Tap on the X icon on the app's card, or swipe upwards on the app's card.

There is already an app called Kirikae that does everything that Multifl0w does better and you can terminate apps aswell. Only other difference is the fancy screenshots.

Yep, god deal man. The force quit and then the relaunch resolved the issue. Thanks. Not too big of a deal, just wonder why that issue is affecting some and not all users. It seems the process flow should, for the most part, be the same on all phones. The ones that it's working on it seems must have multiflow launching before the mail.app launches, thus letting it recognize it needs a screenshot. Hmmm…. I assume i'll have to do this with every respring or boot, but at least I know the fix. Hope it's temporary.

I have read other posts about the Mail.app issue. Apparently Multifl0w needs a cue of sorts to tell it to take a screenshot of the app. Since Mail.app is already backgrounded before Multifl0w starts if you have push enabled, it's not able to grab the screenshot. One post I saw just said you need to open the Mail.app and it will grab the screenshot. Another said you need to force quit Mail.app, then re-open it. YMMV

Glad you're loving this one too. Sorry to say that may just be you on the Mail app – mine shows just like other apps, in fact shows Inbox contents quite well.

Now this is what i'm talking about!!!! Loving it. I saw the preview video and was waiting for release. I scooped it up last night (though I hate the fact it's not in cydia and only in the rock app!). And since then, I've had all my favorite apps running continuously(Newstand, facebook, CBSsports mobile, scrabble, mail, ipod) without a hitch, and have enjoyed just playing around jumping from app to app. And like you said Patrick, I haven't noticed any significant battery hit at all, which makes me even happier! Now let me ask you PJ, is it just me or does your mail.app only show the word mail and not a screencap?
Tho only improvements I can suggest right now are the same shared by others: 1) A favorites section where u can launch apps, and 2) A way to force quit a running app.
And actually those are very minor to me, and aren't gripes at all. I believe this launch version was a very succesful starting point for a very powerful extension. Also I'll make a suggestion to you other multifl0w users. A lot of people have been talking about using sbsettings' process tab to quit their running apps. My personal opinion is that it's a little quicker and natural feeling to just switch to the running app I want to quit using multifl0w, and just hold home to disable backgrounding, thus closing the app and killing the process. Just feels a little smoother to me…
Happy fl0wing peeps!

A big red X on the corner of the apps as you scroll past them, and then they disappear would do the trick.

Another thing Kirikae has is a favourites page. It has never worked properly for me (crashing springboard) however it would be good to have that feature as well.

For 2-3 folders the font size will change to a smaller text compared to the rest of the folders. I checked under settings to see if there was something to change the font size & there was not…. Any advice?

Looks like our tweets made a difference. Apparently he's going to ask Saurik to host it on Cydia after all. Maybe wait until he actually does before updating the post again. 🙂

Agree – that's a bad call. I'm not the world's biggest Cydia fan, but it is the leading jailbreak store and it needs to be in there. I'm updating the post now to cover the Cydia part.

Oh, I understood you weren't suggesting the app was not worthwhile for anyone at its current price – but just stating that it didn't seem good value to you. I'm a lousy guesser – more hints needed, or just the answer.
I would love to see more ways to call it as well, and the way you suggest is fine by me as long as it plays nice with SBS. I'd prefer a screen gesture to invoke it, as I'd rather not be pounding away on the home button all day long.

Hopefully you have a 3GS and not a 3G if planning on multitasking with Navigon. There's really just not enough RAM on the 3G to have this work reliably (really almost not at all). Facebook is also somewhat of a memory hog which tends to kill other backgrounded apps when running for a while (as per the OS behavior). Otherwise, it works great for most other apps.

Poor choice in my opinion. I think it's a mistake to not give users a choice. I'm not the only person to refuse to use RYP. Maybe there are too few of us now to matter, though.

I wasn't trying to imply that nobody should buy the app. You know me and how I always give my opinion without sugar coating things. Or maybe you don't. Forgot I finally signed up with Intense Debate. Can you guess who I am? 😉

Anyway, if it's worth it to you all, by all means please support the dev. I'm hoping he does get enough purchases to make it worth his time to improve the app. It's just my opinion that it's lacking in those two features to be worth making the switch. I'd love it even more if he added more ways to call it. I would buy this in an instant if I could swipe down from the status bar to see a scrollable view of running apps with their screenshots, have 4 or 5 icons along the bottom to launch frequently used apps that aren't already running (with badges), and swipe the screenshots up or down to close them.

Yes. Backgrounder does all that. Multifl0w just gives you a pretty way to switch between them.
