I know there are some out there that think IOS manages memory well, so
you never have to close an app. I know there are others out there as
well who close an app as soon as they're done using it. I have an iPhone
4S, and I think the truth is somewhere in between. I want the phone to
do as much for me as it can, and it can manage it's own memory better
than I can, so I'm not slavish about closing an app as soon as I'm done
using it. This is a few extra steps to close it and then it takes a bit
longer to load the next time I do use it. I don't let my number of open
aps get too numerous though, and there are some apps that seem a bit
more resource intensive than others. Apps that I'm not likely to use
again for a while, I'll also make a point to close when I'm done.
Obviously, when the phone does start acting flaky, I'll close everything
up and even restart it, but this doesn't happen very often.

I disagree, a couple of weeks ago I had almost every app on my phone,
more than 60 and I had about 50 open, lots of things were not really
working right and when I emptied the apt switcher everything was back to
normal, I did not realize I had that many in there until I started
closing them, thought I’d never be done. Anyway, I still try to keep
mine at a lot less than 50 apps now. I could not get KNFB to work
before I emptied mine, nor talking goggles which I use to read my oven
so I can set the temperature correctly, only thing that seems to work
for reading the oven, it has that touch screen and very difficult to get
it right without help, goggles helps. It is about all I now use it for,
however.
Anyway, I read somewhere that one never needed to empty the app
switcher, but it was in a book where the person is not using Voiceover,
and I do think it makes a difference.

The Home Button has always done that. You really never need to close
apps, especially with iOS7 or 8 and the newer iPhones or iPads. The
system manages things well, and makes apps sleep or work in the most
efficient way it can. The only time you'd need to close an app is if it
is misbehaving (sucking up data or power like crazy, or not responding
correctly). Mostly, you can leave apps alone and you'll be fine. The App
Switcher is a quick way to access recent apps, or apps being handed off
by other Apple devices, but it isn't necessary to keep it cleaned out.

Ok, I do this now but I still wish it would tell me where I am when
I hit that app switcher! I guess I like more rather than less
verbosity. What is nice is that if I simply hit the home button
once, it will bring me back to the home page where I might want to
open something else without closing settings or whatever app I was
just in, so that is easy!

I think I see what you're saying. It isn't that the focus is on the
wrong app, it's that VoiceOver is silent, not speaking the app at
all. Simply touch the screen to focus; you'll have to do that
anyway, to close it, or to start swiping to other apps, so it's
really nothing extra.
