I was about to buy a new FireTV stick on prime day and I stumbled across your video. It worked. money saved !

[@GeraldWilhelmBradenComposer]

I usually open my apps from my Settings "Installed Apps" instead of from the Home screen on my Firestick. This way, when I'm done watching any content from an app, I just press back on my remote, and it goes back to the app. Then I clean the cache and click on Force Stop. This makes it much easier to keep tract of what apps you have used, and keeping them turned off when not in use.

[@CuriosityCafe]

Great tip! Thanks for sharing

[@arleneruiz9940]

18 open apps 😮 thanks so much for this video .

[@dave_mac]

I had 2 running. I've never streamed anything from my 4k max. They never have the new stuff I want for free. Main thing is Jurassic World: Dominion and live nfl football games and live cable shows.

[@barbzombie]

I had 13. I would usually force stop anyway then clear cache occasionally. But I like that the background app shows exactly which apps are open at any given time. So glad I found your channel I've learned so much in the 4 years of having the stick and continue to learn.

[@redrider9224]

Thank you for sharing this! I had 50 apps running. Some I know I haven’t used in several weeks. The odd thing is I’m pretty sure I had manually closed a lot of these apps, but they still showed up running. Closed all of them up using this app and my firestick is running waaaay better! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@RSV9]

That is new for me, I did not know that even restating or turning off the ftv, the applications did not close. 🤔 Thanks

[@danielleperry1214]

Wow I had 22 apps open, and I had no idea they were open.. Thanks for sharing this video ❤️

[@richl6725]

Thank you for the new app killer. I had 15 apps open and closed them all. Great addition. Everyone should get it.

[@joerico9461]

While you're hitting Force stop why don't you clear cache while you're right there

[@CuriosityCafe]

If you are watching a video about storage issues, I would say go ahead and do it. But this is a video about speeding up your firestick. Clearing cache (unless you have a storage problem) will actually slow down your stick. The whole purpose of cache is to speed up processes.

[@darrinchambers5580]

I only had 4 running. But I'm glad you brought that up. Thank you.

[@CuriosityCafe]

Well done!

[@gr8ride411]

Great info! Damn, I found 18 apps open after running this program.👍🏽 Thx!

[@RobFuz]

GREAT TIP as always! Thanks !!! I had 15 open!

[@Mr.Tibbles]

I had about 170 apps open. Bruh. My firestick is lightning fast now. Dude.

[@johnmartis6407]

[@cedrickgrace4676]

[@joehill1187]

Worked awesome. Thanks so much for that info

[@jjones1914]

I had 13 running. Thanks for tips!!!

[@Jabulebda]

This was very helpful..Thank you for effort 👌.

[@dougiebhoy2399]

I also closed some of the system/user apps like amazon store, prime video and etc. could you do a video on what others you can close in the menu?

[@commom1]

Wow, I had 27 open. Thx for your super helpful video!👍🏻

[@porkchop41]

I had 17 running. Of those, I only use one regularly.

[@ctharp21]

I had 20 apps running. Seemed to help.

[@claytonpratt5194]

[@andrewalgera385]

Thank you very much for teaching us something new each time you're on I haven't used it but I will download it now thank you again because you are really helpful to all of us that have a fire stick thank you keep up the good work

[@andrewalgera385]

I just opened in the app last night and I only had three open but thank you very much the app was complicated at first but I figured it out

[@frankm.2082]

Thank you, for making it so easy to use the firestick.

[@lindasimmons3390]

I only had 7 running in background.

[@paularthur8055]

13 apps open, one Amazon Multimodal SmartHome won't close, is that normal? Thanks!

[@CuriosityCafe]

Which model firestick do you have?

[@williamgordon7071]

I had 22 apps running and closed them all but then I clicked on another button and it said I had 223 System Apps open in background. What's up with that? Keep up the good work. I listen to you several times a week,

[@glennhallerman9105]

17 apps running on my Cube.

[@kg4wrq]

I had 27. My Silk Browser was almost useless on some websites. After closing the apps, Silk is now running as smooth as....silk. Thanks!

[@shannoncaissie5186]

I cant even get to the preferences because every time I turn on Firestick, it automatically goes to Amazon Prime. So frustrating

[@CuriosityCafe]

This is actually an easy fix. Reach out on patreon if you need us to walk you through it

[@paul7600ca]

I had about 20 apps open. I already had this app (Backgroud app..), but I didn't even know how to use it! Thanks!

[@jerrywooten5631]

Had 24 thanks I needed to know that

[@dsmith6404]

It seems like the only problem I have is with Frndly TV buffering all the time. Please can you help me with this issue?

[@CuriosityCafe]

I can't really help with that if that's the only thing buffering. It would be a source issue. Not much can be done. Maybe enjoy some other apps that are better than that one.

[@vincemorath676]

Thanks for the video.

[@josephdondey3625]

Hey my friend hope your well

[@russo3636]

Thanks so much man I appreciate these tips. It definitely made my fire stick quicker. The bootup was taking a long time.

[@aQuIL857]

Hey thanks, I had like 8 or 9 apps running in the background. Thing is I didn't count but that's what it looked like to me :)

[@elesixestepa373]

Only 11 apps opened but most I haven’t used since I setup the fire stick almost a year ago. Thanks for the education.

[@splender88]

Had 33 running but just turning off the autoplay increased the speed substantially.

[@sandragrowe3554]

I use this app all of the time.

[@johnhickey1326]

I have been using the background app for months its set to show first when I turn on my firestick so I can see what apps i need to force stop and clear catch before I start watching anything 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@calliope0113]

Need to install a VPN, which do you recommend, price and do the job..

[@CuriosityCafe]

ExpressVPN.com/curiositycafe - speed is most important with a vpn and this one is the fastest. Link will also save you $$

[@gregbeck3466]

I like your formats

[@splinter2804]

Good info bro..i does also take off the screen saver feature d amazon photo, d data monitoring feature, clear my cache every week n keep only apps that i really need (only 4) and my fire stick runs smooth all the time

[@steved7855]

Had 6 open including vpn

[@Quakes4R]

I turned off both audio and video autoplay but Netflix still auto plays. Do I need to do this in the Netflix settings?

[@CuriosityCafe]

Yes, you will need to do it in netflix settings.

[@vanessamccrea4430]

I had 17th open apps thanks

[@ginog5037]

Who knew 23 running, GREAT TIP very much appreciated!

[@ihc909]

[@lamarhall8294]

Wow I had 24 running

[@paulcunningham718]

One running and it's nice to watch the rewatch some of these videos cuz sometimes you just playing forget

[@mybking1]

That is an easy thing to forget about. You get busy doing things and don't think about shutting down your programs. Nice reminder. I had 18 open programs.

[@NINEMIL651-GAMETIMECLIPS]

Man I had 29 apps running

[@Mary-cz8pf]

I bought the fire cube. I absolutely love it. I was always running out of space. This seems to run better. It doesn't even buffer anymore. I have that app that coses them all. I always put it to sleep. Ihave 39 apps installed. My sister has a firestick but only watches KZbin tv and pluto. I have a cube in the living room and 27 apps on that one. I still empty the cache on all of them

[@markklinke2707]

:-0 8 OPEN APPS... now 🙂

[@nicholasj.michalkosr9113]

how come when i force stop, then clear cache, clear data the cache comes back to what i cleared.it goes to zero , then if i go to a different site, it comes back to what it originally had in cache.

[@CuriosityCafe]

Don't get the small kb that some apps require confused with mb... huge difference. Kb is like a grain of sand in a desert. Only worry about cache of MB

[@carlpowell1427]

Hi. I've got a background app and it's really good.

[@mj45532]

Thank you. Already running faster and smoother!

[@stephenportillo7954]
