Updated to work with the iPhone 5s and 64-bit ARM CPU. Requires iOS 7. (Still works with 32-bit CPUs like iPhone 4, 4S, 5).

The MemoryInfo (TM) app shows how much memory is available and the types of memory on your iPhone or iPod Touch.
It also shows your current battery level in percent.

The iPhone and iPod Touch comes with 128MB of runtime memory while the iPhone 3GS comes with 256MB of runtime memory. The iPhone 4 has 512MB of RAM. That is different from the 8GB, 16GB or 32GB of storage memory that the iPhone or iPod Touch has. The iPhone and iPod Touch does not use the storage memory as virtual memory, so the memory available for applications is limited to the 128-512MB of runtime memory.

Memory types:

Free memory
This memory is not being used currently

Wired memory
This information cant be moved to disk, so it must stay in RAM. The amount depends on the applications you are using.

Active memory
This information is currently in RAM and has recently been used.

Inactive memory
This information has not recently been used but will remain in RAM until another application needs more memory but no free memory is available. If called upon by a process, this is quickly changed to Active memory; if it has been swapped to the hard disk, it will be moved back to RAM and marked as Active.

Page ins / Page outs
"Page ins/outs" refers to the amount of information moved between RAM and the hard disk. This number is cumulative amount of data that iPhone OS has moved between RAM and disk space.

Pros and cons of MemoryInfo app for iPhone and iPad

MemoryInfo app good for

Happy to havé a new update for support ios4. Is There any more update for 3GS to freed more than 100mo

This app does exactly what it advertises i went from 3mb on my itouch to 41 mb its much better than free memory 1.4 the only problem is that it mutes my music if i open this app and free memory but oh well its well worth it

This is the one app that is absolutely essential for the many memory hungry apps I use.

This app is perfect. This is the first battery level app that Ive seen for the iPod touch. 1 dollar is a great price!! Buy it!!

4 stars for one reason--- its sooooooo ugly to look at Otherwise, quite accurate (nearest %) I dont understand why the app crashes when u hit the home button

Love it! Works on iOS 7 and helps a lot with stability and speed! Thanks!

Some bad moments

Such a waste of money. After I supposedly cleared up the memory, safari crashed like 30 seconds into loading a page. Garbage app made by a garbage company. Yeah, I saw your other crappier app for sale too. Make something that works or make it free.

After i use this app, my phone gets slower and somehow muted.... i cant even hear phone rings, and listen my mp3...

Ok, this thing looked promissing, but it crashed every single time i used it, and when i would start it up again it would show that my free memory increased by only 2mb, maybe im using it wrong!!!!

This app only displays how much RAM you have, no functions to it what so ever!! Pointless app. WTF?! Rating for this app is "no stars".....

Version 1.0 actually did what I bought the app for! Now with version 1.2 you can actually free memory! Probably something new in the app store terms, I agree with not having flash but this I going to far...

I bought the app to "free memory" and thats what it did just fine for a long time. Now with the most recent update all it does is TELL you how much memory you have and doesnt let you free memory anymore. WTF? Dont waste your buck.
