iPad Apps crashing

Just wondering how commonly you guys see apps crash on your iPad? I've been an iPhone user for a while and rarely see apps crash. So I'm wondering how frequently others see them and also how many crashes does it take before you restore your iPad? I'm using a 4th gen iPad running iOS 6.1.2. yelp seems to crash sorta frequently and occasionally Alien Blue =(

Since ios 6 i see crashes on a semi regular basis when trying out new apps. There are a good few apps that don't ever run now for me and just crash on loading. No idea if it is on my end or the person writing the apps end. I have an ipad 3. Examples of apps that crash on startup for mr are madden 13 social, crunchyroll, and order and chaos. The apps run on my wife's iphone fine :(

I've been having this problem occur more and more after I updated my ipad to iOS 6.1.1, and a little less frequently with 6.1.2, though it still happens. Also have noticed that it takes my ipad longer to charge, and wifi doesn't seem as strong. And for a while my iPod screen lock wouldn't always work.

Don't know what Apple did, but someone needs to get their shit together over there. No more updating for me without doing some research.

[edit: forgot to say that I have an ipad 3rd gen. Had zero problems with it until this last round of updates]

I have an ipad mini. Plants vs Zombies no longer seems to work. It just crashes on loading every time. Appart from that though nothing seems to crash anymore.

iPad 4, so iOS 6out fo the gate, and AlienBlue is crashiest. Never had nearly as many crashes on my iPad 1 or 2.

All the time, don't be fooled, it's a computer like anything else and has it's share of issues, lag, slowness, and freezes.

I'm on a 3rd Gen and learned to live with it long ago. It's a computer, regardless of the "It just works" horseshit, it is still prone to the same problems all computers have. If it gets too bad you do to it the same you do with any PC, tablet, or phone, wipe and reload.

Glad it's not just me. I'm fine with issues but I guess the ppl I've asked haven't used theirs enough to see the errors. As long as it's not just me, I'm good.

Make sure memory isn't too full. Close apps running in the background. Do reboot.

I've seen the iPad 1 crash a ton. I gave up on Alien Blue because it was always giving me out of memory errors on my iPad 2.
