Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I found out that an app called wattpad was deleted from the app store. I have the app but it keeps crashing whenever I try to open it. Some people told me that if you delete the app, and re-download it from the "purchases" tab on the app store, it will work again. I have tried this three times and it crashed every time. I have an iPhone 6 with iOS 8.1.2. Why is wattpad not opening on my phone? Why was it deleted?
iPhone 6, iOS 8.1.2
It isn't because of the iphone you have or the IOS because I have the iphone 5s and the IOS 7.1.2 but the same thing happend. I tried several times to open it and it would just crash.
We are just users like yourself and have no inside information as to why an app is no longer available. It's possible the app you have is not compatible with the newer iOS version and may have been deleted because the app developer quit updating their product.
Save the app to iTunes on your computer, delete from the iPad then resync it from iTunes.
Wattpad developer here. We ran into a serious crash issue in the most recent version, which I'm assuming is what you're experiencing, so we pulled it from the App Store to prevent more users from updating to the version that crashes. We submitted a new version and it will be back in the App Store as soon as it's approved.
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.
