I've got a large number of apps that seem to start up on their own and take up memory in the background. Amazon Shopping, GoogleMaps, Freshbooks (invoicing software), etc. all start up automatically and run in the background.
I don't want or need or even get push notifications from these apps, so I obviously don't want them to always be running.
If I want to run the app, I'll open it manually from the home screen. I want the app closed at all other times.
Short of uninstalling the app, is there something out there I can use to prevent apps from automatically starting and running in the background unless I explicitly open it from the home screen?
