Audiobus: Use your music apps together.
What is Audiobus? — Audiobus is an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output for each app. Route MIDI between apps — drive a synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI keyboard — or sync with your external MIDI gear. And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.

Auria - Adobe Reader is a memory pig
Bought Auria on last week's sale. Slowly reading the PDF manual in Adobe Reader and following along. Close everything, run a memory cleaner - 350+ clear, launch Auria small 1track mono no insert project - 311. Launch Adobe Auria manual -79! Free! It is as if Adobe has every PDF in it's library loaded in memory! Need a much lighter PDF reader.
Air, 7.0.4
Edit. Never mind. The mem cleaner gets the Adobe excess after a bit and it, only!, uses 50meg.

...not on iOS7
oh what???? seriously?
Uh, I already have GoodReader. Runs just fine on iOS 7. It does so much I never even considered it as a lightweight alternative. I will now.
It's crashing very often here.And i'm not alone,the (german)app store reviews are full of reports like this.It went down from 5 to 2 stars actually.

I've always heard good things about GoodReader, but I've always been happy with iFiles:

I have always used USB Disk Pro. Very good.

There is a free version but it's full of adds etc.
Speaking of memory cleaners, any suggestions of which to use? Thanks.
i use "cMemory"(free).Definitely doing it's job.
I use system status. Does what I need.

thx for the tip Crabman, cMemory does a good job!
GoodReader is working just as great as always for me on iOS 7. It is easily the most useful iPad app I ever downloaded. I don't know what I would do without it.
wow. not sure how I haven't used one of these before.
AB2 should have a memory wiper in it.
Only 2/5 kidding.
I get no results searching for cMemory on the store. Anyone got a linky for me?
btw: GoodReader is fast and fine on my Air. iOS 7 introduced a very minor initial screen update in the reader, that is all. No crashes.

I use GoodReader all the time -- including to dig into the details of Auria while running it at the same time -- but it does still have a very annoying bug on iOS 7 that has been there since the OS release. There's a display issue such that when you swipe to a new page, all you get is a blank grey background. If you give a quick pinch to the screen, your page appears, and all else works normally. It doesn't happen every time, but it's probably more than 50%. You get used to it, but it's troubling that they haven't taken the time to fix this since September. All else works great, and it's definitely my preferred reader.
@flo26, crabman Thanks a lot. Will definitely check those out.
Everyone should check out Readdle's Documents app: http://readdle.com/products/documents/
Works great as a file manager, and it handles PDFs very well.
@dwarman: I found this link for cMemory, it works here

Thanks, @syrupcore and @Marcel, got it!
