Idle apps in memory use less battery, in the long run, than constantly closing and reopening them. That's why Android, designed as a battery operated operating system, keeps them in memory in the first place. Same concept as not turning off your car at every stop sign.

If the app refuses to idle and there is no menu option to close it, it should be force closed and then uninstalled.




Anecdotal evidence is not really helpful.

You don't get 3 days of battery life. You get three days of use out of the same physically limited hours of battery life we all share. If you want to spend those hours of battery life turning on and off WiFi and manually closing apps, it's your business I guess. I prefer to spend it reading and browsing the web.
Well said, glad some people know what they are talking about, rather than throwing guesses around.
