BeAlert is a new application by BeSoft, that allows you to visually keep track of your currently running applications. It puts an icon (with counter) in the notification banner of your screen, ensuring you always know just how many apps are running at once. The counter will not include apps that are necessary to run your device, such as the phone application and messaging app. You can also exclude any apps that you find to be necessary for you, from this counter. Overall, BeAlert is a nice little app to keep track of your running apps. It acts as a reminder to shutdown those unnecessary applications to save your precious battery life. It is on sale for $1.50 until April 16th for all devices running OS 4.6 and higher.
Contest: We have 50 copies of BeAlert to give away. Just leave a comment on this post to enter. Contest ends this Sunday at Midnight PST. Please only leave one comment, multiple entries wont count.
