After I restored my iPhone 5 from my iCloud backup from my 4S many apps instantly crashed and could not be opened.
With some apps, I deleted and redownloaded them which fixed the problem, but doing this deleted my application data as expected. I used Falldown as a test app to see if app data would be deleted, it was.
I noticed that a lot of the apps were ones that were scaled for iPhone 5 or ones that have been updated recently.
If anybody has any suggestions to fix the corrupted/non-functional apps or any way to redownload the apps without deleting them, please let me know. Thanks!
