I downloaded the system monitor app based on the press it got and reviews and really I am not too impressed. I mean, this app really doesn't do anything but spit out data. I was hoping for something that actually improved performance without me having to do anything. I am also confused now more than ever by the impact of keeping apps open. I always thought it really didn't affect anything but it is obvious from the app that it uses a ton of memory. The kicker is I really don't see a performance difference when I kill all my apps, which you should actually be able to do inside this app as well, but you can't. At what point are you gonna run out of memory, it maxes out when I open 10 apps, but if I leave open all 175 app it stays at the same place which tells me leaving the apps open don't really do anything.
What is also puzzling me is the functionality of the battery tab ... I mean, I could just turn on the setting to show battery percentage if that is what I wanted to see. What impact does adjusting the health and low battery sliders have anyway, I can't figure it out. Also, why not also say time remaining instead of just time to charge. That would be more useful to me.
Lastly a tutorial for the layman would be helpful i.e. CPU load? What the hell does this even mean and what impact does it have on the phone. The last tab is completely useless and provides nothing that the everyday user would actually care about?
