IPad 1 not playing the game!

[cheeryble]

Hi

Unbeknownst to me my wife recently bought herself a Mini.

I took a look and realised it was much lighter and perfect for me especially reading books.

I thought to myself I can do a deal here.

I suggested swapping my top of range iPad 1, albeit old, would gie her a better screen size door playing HayDay and Candy Crush.

It worked!

Trouble was waiting.

Every 15 minutes I hear grasps of exasperation as the damn thing crashes.

She say it always happens at the same crucial point when she has to buy something, cheese or corn or soemthing, in the game and other people are trying to buy the same time.

I told her to reboot regularly and keep the running program's down, but it still hapoens.

She can play it on the mini no problem.

How do I get to keep the mini but keep her happy?

Is it only the limitations of iPad 1 causing this?

Am I doomed?

I never ever want to use.a full size iPad again!

My first thought is to check what the minimum version of iOS and hardware requirements these games need and see if the iPad 1 is running that. If you cannot upgrade the iOS or the hardware is not the minimum required you are indeed doomed.

The iPad 1 is quickly becoming a dinosaur. Some of my apps can no longer be upgraded - the newest versions require iOS 6. A bunch of my apps regularly crash now, when they didn't a year ago. Few or no new apps to speak of are coming out for iOS 5.

It's nearly time to dump that 3 year old iPad - Obsolete!

At least they won't be referring to tablets as boat anchors. Maybe sinkers, but not anchors.
