"The combination of crash reports provided by the iPhone and System Activity Monitor helped me determine that I had an issue with contact syncing that caused my iPhone to drain with alarming rapidity." - http://www.macworld.com/article/1163200/troubleshoot_iphone4s_battery.html
"This App is similar to the Mac OS Activity Monitor in that it shows you in real time which apps or processes are running and more importantly which ones are running with high amounts of processor time. If you're not playing a game or doing something else that would task the processor then your device should be running with the majority of the processor count in "idle." If it's not, you can quickly identify which App or process is causing a problem.
I highly recommend System Activity Monitor as a troubleshooting tool!" - http://www.bestappsite.com/tag/system-activity-monitor/
"System Activity Monitor is simple and it works quite well, without any frills or flashy graphics." - http://www.appsafari.com/utilities/17457/activity-monitor-iphone-apps-useful-for-solving-iphone-4s-battery-life-issues/
"5 STARS!!! This the first rating I have ever given because this app gave me my IPAD back. it was crashing all the time until I purchased this app."
System Activity Monitor (TM). It's like the Activity Monitor on your Mac but for your iPhone.
You can view: - Runtime (RAM) memory usage - Storage (Disk) usage - All running processes (iOS 8 and earlier only) - CPU usage - WiFi and cellular IP addresses - Device information - Ping network information - Whois domain registration information
Memory types:
Free memory This memory is not being used currently
Wired memory This information can't be moved to disk, so it must stay in RAM. The amount depends on the applications you are using.
Active memory This information is currently in RAM and has recently been used.
Inactive memory This information has not recently been used but will remain in RAM until another application needs more memory but no free memory is available. If called upon by a process, this is quickly changed to Active memory; if it has been swapped to the hard disk, it will be moved back to RAM and marked as Active.
Page ins / Page outs "Page ins/outs" refers to the amount of information moved between RAM and the hard disk. This number is cumulative amount of data that iPhone OS has moved between RAM and disk space.

8 of 25This app used to free memory but pressing the free memory tab. Apple came along and banned all apps from freeing memory. The Dev removed the free memory button but when app launched, it took about 20 seconds to free up memory. Now I guess Apple caught on. No more freeing up memory. Too bad. Because this app was great. I never updated to the newer version. "Wink wink". Mine still works.
I reverted to using an older backup version when they removed the memory refresh feature, then I read the review that stated the memory issue was now fixed. Big mistake. This app is totally worthless - I'll be deleting this and reinstalling my old backup version that actually frees up memory.
Whole reason for buying this app was to see the process list and a rocket by process. Doesn't work on iOS 10. How do I get a r fund?
Apple has basically castrated what used to be an interesting and useful app. This thing just really doesn't do much anymore.
Since the update this app is garbage, doesn't do anything.
You can still Free Memory using the latest version (3.3) and iOS 10. Which is all I need it to do and it's what no other Memory app in the App Store actually does. And for the reviewer complaining that you can't see a list of processes anymore, that was Apple's decision. Since iOS 9. Not the developer. Read the description in the app first before you buy! Previous Review: I don't know what people are still complaining about. It works fine with iOS 9 on both my iPhone 6 & 6+. It does free memory. Which 3.1 didn't do. If people read the info on the update they would know Apple doesn't let apps display processes anymore. No apps do this. If you find any other apps that still can free memory you should post it in a review because I haven't. 2nd Previous Review: The latest version of the app not only doesn't free up memory but uses up all your remaining memory! The more you open up the app to free memory the more it uses up all your memory until there is next to none left. Had to uninstall. Luckily I was able to uninstall the latest update, then sync my iPhone with iTunes on my Mac. Then install the old version from a list of apps not currently installed. If you have already synced and you haven't emptied your trash then grab System3.0.ipa from the trash and replace the System3.1.ipa in the Mobile Applications folder. Sync Again. This folder is located inside your Macintosh HD/Users/Your User Name/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Mobile Applications. Ignore the Update Notification from the App Store for System Activity Monitor until they update to 3.2. You will have to manually update each app until then selecting Update All!
Does not list processes so it does all the things that the lite versions do. No need to buy it. Let my mistake keep you from yours! IPHONE 5c 10.2 14c92
I only bought this to try to determine which app was consuming my CPU making the phone hot and draining my battery. Screen says "Usage is unavailable in this OS version" and "Access to the processes list was removed in this OS version"
