Closing an app

[Tricon7]

After I've opened an app, I want to go back to the "home" screen and go to bed. How do I close the app instead of leaving it running in the background, using up the battery? If I press the icon until it wiggles, it'll delete it - not close it. And I have only one app only. Do I simply double-press the home button at bottom to do this, or is there a quicker/simpler way?

double press the home to open multitasker than hold it till it wiggles and delete from the multitask bar

if youre jailbroken there is app in cydia called multicleaner. you could set how you want to close out apps.

To confirm another response, just double-click the Home button and close out the appropriate app. Works like a charm, and this completely closes it! .... unless you have Push notifications for certain items...
