tweet to @TheTunnelBear requesting the service for your share of additional data. You should receive the good news within the next 60 minutes.
The app’s main UI comprises an animated bear that depicts the state of the service, an interactive data meter keeping you apprised of your monthly data consumption, an on/off toggle for the VPN and one for switching between its US and UK servers. Above the aforementioned Twitter promo offer, you’ll find the option to upgrade to one of the services premium plans. You have 1-month, 3-months and 1-year reasonably priced at $2.99, $7.99 and $29.99 respectively.

Once activated, the app keeps running in the background, allowing you to privately and unobtrusively surf the internet. Through a persistent notification, the app keeps you informed about the server that you’re currently connected to. Tapping this notification takes you to another screen from where you can keep a close eye on the session details in terms of duration and sent/received data. Also, from the same screen, you can disconnect from the VPN and head over to the app’s configuration menu.
Now for anticlimax; TunnelBear is currently meant to run on Android 4.0 or higher devices only. Also, please be informed that TunnelBear might not allow access to certain region-restricted Android apps and Play Store services.
