With regards to your issue, mine does it as well, it could be due to not enough memory available. Try close some of your open apps. This can be done by double tapping the home button, and holding down on one of the apps. It will begin to shake and a red no entry sign will appear. If you click the red no entry button, the app will close.
Now that you are here you will never want to leave, so have the time of your life.
Regards,
Chays
