App Cache Cleaner app

What the 'Pop Toast' option does in App Cache Cleaner app?

Hey Marios. Can you explain a bit clearer what you mean please?
EDIT sorry I just checked the apps settings and it isn't clear but I'm guessing it just means you'll get a pop up "toast" message when it auto-clears the app cache (not recommended, I only recommend using the widget manually when things get laggy) telling you how much data it's cleared

Under the 'Pop Toast' phrase it explains what this option does with the phrase: 'Need pop Toast automatic cleanup'.

Yeah I'm just guessing it's bad translation mate and means it will show a toast message when it auto clears the cache

I'd swear it was invented by one of the early great devs at XDA, toast, but I can't verify that.

I'd always wondered where the term came from tbh..... Is it coz it pops up?

Entirely possible.

It's been in Android since at least 2010 and became iToast in Apple Cocoa a few years after that.

Wikipedia classes it with the other types of pop-up messages available nearly a decade before Android came along.

Whoever named it deserves some recognition but will probably never get it.
