iOS 8 crashing apps 65% more than iOS 7

A report updated today by mobile analytics company Crittercism showed that Apple's new iOS 8, which was released few days ago, is causing apps to crash 65 percent more frequently than iOS 7.

But Crittercism is comparing current rates for the week-old iOS 8 to the year-old iOS 7. We know that new operating systems are frequently launched with initial bugs and other issues and Apple has always pushed system updates through quickly.

According to Crittercism, overall iOS 8 is causing apps to crash 3.29 percent of the time as of midnight Tuesday. That's compared with the current 2 percent crash rate for iOS 7. Crittercism said that it has been tracking crash rates since September 17, the day iOS 8 was released, and rates peaked on September 21 at 3.56 percent. There is no prize for guessing that older devices including the iPhone 4S, 5 and 5S experienced higher crash rates. Apple is yet to make any comment on the report.
