Platform:ipad iOS

Game Version: 3.5.1

Airport: All except CNN (Kannur)

Description of the Bug: The game opens normally, can access WoApedia but it crashes when I try to load any airport (except for CNN). I uninstalled and reinstalled the game, but this did not fix the problem. The malfunction also seemed to appeared immediately after the iPad iOS 26.4.2 update and there were no problems before. I tried all variations of game settings to include Audio, Video, and Language with the game consistently crashing.

Steps to Reproduce:
Open ā€œPlayā€ any airport with the exception of CNN (Kannur) and the game crashed and returns to iPad Home Screen.

Additional Notes: Still plays normally on iPhone.

We have the same problem. I think the iOS update reduced the RAM available for playing the game. Apple Support told me to contact the developer for a game update. I don’t know how to do that.

I can confirm that everything works normally on the iPhone, including all audio and video options. Is there a developer somewhere in WOA who can shed some light on this and find a solution?

Is your device a Ipad 9th generation? And your RAM is 3 Gb? Then there is not much the devs can do. I don’t think an WOA version ā€œliteā€ is available soon.

Yes to the 9th gen and yes to the 3 Gb. :frowning: So this is more of a time to upgrade the iPad than hope for. A fix?

And why did it work…until the iOS update?

You provide the answer yourself. It worked before that update and not after. Major releases and sometimes minor updates introduce new features for OS or gameplay. However, this means that the size of the OS and game app will grow accordingly.

The cumulative ā€œsize growā€ of both IOS 26.4.x and WOA 3.5.x is obviously too much for older Apple models to use WOA to the fullest.

The same thing has happened to me since the new iPad update. Everything worked fine, albeit in ā€˜fast’ mode. Can currently only open INN and SXM
