We had an option to display an exit button that we removed in the last
update. With millions of users, only one person complained that it was
missing. I think the majority of users get the idea that the back key
backs the user out of the application.

What's wrong with the home button? It should quickly exit the app unless it
has something active that should continue like playing music in which case
there should be an ongoing notification to make the user aware of it,
preferably with a pause/stop button in the notification. I rarely press

An exit button is probably only necessary that has too many UI layers
(usually done with Intents) that require a number of back keys to exit.
Makes perfect sense to have one then. There is a problem too of leaving
too many apps open and running out of memory to run an app especially if

You're not supposed to exit Android apps period. At least not in the desktop
process centric meaning of exit. Works fine in most cases except for apps that
don't pause worker threads in onPause or abuse services, alarms and broadcast
receivers to stay alive or get restarted unnecessarily.

I've always found the result of pressing the Back key to be ambiguous at
best. In what I think was the original concept of Android apps, the idea
was that it would take you back to an earlier app in the stack of active
apps in a logical way. For example, my app displays the names of locations

I originally didn't allow an exit with the Back key, forcing users to use
