I've been on my wireless connection for the crashes. The steps to cause the crash are as follows: Select a QST to read. Select read (not download). Begin reading. Swipe to turn pages quickly as if you are returning to the place last read. After a few fast page turns, the app crashes back to the desktop. I do see the cache holding what was read. I can see this behavior every time I am in reading (not download mode, I haven't tested the failure in download so it may be there too) and it happens after a bunch of fast page turns every time. QST looks great on the iPad by the way. Really nice. But we need to get the iPad app fixed. No issues on the iPad other than the QST app.

The QST app worked OK for me at first in October - I had downloaded just about all issues, and read/browsed a couple. Then an update. At first, the app fired up, but I had terrible trouble viewing covers, and couldn't download or read anything :-( I followed the FAQ steps, restarting my iPad and removing/reinstalling the QST app... Now, every time I try to start the QST app, it crashes back to the desktop immediately. No other apps (mis-)behave like this. I briefly see the ARRL splash screen, then right back to the desktop. I'm fully up-to-date with iOS 6.0.1, bone-stock and lightly-used ipad with 1/2-dozen other apps (I use my iPad almost exclusively as an eReader, with Stanza and iBooks principally).

Why do we see such awful releases without serious testing? Formerly I could read most of the magazine with only an occasional crash. Still overall a good experience. Based on that I stopped delivery of the printed QST. Now with the "updates," the app is useless. I am fed up with the slow fixes and want to return to print. I've spent the last 15 minutes on the ARRL site trying to find how to edit that, waiting for very slow service. I'm unable to find the setting for receiving print QST. Frustrating! Thought we were all technology friendly and ready for dedicated digital use. Not so.

I uninstalled the QST app from my iPad Air and reinstalled it. Then I let the app fully download the magazine I wanted to read (which can be very slow). That seemed to stop the crashes and I was able to move through the magazine quite smoothly. As was first posted, it seems the problems occur when reading from the network, rather than as a downloaded file.

Then, suddenly with the March 2019 edition of QST, it crashes everytime I try to download it. I’ve reset the iPad and even deleted and re-installed the app. Same problem. I can read the issue live, online. Downloading individual pages also seems to work, but the app just instantly closes if I try to download the whole edition. Anyone have any ideas? Running iOS 12.1.4 and have 32G free out of 64G.
