I have found on occasion the 3rd party apps on my phone fail to start properly - the splash may show for a second or so but then I get returned to the home screen. It seems lots of other people are having the same problem. From personal experience I have found two causes for the problem:
1) The iPhone has been connected to an iTunes library that has 'someone else' logged in. In my case, I changed the email address my iTunes account was registered to. (My phone then started trying to do things under my 'old account', or was perhaps confused that the apps were downloaded under account X but was now trying to authorise against account Y).
2) Bad firmware update experience. Both times I have installed firmware updates third party apps have stopped working.
Looking across forums people suggests removing and re-installing the applications which is far from ideal.
A simple workaround that does not involve deleting the apps (and seems to work fine for me) is to download and install a free app from the store. Once it has finished, the other apps should start working again. |

This did not delete all information as per the new offload feature, and she no longer gets the error. I hope this helps others struggling with the issue especially after an update.
