Why does the facebook app keep closing?

[Anna]

On the Facebook pp on my iPad, it closes by itself sometimes.When using it, it sometimes just flashes back to the iPad home screen, by itself and its so annoying, why does it do it?
And I'm aware of this happening with other people too, bit weird

Mine did this for ages too, especially when I clicked on a photo or tried to watch a video. I found that if I delete my icons (when you double tap on the home screen and delete them off the bottom) more often then it works fine
