Greenify
But because people like to install multiple apps on their phones, it might cause their devices to slow down and underperform. Fortunately, there's an app that can help you with that. Greenify places battery-hungry apps into hibernation, so they would stop taking up resources on your phone.
Easy-to-use interface with some tips
Many applications come with a tutorial featuring a presentation of all the tools that you can find inside the app, but some don't come with any sort of instructions. Greenify only has some tips, but that's mainly for reducing the total size of the app and making sure that it doesn't take up too much space on your device.
The app has material design, but it lacks the side menu that could offer access to all sort of features inside the app. It doesn't need phones to be rooted which is quite nice, as it makes the app available to more users.
Hibernate battery-draining apps
The all concept behind this app is quite interesting, it helps users identify and put misbehaving apps into hiberation when you're not using them. This prevents the respective apps from lagging your device and leeching the battery.
You'll need to explicitly launch the app so that it would work again. However, you should keep in mind that hibernation means that the app won't be able to display widget updates, push messages, perform periodic tasks or send any kind of notifications.
More features
Greenify displays all the applications that are running in the background, showing you a list of the apps that need the most resources. It shows you the size of apps and the total running time. It also has a section with apps that automatically take over your connection when internet is available.
These can be some of the most annoying apps since they display lots of notifications and make your phone slow down exactly when you need it the most. Fortunately, you can use Greenify to identify these apps and place them into hibernation to boost your phone.
However, the most demanding applications are instant messaging and email ones, that need to constantly access the internet and check for new messages. Keep in mind that if you hibernate these apps, they might misbehave and you might miss some important texts or emails.
