Kindle app keeps crashing on my iPad

Update 6.61 seems to have made the app unstable.

The page loads then crashes.

Again and again.

Which is quite irritating

Running IOS 15.5

I was able to solve my crashing by deleting the app. Luckily I was able to backup the books not sourced from Amazon in my hard disk when it bought a new IPad. The books from Amazon are still there when you reload the app. But it sucks as reloading took a while.


the app so far hasn’t crashed anymore when before deleting, like you, I couldn’t even open it as it just goes back to home screen

Status update on my iPad Kindle app: Since I downloaded the new version on my iPhone and it was okay after it finally synched, I decided to risk the new version on my iPad. I did, and apparently since it was synced before, it did not need to again and freeze with the new version. Yay. I don’t have many books from my Library on it yet because of this ongoing issue, but I may download some more. It would sure be a huge help if Amazon's developers would recognize this issue and have a popup notification that says so to the effect of "Please wait while syncing" instead of allowing it to freeze up!

I have the Kindle app on my iPad and still have 200 Gb memory. I actually bought a new iPad so that I can store more books. I already tried switching off the iPad, turning on airplane mode and both doesn’t work. I haven’t tried deleting the app as I have other books that didn’t come from Amazon. I will have to backup all of them or lose them. It’s just so sad

Running iOS vsn 15.6.1 and kindle app for ipad vsn 6.64. Since the end of June, and throughout every iOS and kindle app for ipad update since ens June, kindle crashes every time I try to load the app.


i don’t even get to the kindle app home page, just boom, and back to my ipad home screen. I am so fed up with this, paying Amazon for a kindle subscription that does not work is not great. Yes, I can go online and open my books via the internet, but O cannot download them onto anything that I can read them on. I live in an area with intermittent wifi (at best) so the ability ot download books and read them offline was what attracted me to kindle - that and the much larger selection of free books (on subscription) than that on apple books, and the number of books available (paid and free) in my preferred genre.


Is it nor possible for iOS to put out a patch to iOS then helps nudge kindle in the right direction? Amazon don’t seem to be rectifying it - at least from what I read across multiple forums.
