The application has access to the following:
System tools
retrieve running applications
Allows application to retrieve information about currently and recently running tasks. May allow malicious applications to discover private information about other applications.
restart other applications
Allows an application to forcibly restart other applications.
reorder running applications
Allows an application to move tasks to the foreground and background. Malicious applications can force themselves to the front without your control.
automatically start at boot
Allows an application to have itself started as soon as the system has finished booting. This can make it take longer to start the phone and allow the application to slow down overall performance of the phone by constantly running.
set preferred applications
Allows an application to modify your preferred applications. This can allow malicious applications to silently change the applications that are ran, spoofing your existing applications to collect private data from you.

Works great on Kindle Fire 6.2.1 With the setting "Stay In Status Bar" turned on, this is awesome on the Kindle Fire, to quickly and easilly switch back and forth between several apps. The Kill App function doesn't work because the Android API depricated the RestartPackages permission. The API says this is no longer available to applications because it allows them to break other applications. Would be nice if the function could bring up the app in the System's App Info page instead, to let the user kill them.

Marginal It doesn't seem to do anything besides tell me what's running.

This doesn't even stop apps. This is a stupid app too get, waste of space.

Possibly the best. Returns to last conversation view in SMS apps. All others fail. Please add ignore app. Don't want some apps shown.
