Apps won't start in iOS 8.0.2

Last night upgraded my iPhone 5s to 8.0.2. Since then a number of apps will not open, including Safari and Health. They just flash a white screen and return to the home screen. Everything worked fine after the 8.0.0 install last week.

iPhone 5s, iOS 8

Hello John,



It may help to force close all open applications, then reset your iPhone.


iOS: Understanding multitasking

iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

If the affected apps continue to quit unexpectedly, the next step would be restoring the device.


iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

Total frustration with IOS 8.0.2... what a nightmare. Can't get important apps to work.. that I use everyday... can't connect to WIFI... Phone crashes repeatedly (4s) ... it hangs... it takes 5-10 minutes to boot.... battery drains very quickly. I might end up as one of those former iPhone users too! Apple is losing my confidence... when my wife's CHEAP Android does better and quicker than this... I'm wondering how many times Apple has shot itself in the foot... cause right now they don't have a leg to stand on! And I want to trust them with a iPhone 6? I am not so sure that is wisdom... I'm about ready to go back to my STARTAC ... or at least a flip phone... cause this "Smart Phone" just had a lobotomy!
