Why do my apps restart after turning on super optimize on the battery doctor?

[AC Question]

I turn on the super optimize to keep apps from restarting as the app states, yet within an hour all the apps that were supposed to have been killed, reappear.

Here I am with the very same question...

Welcome to Android Central.

That is the way that Android works. If you install so-called optimising apps, you will force the OS to restart apps that are killed, repeatedly, to the detriment of your battery.

So, if "that's the way Android works" do you recommend discarding the app??

Welcome to Android Central! Yes, we would recommend uninstalling the app. Assuming you don't have an ancient version of Android, you should let the system manage RAM on its own. Android prefers RAM to be mostly full of open apps, which allows the user to open or switch apps quickly and efficiently. If you have an app that is constantly force-closing apps, the system will just reopen them, and this will set up an endless cycle of close-open-close-open that will use up battery.
