An app crash most likely happens due to memory issues.

When your painting starts to feel slower and mode change starts taking some seconds - that are usually the first signs that your iPad is running low on memory.

- Do you paint a lot in a single layer? Do you have a lot of eraser used in a single layer?  
Many paint and/or eraser strokes need a lot of resources.

- Do you have big imported jpg/png files?  
2000 x 2000 pixels and smaller is recommended for png files. A jpg. can get slightly bigger.

So far - exporting animations only [works with external software or hardware](https://www.tagtool.org/t/how-to-record-a-tagtool-video/144).
