    I have been looking back to my all applications which I have launched some of them are of good to use and some game apps are addictive to play.

    But in most the reviews I found one common issue that is, doesn’t load or crashes or something similar to this…. I don’t know, what would be the possible reason. These apps works well when I am testing on my devices, but crashes on few other users device.

    I just want to know that considering, Beta Tester would solve my problem.

    Usually an app would not crash, I find that half these people that report crashes are on older devices and way older software. They always blame the developers first without considering if it is there device or Software.

    Or because you have too many applications running at the same time there isn't enough memory for other apps so it closes by itself . When you're not using something , close it .

    This is partly Apple's fault. The idea was that when an app required more RAM than available, already open apps would automatically close themselves. If games are crashing due to memory issues and there are still other apps in the multitask dock then the iOS isn't really living up to its promise.
    In my opinion, most beta testers don't really know much about why crashes happen, so all you really need is to find someone that can send you a crash log.

    i agree with triggywiggy, i'm using a jailbroken device, which is usually associated with troubles and such, but i've tried to keep it up to date and clean and i can't say i have a bad experience with crashing apps. Very few games have crashed repeatedly on me, i can just think of 2 or 3 at the moment... and this is out of around 300 at least.

    Thank you once again guys, but idea of getting crash log before releasing the app would be much better to avoid any kind of future issues.

    You people were a great help thanks.

    regards
