Q: Some Apps Quit Working
Why do some of my apps on my iPad 2 quit working halfway through me using or playing them? Especially with games?

It could be because the games put more demands on the iPad than it can handle. The 2 is a 5+ year old device with a slower processor and less RAM than current devices.
Sometimes what helps is to force close apps you're not using, to free up resources for the ones you do want. You do that by double tapping the home button then flicking the preview up and off the screen to close the app. I know on my 2, I'd only keep open what I really needed to have open, and on some games, I'd close down everything but the game.
It's not a perfect fix but it can help.
The only 'fix' is to not play the games or get a newer device that has a better processor and more RAM (kinda a lose/lose)
