Here you can uninstall some apps that you don't use. Additionally you can back up your photos and videos in the iCloud and remove them from your library. Also see this help page for more details: https://support.apple.com/HT201656.

4 - Make sure your Internet connection is enabled and you have a stable signal. You may need to refresh your Internet connection. Here is how you can do it:

Reboot your modem if you are using Wi-Fi.
Restart your device.
Ensure you are connected to the Internet and you have a stable signal once again.

5 - Make sure your game is updated to the latest version.

Open the App Store app on your device > Tap your profile icon at the top of the screen > See if Cradle of Maya is in the list of available updates and tap the Update button against it. If your game is up-to-date, you will find it under “updated recently” at the end of the list and it will have the Open option.

In case it didn't help, please send us the detailed description of the problem and your game saves. IMPORTANT: Please specify what happened before the game crashed:

Did it crash when you opened the game?
Did it crash when you were playing a match-3 level?
