Normally, to switch between apps you have to open "recent tasks" dialog which appears when you long-press the home button. Looks easy, but now with Recent Bar it becomes much simpler, easier and it makes multitasking more efficient.

Having in mind that if you don’t wait long enough for the dialog to appear, you may end up in home screen, wasting more time while you were trying to switch between apps, and so Recent Bar comes to allow you to access and navigate between running apps quickly and conveniently.
