In my particular case the IPAD-1 is being used by a younger person learning Minecraft.
He would be OK if the program simply worked like it did last year - at the older version.
However he has learned how to put the IPAD into Airplane mode to play. It is a hoot to watch him hotkey over to settings and move the mode to Airplane mode, and then hotkey back. Just turned 5 years old 🙂

On the other hand, he mutters under his breath that he wants to share a world with his 8-year old sister who has an IPAD-2.

I'd like to suggest that the developer offer an older version of Minecraft PE on the Appstore for those who have older iPads. I've seen this done for the "NEXTISSUE" application and some others. I appreciated being able to continue with the original functionality while newer iPads could get improved functionality.

Let me add that the airplane mode "trick" does allow you to get going, so thanks for that.

Just to confirm this still is problem on iPad 1 with 16gb and 7gb free. I tried hard and soft rebooting and redownload. Freezes shortly after splash screen every time. Previous versions were laggy but did work.
