So I have a launch day 5S and since day one I've noticed a few apps crashing. I thought maybe it was because the phone and iOS 7 was new but almost 2 weeks later and apps are crashing constantly

Even Apple apps now. I was just texting and the default SMS crashed mid sentence. I have no idea what to do and can't exactly exchange my phone (Verizon has a one exchange policy).

Any ideas??
 
I've actually had the same thing happen.
I didn't see anything here about it though and kind of figured it was my phone.
If it keeps up Ill make an appointment and get it swapped.
 
My 5S also has a ton of crashing apps. None are first party though. That would worry me.

My RDP app for work works perfectly fine on all my co-workers devices on iOS7 but not my 5S, so I figured it was something to do with 64 bit, etc.
 
I have had some apps (mostly Settings) due to memory management and kernel dumps ... all feedback to Apple ...

I think the kernel is still in early stages and needs refinement (applying Android to iOS :D)
 
Restore the phone to factory and don't restore from backup. Crashes may be due to old settings/preference files.
 
A lot of my apps are crashing. Mail. Safari. Messages. Some 3rd party apps. My phone randomly restarts 2-3 times a day while using these apps.
 
I rebooted my phone the way it was mentioned above but when I pressed down everything went black and wouldn't come back on. I had to hit the power button again for the phone to boot up.

Ever since then no crashes Yet though.
