UGG! Android Apps Always Need An Exit Button Or Option

Hey, now I can turn this up again. Look at my finger. Look at my finger. Sorry. I have a little rant about Android apps. I don’t know if it’s the same for Apple stuff. I understand that there’s some technical reasoning behind it. But could you, for the sake of all that is awesome in this world, please, no matter how fancy you think your app is, put an exit button or menu item or setting item in there somewhere? I don’t care if Google’s automatically supposed to kill everything. It don’t happen sometimes.

I have Stitcher installed on my phone right now and I know they’re probably fixing this but no matter what I cannot end it. I use ES Task Killer. I go in there and pause everything, exit out, swipe it off, turn off my phone. I’ve turned off my phone, turned it back on and the dang thing loaded again.

I don’t know what’s going on. I know it doesn’t make that big of a deal other than draining my battery and what not. But then there’s the little lack of control of this thing that’s in my pocket touching my skin. So close. It’s something I should be able to do whatever I want to with it. But yet I cannot get that feeling of closure and exit out of some of those apps.

So please. Calling out to rest of the world. If you have the same kind of feeling, probably milder of course, the next time you leave a review for an app or something tell those people. Give them five stars if they deserve it. But tell those people to please put an exit function, a quit, a close this thing, an X, I don’t care. Just give me a way to feel like I’m getting out. Other than just back. Ugh. Maybe I’m just old and I’m not used to that being the only way. But that closure is nice. Rant out.
