I tried to use it with the built-in youtube app, but it stops workng although if you re-open, it will be paused at the point where you pressed the home button. Do you guys know what apps work with the background app?
Got a tip for us?

The backgrounder app sucks in my opinion. I couldn't run more than one app at a god damn time anyway because you get the stupid memory low error, in which case backgrounder stops working. The sole reason I jailbroke my phone was to run BeejiveIM in the background with backgrounder. It worked, but as soon as I launched say, the MySpace app, I'd go back to Beejive and it would boot up again and not resume from where I left off.
same here. i try to keep fring in the background and use another app but one of them crashes and the background app doesn't work anymore and have to reset the settings. 🙁
um no. this is a memory limitation of the vastly underpowered iphone. no app can fix this. best you're going to get is backgrounder.
Geez come on!! U always have the opinion to run only one app usong thr backgrounder! I always have the im+ running on the backround while listening to music OR surfing the web. NO u can't have em all open of course. But it works really great if u force quit the apps that ate not needed to run in the background
