Identifying memory leaks...

[home_aidan]

Hi I caunt make my mind up if my app is leaking memory or not.

Could some one help me out?

Whats interesting here is that free memory rises... why would it do that? Total memory shows some small leakage, but would more free memory be assigned to flash when it doesnt actually need it?

Below is a swatch of checks on the app with in the first 10mins of it bein initialized...

you have no memory leak evidenced in those data.

you should just be checking total memory or, even better, use adobe scout to profile your app.
