For over a year now I have been running SD on an original iPad and enjoying the benefits of such a good piece of software.

However, I'm now using the latest version of the iPad SD (late Dec release) on the same iPad with iOS 5.1.1 and have found that the SD software constantly crashes out on me. I've tried this on the ground and in air, only to find the same results. Whether I'm in plan mode or GPS navigation mode, it just keeps on happening!

I've restarted the iPad, shutdown all other apps -- all to no avail. On today's flight in MVFR the longest that I managed to keep SD running in Navigation Mode was about 5 minutes and the shortest time was 15 seconds. According to the logs I have about 20 flights logged in the space of 90 minutes, mainly from "unknown to "unknown" , as I tried to restart SD in mid flight.

SD is a fantastic piece of software but I'm not able to rely on this latest iPad release whereas in the previous version I may have experienced a crash on the odd occasion and was happy to live with that.

I've be thinking about purchasing the iPad mini but will be putting that on hold and returning to the Navsgo as my main SD device. What a shame as SD and iPad ae made for each other.

Is anybody else experiencing the same problems?

Just adding to the pool

I too have been using SD for a couple of years on a cheap chinese unit. Excellent programme.

Recently got a new Ipad 3 and having the same problems as above, keeps crashing anywhere between 5 minutes and 20 minutes, so lots of unknown to unknowns. Tried Biggles-EGKB fix of resetting Locations and Privacy. This seemed to work for about 30 minutes, then reverted back to regular crashes. Doesn't seem to crash on the ground when connected to wifi, only with 3G in the air. I'm not sure what it's trying to do when it crashes.

I'm using an Ipad 3, IOS 6.0.1, SD 2.5.

With all other apps closed, I run SD and Google Chrome only while flying. The System Status app shows Total Memory 988MB, Active 178MB, Inactive 107MB, Other 438MB and Free 160MB. I don't know how much free memory is needed or if this info is of any use to people who do! CPU usage seems fairly low at around 6%.

Sorry I can't add any more, but looking forward to any progress - it's brilliant when it's working.
