Does anyone know of an app that can automatically optimize the ram in my device just like Iolo's Auto Memory Manager does?

Well, android really does this on it's own without the need for an app to do it.
There was a thread about that whole ram bit, but cannot find it atm.....

By the way, just curious, why do you need to manage ram?

Please excuse me if I'm wrong, but are you perhaps a Windows user?
If so, you need to forget everything you ever THOUGHT was necessary for managing memory! Here in the Linux world (which includes Android), our OS does things so efficiently, it's rare...very rare, that a typical user needs to worry about memory management.
Again, excuse me if I've made an incorrect assumption.

I'm using Android & I do have a Linux PC but I'm talking about my Android here. There are times my Android runs slow & times my Android runs so slow that it reboots itself interrupting what I'm doing. I need an app that will clear out enough ram automatically so I don't have to worry about my device rebooting itself nor worry about my device running so slow.
The android system does that already. Maybe if you were still running android 1.5 or 2.1 something like that would be useful, but there really is no need for those things now.
But the behaviour you describe is something I've never met on any Android device (including devices running 2.3 with only a few hundred MB of RAM). So why do you believe that RAM is the problem? Are you sure it's not something else, such as a rogue app, poorly-configured system software or a shortage of storage (Android needs some free storage as working space - that's why it warns you long before it actually runs out)? What device do you have?

I have Android 6.0 Marshmallow
Does the device seem to get hot just before rebooting? Does it matter what you are doing on the phone when it reboots itself? I don't suppose you can readily duplicate the rebooting issue, as in, it's random?
My guess would be a misbehaving app. Had that on a previous device but was lucky enough to know what app was causing it. (don't remember what app it was but nevertheless, it was an app issue)

Precisely why I wondered if they're used to Windows...and its bizarre, inefficient way of handling memory problems caused by its bloated, inefficient file system and...okay, I'll shut up now.

. I recently encountered a student's computing assignment which used so much memory it would crash the lab computers (Windows) - I couldn't believe in this day and age that you could crash an operating system just by creating some large arrays in python! There's a reason why we don't do any of the important computing in my field using Windows (all the real work has been done on Linux for decades, though many people do use Macs as personal computers - which are of course just another *nix under the hood. Windows is very much a minority in my community).

I know. Incredible--and ridiculous. Put Linux on those same computers and they'd fly.
And mission-critical programs are run on *nix, and 98-ish percent of all supercomputers run *nix...
Which is why they're so stable and reliable.
As it is in mine--and should be everywhere! I simply will never grasp why people use an OS that's as inferior, unstable, bloated, resource hungry, crash-prone, slow, insecure and vulnerable as window$. *SMH*

How does Android manage the ram on newer Android such as 5.0 & newer?
