Apps not working

I have iPhone5. Recently several apps have been failing to work. Ones I have noticed in particular are Nook, Facebook, and Facebook Messenger. They will either crash or freeze once opened. I have tried everything short of a full restore on the phone. Hard resets, delete and reinstall, etc. None of my friends are having this issue so I am wondering if anyone else is having this problem and any suggestions to fix. Battery life has also been really short but I see there are lots of people having that issue after the latest update which I have done.
