Litchi, iOS and Bluetooth = crash?

[Jimxms]

As per my earlier thread I've been having hell with Litchi crashing on my iPad mini 4 whenever I tried to open the app.

However I think I found out what is causing it...

Looks like you solved it. I use an ipad with no issues,but no bluetooth. Enjoy Litchi it is fantastic.

Glad you got it figured out! As usually happens, there was something else going on. Makes sense, these apps take a lot of resources and sharing with Bluetooth apparently was too much! So so hope you enjoy it and, again, do yourself a favor and read the manual. Double check the parts about straight and curved paths and how those 2 setting affect what happens at waypoints. That has come as a surprise to many.

Interesting, I had similar problems at one stage with Dji Go app on IPad mini 3 16Gb. Turns out it was running out of memory - I cleared off some old videos, closed all unused apps & it worked. Is it possible you are running out of memory too? (Shutting off Bluetooth may be just freeing up enough resources)

Unfortunately not. I literally just did a factory reset on the iPad yesterday in an attempt to fix the crashing. It has no other apps installed.

I only stumbled on the Bluetooth fix when I accidentally put the iPad in flight mode.

I've used my Phantom 4 with my iPhone 6s, my iPad Mini 4, and my iPad Pro, all with wifi and Bluetooth up and running. No issues. I did have an issue with my iPhone 6s crashing with Litchi. It turns out that I was getting a huge battery drain during a mission. If I flew with the phone at less than about 40% charge, it would suck the juice down to the point where the phone saw no battery left and just shut down. It was weird. When I rebooted the phone, it would show 30-40% battery again.
