In most cases, if the app won't start or it loads inconsistently, it's because the device (typicaly an iPad) has little to no storage left on it. The solution is simply to remove whatever you don't need from the device e.g. any videos, photos, large attachments or downloaded programmes from apps such as BBC iPlayer. Make sure 'Recently Deleted' album on your Photos app is emptied.
