iOS 6 App Store Crashing when trying to view Purchased apps

I'm experiencing this same problem since updating to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4 & 3GS. My MacBook and other iPhone 4 (which is still iOS 5) haven't been affected by this problem. I've also lost the ability to get automatic downloads on my iPhone 4 & 3GS with iOS 6. I've tried shutting all the apps down running in the background, power cycled many times, neither of which has worked. I may consider making a genius appointment this week.

Hi, I just want to put my complaint here about the same issue, hoping that apple will provide a fix soon as the number of users with this bug increases.

I've noticed also that searching in the App Store for general words like "PDF" crashes the app in my iPod touch 4 gen. And apps are noticeable slower and one I used a lot (a PDF reader named ReaddleDocs) crashes almost constantly (it didn't crash before upgrading to iOS 6), which makes me think it's a ram management problem in iOS itself.

Although i don't like it, I'm considering jailbraking just to get the lost functionality by moving back to iOS 5.1.1.

Today, it worked to go to Genius in Appstore, and I could browse the apps there. But as soon as I pressed on the app to learn more, or pressed the "not interested" button, Appstore quits and produces a Low Memory report in Settings.

Purchased still don't work.

I have over 2000 apps, I am going to try your suggestion. Hope it works for me too.

Update: It didn't. Guess I have to wait for Apple to take this problem a little more seriously and fix it.😐

Sent Apple Customer Support an email about this issue (purchased apps tab stuck loading/crashing in iOS 6; especially when people have bought a lot of apps) and received back: "Apple is currently working toward a resolution for the issue you have reported." Hopefully we'll see it in 6.0.1. Looks like 14,000+ views almost 100 comments got peoples attention.

Count me in as being one of the people whose purchased apps tab just keeps trying to load and then crashes. I have an iPhone 4 using iOS 6 with over 1000 apps. None of the fixes mentioned have worked for me either. I just thought I'd add another voice to this thread so maybe Apple will notice it. Hope they fix it soon. The cloud isn't much use to me if I can't see what I've purchased.

This problem appears to have been resolved for me. I'm wondering if the 'stores', were just really slammed last weekend due to the iphone 5 secondary release over the weekend that caused the hiccup for me. At any rate it appears to be working fine now. Automatic downloads is another matter :-(

I came here to see if there was an easy answer - guess not 😟.

After the iOS6 upgrade to my 4S, I experienced intermittent crashes while in the App Store.

Now, it has been happening consistently for the past four days. Most of the time, it is either when I am in the Genius area or when I am opening an app up online to review the details and reviews about it before I think about purchasing it. BOOM. Crash.

I'm not running any apps in the background when I do this (already made sure everything is closed down) and I have plenty of memory / space on my phone.

For apps I have already purchased and which notify me of an update, I can usually get to those, download the updates with no issues.....

I'll wait for the fix because obviously, it ain't just me....

P.S. Even though I have a small number of apps installed/purchased, I can see in diagnostics that appstore is crashing lots and there's an associate Low Memory message. Interesting information...

I've heard that people with the new Podcasts app tend to have this problem. Delete the Podcasts app and see if that helps.

Still stuck at never, ever having been able to access Genius in the App Store without an immediate crash, not since updating my 4s to ios6. I don't have hundreds of apps either, and nothing to do with podcasts. Same exact thing on my Touch. Worst "update" ever, and this has been going on how long now? Feh.

Is anybody still having this problem? It started for me on Monday night and is still ongoing. Apple has not been very helpful.

The problem is on all my iOS devices, including iPhone 5, 4, iPad 3 and two iPod touches.

All were/are running iOS 6 without any issues until this issue cropped up on Monday night.

So now, everything is crashing - my camera, my sms, everything but system settings. There's definitely a memory leak - how the heck do we clear that out??? I have less than 50 apps - maybe 10 songs, no videos, no podcasts.

Grrrr

Go to Settings -> Privacy -> Location Services -> System Services -> Turn off thr Genius for Apps, Location Based iAds,

Your provlem will be solved,

Thanks

I also experienced this on my App Store after I applied the IOS6 on my iPhone 4s. Mine is, no display on Featured, Charts or even on Search. Also, I noticed, some of my installed application are crashing. Sometime, its hard to slide - or delay in response.

Hope, Apple will release another version of the new IOS6.

Regards.
