How to stop game freezes

I have been playing a card game on my iPad. I had no problems until I installed a Suduko app. Now my card game freezes and is no longer fun to play. I have tried re-booting the iPad and uminstalling the card game; then reinstalling the game from the cloud.

iPhone 4, iOS 7.1.1

I finally got my iPad to work. This is how I did it. First i deleted the pinochle game that had stopped working; then I deleted Sudoko by Brainium. Sodoko was the last download before the problem began. Next I shut down the iPad and waited at least 60 seconds before I turned the iPad back on.


I restored Soduko from my cloud. I checked to make sure everything was working. Once I was satisfied there were no more freezes. I shut down the iPad again. Once I had the tablet back on I downloaded the pinochle app I enjoyed. It took a while to find the free app. In the app store it only listed pinochle apps that had a cost. I found a way to search my cloud. Anyway, the iPad is operating normally now.


Thanks!

Hello there, Tankbach.


The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great troubleshooting recommendation for initial troubleshooting:

When performing Step 2, I would recommend closing all open apps:

If an app doesn't respond to your input, or doesn't perform as expected, do the following, testing after each step:

  1. Check for app updates.
  2. Force the app to close.
  3. Restart your device.
  4. Update your iOS device.


Additionally this article reviews some additional steps as well:
