dictionary app crashes on opening

I have an i pad mini series 1 A1432 that I am having a problem with only 1 app crashing on opening. The app is Dictionary.com. This issue has only started in this last week.

I have turned off i pad and have deleted and reloaded the app with no fix.

Is it the i pad or the app? The dictionary app works fine on all other Apple devices.

Apple Dictionary Bugginess Hi folks, So, my Apple Dictionary application, as much as I love it, is growing increasingly buggy. I have had minor problems with it for several OS updates, but now, clicking on a word-link with my mouse simply does not work . . . at all. This has happened intermittently before, but now, it never works. Interestingly, my Magic Trackpad gets along just fine with the Dictionary. My Magic Mouse is not showing any other problematic behaviours (e.g. links on Safari work just fine). This is limited strictly to Dictionary word-links, as far as I can tell. I have tried deleting what seem to be Dictionary related plist files, but that has had no discernible effect. I wish Apple would let me simply to a fresh installation of just Dictionary, but that doesn’t seem possible. Any other suggestions? Thank you!

Hi indiafrommelbourne!

I understand that your dictionary app is not working properly, and I'm happy to help. It sounds like you've done a good job with troubleshooting, and at this point you should contact the app developer as described here:

If an app unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open

Cheers!
