Android app of the day: Startup Auditor

If your Android device is taking a long time to boot up it’s probably because there are too many apps in the system startup, and it takes a lot of time for all of them to load. The Startup Auditor app will help you disable apps that get loaded automatically when the system boots up, unless you specifically decide that they should.

This app is free on the Android Market and requires Android 1.5 or up. This app also has a paid version, which is available for USD 0.99; it’s ad free and lets you disable an unlimited amount of apps.

On opening the app, it automatically lists all the apps that initialize at startup. You can choose which apps to enable or disable.

You can disable each app individually, or disable all the apps at once. Some apps which are disabled in the startup may automatically start up themselves later, so the app gives you the option to keep them disabled even after the startup.



If you are not sure about disabling a particular app, just tap on the app name and it will give you complete information about the app, and then you can decide whether to disable it if you think it isn’t necessary for it to start up with the system boots up.

A few days back we reviewed a similar app called the Startup Manager. The Startup Manager app only helps you disable apps at the startup, whereas the Startup Auditor gives you the option of keeping unnecessary apps from starting on their own and running in the background even after the start up, thus reducing the chances of slowing down your Android device.

This is a simple but handy task killer app which spares you the unnecessary trouble of killing apps after the system has booted, and also helps in reducing the booting time of your device.
