I thought this was sorted. When I use MN on my iPad it constantly shuts down, it's soooo frustrating. It happened a few weeks back and then appeared 'mended' but now it's back.

Anyone else having problems?

Yes, everything you've said has happened to me.

Ooh, look, it's stayed open long enough for me to type th

Are you using Safari browser on your iPad bumblin? If so it really isn't the best browser to use, very flakey.

I use my iPad all the time and have the same infuriating problems, browser spontaneously shuts down, keyboard freezes, really slow etc

The main problem is the pile of crap called iOS 8. My iPad has never been the same since I upgraded.

londonrach · 24/04/2015 21:58

Daisy are there other browsers

Bakeoffcake · 24/04/2015 22:00

It's been going on for weeks. It's really bad tonight!

BumblingBoris · 24/04/2015 22:01

I've not upgraded to IOS 8 as ive heard it's so shite,
It is safari so maybe that's the problem. Don't have problems with any other sites when using safari tho.

Bakeoffcake · 24/04/2015 22:05

I haven't upgraded either.

daisychain01 · 25/04/2015 02:08

Mumsnet has too many bloody adverts a lot of coding stuff going on behind the scenes which is great for their revenue stream but makes for absolutely awful performance and sends Safari into a tizz.

If you are like me you'll regularly have "reloading, the browser stopped working" or words to that effect, because Safari can't cope.

daisychain01 · 25/04/2015 02:14

Hi london yes Chrome is a reasonable freeby downloadable from the Apple store. I somehow keep drifting back onto my Safari.

Another thing is not to have too many tabs open. I'm the world's worst for that (and too many MS Windows open on my laptop!) I'm just a lazy cahhhh probably.

MrsTedCrilly · 25/04/2015 02:31

Same for me on ipad! Phone great.

CloserToFiftyThanTwenty · 25/04/2015 02:37

Same here on my iphone Angry

daisychain01 · 25/04/2015 02:44

I've just read the thread that Mango kindly linked to, it seems to have been going on quite a while and MNHQ do suggest upgrading to iOS 8. I haven't had much luck with the upgrade it has made my iPad worse but it's difficult to know if it's because I'm on an older iPad and the latest iOS is too much for the old girl! I'm sticking with it though, as I'm not spending another £300++ what a waste!
