iPad 1 & iOS 5 slower

**mikec** · 29th November 2011, 10:41 PM

Has anyone noticed this ?
Games I was testing on iPad 1 & iOS 4 worked fine but now with the latest iOS exporter and iOS 5 they seem to only just run. Other things seem to run slower too such as typing it just slows down and pauses etc...

What is your framerate set to? Is the vsync option set?
Which extensions do you use? Any transitions?

Any information about your app would help

Hi Andos,
I did a bit of research and it seems lots of ipad 1 owners are having slowdown issues with all apps and speed in general. I have turned off icloud on the ipad and now things run much faster. Not as fast as ios4 but much better. I don't think my problems are related to ios exporter.

Hi mikec, the system is stolen IOS5 lot of RAM for the apps, remember that this only has 256 MB. I did a test with an engine that I'm testing and iPhone 4 (512 MB Ram) runs perfectly with parallax scrolling stage and 16 characters with full animation. The iPad achieved to run the same engine but with 2 characters (should be able to be 4 characters). Which tells me that the IOS takes more RAM on iPad 1 than the same iPhone.
