Foreflight does not crash for me but w= ith IO7 I don't close apps quite that way.  i can access open apps as y= ou advise but there are no wiggling icons with minus signs to close.  I= nstead, the icons are along the bottom with a miniature screen of the  = background app above.  In order to close the app I put a finger on the m= iniature screen hold  it down for a second and then slide it up to clos= e the app.

perhaps i have different settings from y= ou?

George, (and anyone else who has Forefl= ight crashes)

I learned from Foreflight support that the t= ypical crash scenario is lack of working memory.
You may be able t= o avoid by killing the other apps that are running (tap the big button twice= in a row, a row of icons shows up on the bottom.   Hold your finger on= one, they all start dancing with minus signs.  touch the minus sign fo= r any app you want to not be in working memory right now....)
