Don't install Clean Master. It along with Battery Doctor, are the 2 worst offending Android apps on the planet.
Task killers and the like are nothing more than data mining apps appearing as if they do something. They don't because they take advantage of the general user's lack of knowledge of Android. Android does a wonderful job of task managing these days and there is no need for these apps. I proved it myself too by having to do a factory reset on my Galaxy Tab S and not reinstalling Clean Master. Did I miss it? Nope. Clean Master lies about the stats by taking hibernated apps and bringing them out and using that data. When you minimize an app, Android puts it in hibernate state. It leaves a small foot print for the app to be woken up when you go back to it. If you leave it hibernated long enough, Android caches the app into a tiny file so it can grab when you go back to it so it doesn't take so long to start it back up. All of this is transparent to the user. What Clean Master does is wake up these hibernated/cached apps and calculates how much memory they would take if in their wake state and then kills them making it look like they miraculously saved you all this memory. Problem is, they use so much power to do that, they suck more power than just leaving them in their hibernated/cached state. Worse, when you do want to use that app later, it has to do a full restart of the app. Keep in mind, apps are small because they use other apps to do some of their work. So Clean Master goes and kills those too because your apps had ties to those others apps. Long term, your phone actually slows down and the battery doesn't last as long.
Storage Manager sounds like a great app, but it uses a portion of the Clean Master code and no one know what that means. That link above explains a few other links that have developers actually write apps that do nothing but what they should do.
Here's my advice if you don't want to read all this. Search the store for apps like Clean Master and read what the app accesses. If it accesses contacts, location, etc. don't install it. An app monitor should never, ever need a data/wi-fi connection or your location or your facebook friends list or anything social. Good luck!
