candy crush update keeps crashing on my ipad 1st generation

I have a work around that will allow me to play Candy Crush (CC) on my 1st generation iPad.

My game would drop back to the main iPad icon screen when ever I loaded it and hit Play. This was all caused by the lastest updates of CC.

Here is what works for my iPad crashes.

1. Turn the WiFi networking option off and leave it off. (this is in "Settings")

2. Turn the iPad off by doing a full power down. (Press and hold the power button)

3. After the iPad has completed the power down, re-start the iPad normally (keeping the WiFi OFF)

Candy Crush should run normally now as it did in the past, but, with the possiblity of a few odd problems:

If CC game crashes after several rounds of play, repeat steps 2 and 3.

If CC balks, at any time, repeating steps 2 and 3 seems to reset the play operation
Good Luck. . . .

Try to go into the game center app and log out of game center. Then see if your game will open.

Beyond that, the game has a support page

and even though it does say it's compatible with 5.1.1, it's possible that your device is getting older and may lack the resources to play the game well. iPad 1's are 7 years old now? that's positively ancient in tech terms. Your device may simply be wearing out.

DId not wirk for me!
