Why do games that used to work just fine on my iPad crash now?

Has anything recently changed? A software update perhaps, or the affected Apps themselves updated?


A forced-restart of your iPad may be beneficial:


  • On an iPad with a Home button: Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
  • On other iPad models: Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the top button. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.
