Why does my App icon always have a red 1?

[iMore Question]

why does my App icon always have a red 1?

I close all my open windows when I turn off the phone or when I am done with the window, yet when I turn the phone (4s) back on, I still have the red 1 and open windows. How can I fix it?

Do you have an application that needs updated?
