  11. The App Closing Controversy View and Kill Running Apps What Apple says about it “Multitasking in iOS allows you to switch instantly between apps and to resume an app. When you return to an app, you can pick up right where you left off. Multitasking doesn't slow down the performance of the foreground app or drain battery life unnecessarily.” • Double click the home button • Tap and hold an app icon until they all dance and have the minus sign • Tap the minus sign to close the app • WHY? Some folks swear that open apps drain the battery and can cause the iPad to run slower
