Useless. Android can do exactly this since a few versions now. The battery this application will use will be more than what it will save.

I agree. I've tried a few of these sorts of programs and I've seen no improvement in battery life at all. As you say Android does a pretty good job itself.

Off topic but in my experience the same goes for Android cleaning programs. Whereas I think something like CCleaner can benefit Windows systems, with Android I think you're better off just manually clearing the cache now and then if you feel the need.

Exactly.

What we are witnessing all the more is the age old practice of some name brands jumping on the bandwagon so-to-speak to swing a few more over to their side of attention.

And as you point out, at least for those who are more familiar with their handset's O/S, for android other methods are available in the raw.

If you really want to know what's going on behind the scenes, Better Battery Stats is one if the best. But, for non-rooted devices, you need to add a permission via adb, to get the most out of it. It's in playstore, and the developer thread is at xda developer's website, forums. There you can find instructions to add a permission that lets the app monitor wake locks, partial wake locks, and more. (For older os, the app didn't need manually added permission. Only newer OS need it, because Google removed it, for security reasons. Too many app were asking for more than they needed, thus hurting the good ones)

GSam battery monitor is another really good monitor, and, has instructions to add similar permission for added functions.

• Favorite Apps - exclude your screen dimmer or network monitor from being terminated
  
• Widget - one-click tap to run
  
• Accessibility needed for self-starting apps
• Better than competing apps from Avast and AVG which are Ad-filled.

I'm not using this nor intend to install this.

I already have Greenify.

In fairness, though, Kaspersky's isn't a typical task killer app. Instead, it notifies and lets the user decide what to do with the hogger apps.

Great app, thanks for sharing! Aforementioned by our friend @XhenEd this ain't the typical task killer like CM apps that drains the battery and won't help. Seems to be, so far, an easy small but efficient app. "Thumbs app" for Kaspersky!
