Before updating to 1.13.2 it worked fine; only just today after installing the update did it start crashing. I wonder if it's to do with how old the iPad is.
I noticed other issues that had their iOS crashing, but all for 1.13.0 or earlier, and even saw one thread where 1.13.2 was going to be a fix.
