Affinity Photo iPad crashes constantly

I have a brand new iPad mini 5. I have installed all updates but I am getting crashes randomly from many things.

1.8 release is waiting on Apple to add to updates in the next few days. It should address many issues as the beta has been very stable.

I hope so. I am very sad 😞

Hi super0sonic and Welcome to the Forums,

I suspect you are running into the same issue as on this thread which is still with the Dev team to be resolved.

Nooooooo. I am not running that version, I am running 1.8 but I am having that problem.

Same here, I’ve been working on different RAW files in the develop persona. Working with the sliders seems to cause the application to crash in 1.8, even before i attempt to develop.  Sometimes if i am lucky i’ll be ok, but usually it crashes within 5 minutes. I’ve just moved to the current public beta of 13.4, however no luck on my ipad air 3. Hoping this becomes stable again soon so I can work on some more shots from our recent trip

I’ve been having the same problems with crashes. Occurs most often during image processing after making an edit. Frustrating because I have to go back and reapply the edits. I’ve worked around the problem a bit by more frequently applying a change (it would be saving on a PC or MAC), but Photo still crashes. 
 

I’m running on the current iPad Air. Current iPadOS.
