My wife has an older iPad running IOS 12.5.5. A couple of days ago her kindle app stopped staying on the screen. The app is running but stays minimized. If you click on it you get the kindle splash screen for a few seconds and then back to the iPad home screen. I removed the kindle app, rebooted the iPad and did a fresh kindle install but the problem remains the same. I'm guessing this likely began with the Kindle 6.56 update on 19 Apr.

Others seeing this? Any recommendations short of her buying a newer iPad (that she doesn't need other than this problem)?

Thanks,

I have the same issue with my older iPad Air (original) on iOS 12.

Problem started when I installed the latest kindle app, so it's definitely the new version that has the issue

Interesting that Amazon would do something to cause a bunch of people to have to buy a new iPad :)

If it was Apple, then I would agree......I don't think Amazon makes much profit on selling current Apple devices. ;)
