My Facebook app always shuts down randomly and I have tried re starting iPod and re downloading the app

I have had my iPod touch for 4 months and I am experiencing problems with my Facebook app. And a few others as well. Whenever I try to look at pictures on Facebook, the app shuts down without me pressing the home button. I have tried turning my iPod off and them on again, re downloading the app a few times and shutting my wi fi connection off. These methods work for a short amount of time and then the app starts shutting down again. I really need apple to release a new update for iPods to fix the bug my iPod might have. What do you recommend I do to fix this?
