iOS software to work like iPhone's Exit button

I have 2 iPhones that the Exit button has stopped working:
we used Settings => Accessibility => AssistiveTouch
(or TripleTouchHome) but this is not the same as  Exit
button which exits the current app.

Q1:
I guess by going "Home" the app is still running/open in the
iOS & this consumes extra resource/energy? Is there any
app which will truly exit the app.

Don't want to repair that "Exit" button as it costs quite a bit
(think it's around $50 at least for both labor+material or
 more if we go to Apple to do it).

Q2:
Is there any software from Appstore that costs less than US$3
or freeware

So after touching the circle thingy (from Settings => Accessibility => AssistiveTouch),
I'll get four buttons: one of them is Home: I've tried double-touching the Home
button quickly:  it does not turn off the app that's currently open.  What did I miss?

It is a tweak not an app, so no i doubt it is complaint with apple,

"wondering why this app can't be available in Apple App Store without jaillbreaking the phone? somewhere not compliant with Apple's policies?"
