Can't get some of my apps to work on iPad

In the last week I have noticed that I can't get some apps to work. Like right move, iplayer, my supermarket, shopitize.
I have tried updating the iPad, reinstalling the apps. Rebooting the iPad. I can't think of what else to do as I don't know if is a problem with the iPad or the apps themselves.

Any advice please

Louise

    What model iPad, what version of iOS are you using?

    3. Do you want a quick answer or better understanding?

    The original iPad isn't compatible with iOS 7 (at least that's what Apple says). I wonder if that's where your problem stems from.

    So what can I do about it. It wasn't working right before the update either.
  • Did it even update? i get a no-go error for IOS 7 on my Ipad 1 so the update can't even begin. The problem is the Apps get more complex, for want of a better word, and leave the Ipad 1 behind. Every I time I play eg. SongPop these days, it crashes a couple of times every session. I wish I had never upgraded to new versions of Apps but no way back now.

    If you update while tethered to a computer and you don't empty your recycle bin, then there might be a way back.

    (no promises this will work)

    When you update an app, the old version of it is sent to the recycle bin. Theoretically, you could delete the new versions from the iTunes folder on your computer and restore the old ones to it. Then delete the apps off your iPad. Make sure your computer is offline, plug the iPad in and sync it.
    ...there's a strong possibility that will work.
