I have used both iPhone 6 and iPhone X, and app crashes all the time. I get one good flight in, and then went out today and every 10 seconds it crashes. Makes using the Mavic almost useless since I have to keep trying to get the app to work.

There is a known problem with the last releases of iOS,  11.x.x  -maybe this is the problem... (also for comment #7)

I was flying over water, which had nothing to do with the problem,  it just added to the anxiety level a bit.  The Go 4 app was crashing  continually.  Over the course of a 10 minute flight, it probably crashed at least 5 to 6 times.  I was using  ipad air 2.   The app didn't indicate that there was any pending updates, but it turned out that there was.    I downloaded the latest go 4 app from the site, and installed it.   Fired the app back up and it crashed as before.   I uninstalled and reinstalled the app.  The latest update combined with un-installing and re-installing the app seems to have resolved the crashing problem.    I should add the crashing was also occuring when I was just looking at photos within the go 4 app.

This same type of crashing happened once before,   no undeates were noted or "required" but the app kept crashing.    I followed the process noted above and the abending stopped.

Is this the first time this has happened?
I fly the P4Pro with an Ipad Mini 4 and do not have any issues.
Which IOS version are you on because there have been several updates in recent times.

I thought the crashes may have had something to do with a recent ios updated, but based upon the stability after the go 4  uninstall /reinstall,  I feel pretty confident saying the issue is with DJI and not Apple.. I didn't have to re-install or  or path  ios.

Just an update.... after  a day of  the app crashing repeatedly,  as noted above I uninstalled and reinstalled the go 4 app.    It seems that resolved the crashing problem I had, because the app was crashing  without even being connected to the controller.  

I flew today, more to see if the app was stable, and it seems like the problem has been resolved.  I only flew 1 battery, or about 20  minutes or so , but the app didn't crash once.

I can't prove or disprove what I'm about to say,  but today's flight seems to bear out what I believe was going on:

I think that somehow,  DJI may have been polling the app, perhaps suggesting that DJI was trying  to communicate there was an update.   The app said the software was up to date  prior to my app crash filled flight.   After the update,  the  app appears to be stable,  and by the way  there was a more  current version of the  go 4 app.  The version I now have gives the "quiz".  The previous verison
I was running  didn't have any  pilot quizzes associated with it.

Hi there, the crash is due to the iOS, it should be resolved with the iOS 11.2, please kindly update your mobile device to iOS 11.2 and then remove the app and install it again. Please note to do a backup like syncing the flight record and saving the pics and videos before your reinstallation.
If you are running iOS 11.2 now, please help to provide the name with the mobile device, the version of the app and your DJI account, as well as the crash logs. The crash logs of the app need to be exported by iTools, please install iTools on your computer----Toolbox----Advanced Features.
Thank you for your help.

Hi Orbis, for the app crash issue, please refer to my reply on 17#. For your experience, I would like to learn more about the jello effect. Could you please tell me which drone you are using? Please do a gimbal calibration first, and avoid flying in a strong wind environment. Looking forward to your feedback.
