Abstract
A method is disclosed for quitting an application on a device with a touchscreen such as a mobile phone. The method uses a finger gesture that works on the mobile operating system level to close applications running on the device. The system requires the user to draw the alphabet “X” using his/her finger on the screen, which closes the application running on the device. The method provides a quick, efficient and universal gesture to quit an application at the operating system level that functions across all the applications running.
