5 Root Causes Of Apps To Crash Unexpectedly

Despite expert app developers pulling their weight for bringing greater consistency, apps do get crashed splashing a message for “Forced Stop” to the users. Irrespective of the app running on Android or iOS, crashing of apps are usual phenomenon that users often encounter. While some blame on the incompatibility of their device with the app, others just slam it. Whatever it, the ultimate result of an app crashing multiple times is hitting the uninstall option by the users. However, smartphones are merely not the reason for apps failure, but the apps themselves are. Many do crash due to the issues within the app and GetAProgrammer, a visionary company for app development in Sydney gives you the prime causes of app crash.

Device Memory issue


The biggest problem an app face after installation in a device is acquiring the space in the device memory. When used, it may soak up a lot of memory and spin excessive threads. Apps consuming up lot of device memory is also hard to run if there are many other apps running on the same.

Poor integration of front end and back end


Apps can crash due to weakly optimised front-end which happens when developers fail to put in the best treatments in the front end functions. Similarly, a poorly integrated back end support of the app can let it crash. It happens when the back end could not handle and respond well the requests for functions sent by the front end. Initially, it slows the app but in the end, make it freeze or crash down.

Inconsistency in software development


The iterative process of app development is accompanied by the consistent release of updates which open new avenues for the app in the market and improve over time, getting more audience. However, with every update, it becomes difficult for the app to function on the traditional OS software which does not run through frequent updates. OS are highly unstable which results in serious complications because of the app’s dependency on the OS besides the third party APIs.




Incompatibility of device browser


Any web based app browser tends to crash often because of their incompatibility with mobile's browser for which apps developers need to test them on the popular browsers trending in most devices.

Fatal bugs


This is often encountered when any new feature is rolled out for the app, but the other systems of the app may fail to collaborate with it. Also, while implementing all custom features during development, it may happen that some of the bugs do not come to the notice of the developers and get identified after the app is used.


Apps are do making life easier for the users by offering myriad utilities. But if they crash often, it disappoints them when they are in real need.  Keep these above paramount reasons of apps failure in mind during development, to prevent your app go astray and deplete in performance.
