This. Try resetting by holding down the home and power buttons for 8 seconds. That usually will fix most app crash issues.
Yes, lots. Just had Safari crash 10 times in a row. Switched to Chrome and 5 crashes back to back...
App store crashes almost every time I open it.
Gmail app crashing on open multiple times in a row (gave up after 5 attempts)
mail.app just crashed once on open then opened the second time.
I have tried a restart and the restart while holding home button (forget what that's called) but haven't tried a restore. I guess that's next.

Lots of crashes sound to me like a memory issue...which is why I suggested the reset. Did you happen to have a lot of tabs open in Safari and Chrome when they crashed? Or maybe you just closed a memory intensive app like a graphic-intensive game or something?
It's been happening for a week or two now and I've tried the restarts without any luck. Before, if an app crashed, it would usually load after 3-4 attempts. I figured I'd see how long it'd take and kept trying. I must have something causing a memory leak
A hard reset, as mentioned is a good starting point....after closing any open apps. If this doesn't help, visit a genius. I've yet to have an app crash on my mini. I've owned it since launch and easily use it three hours a day. You might have an actual issue. Hardware or otherwise. If the behaviors persist, bring it in and have them test it.
I don't usually have 7 tabs open...but I do use Chrome often, and usually have at least three or four. It's never crashed on me
Good luck...buy realize this isn't typical behavior. May have a lemon on your hands

have you had the issue since the restore? just curious, mine has been crashing quite a bit this past week. its only a week old, i just did a restore so i will see if it works...
Yeah all my apps except for google+ which crashes once a day.. Annoying but I deal with it
I had a very mysterious, similar issue with my iPad 4. I believe it was the app called Kanon Drum (I love that thing!). If you can nail down what app you think might be a rouge memory leak, try uninstalling it and reinstalling. Worked for me when I did that. Good to hear a restore fixed it too, though.
mine is a piece of crap. tried everything. it's going back to be replaced. disappointing. mac is getting wac.
Girlfriend had been having the same issues, but only for the last few weeks. A quick search & there seems to be quite a few people having issues with Minis on 7.0.4. I've done the usual of closing all the apps via multitasking & doing a soft reboot (Home & power for 10 seconds). Then deleted the main offending apps & reinstalled, did another reboot & now seems to be ok. Just opened/ran/messed around with pretty much every single app & the only app crash I got was when in Settings (she had her same email account set up 5 times & I was deleting the duplicates), apart from that all now seems fine. Will keep an eye on it & will do a fresh iOS install if need be.
