      Recently just installed 0.15.0 but MCPE has been crashing on iPhone 5 since 0.13.0, although the crashes were less frequent back then (one every two hours of straight play). Have been playing MCPE on iPhone 5 since forever and only recently installed MCPE 0.15.0 on iPad Mini to test if crashes were limited to the iPhone. They are not. The game now crashes within seconds of loading up a survival game (creative takes a few minutes before it too, crashes). I have not attempted any sort of online gaming experience (ever) and play with the sound muted.

      I was able to play 0.15.0 for a good few hours with no worries, but then it started 'sneezing' as I like to call it. I don't know how to record what happens (even if I could) but I'll try to explain;
      [[NOTE: All of this happened in first-person POV.]]
      1. Loaded 0.15.0 easy-peasy after installing. Ran around in past created world. Everything looked amazing. Was super excited to test out Horse addition.
      3. Loaded up new a Creative world. Mass spawned Horses. (so many colours <3)
      4. Played around with horses for a long while, then the game crashed. I was expecting it, because of the mass-spawning and prior knowledge of the game crashing with an overabundance of spawned mobs. Restarted game, discovered all the horses gone. Poof. They'd all vanished, but I wasn't planning on keeping the world around any longer anyway so I deleted it.
      5. Started new Survival Game. 'Sneezing' began 30mins into gameplay.
      6. Was digging through some dirt, then suddenly found myself looking at the sky #firstsneeze. Returned to digging. 'Sneezed' again. Ended up facing the completely wrong way.
      7. The 'sneezes' were instantaneous. one second; digging/mining/walking/placing blocks, the next, staring at the sky/behind, somewhere weird.
      8. Then 'Ghost Fingers' happened. while working, and the game 'sneezing', 'ghost fingers' crept in as the most annoying spazz attack in the history of shifty glitching controls.
      7. It was like invisible fingers were touching the screen in unison to me digging/mining/walking/placing blocks. this resulted in more 'sneezing' because the display was fritzing out, and random blocks were getting placed everywhere, completely out of my control. I couldn't even go back and break up the offending blocks because the game would 'sneeze' halfway through breaking said blocks.
      [[SIDENOTE: Switched to third-person POV to test if 'sneezing' happened. Only had 'ghost fingers' randomly placing blocks everywhere.]]
      8.Stopped game at that point, Quit to Main, closed the app, and restarted iPhone/iPad. Was the only way to get it to play somewhat normally, although the 'sneezing' would pick up between 10-30mins into game play and the 'ghost fingers' would pick up 5-10mins after the first 'sneeze'. Crashes occurred after that for no reason at all. Could be walking, jumping, falling, sleeping, mining, swimming, riding-- anything. Boom. Dead.
      9. In the last 24hrs the game has had less and less time between starting up a Survival world and 'sneezing'. Now it doesn't even 'sneeze'. It just crashes within minutes of loading up the world.

      Hope you figure out this one, and if I can help in any way, please let me know.
      Cheers,

      P.S. Each device has its own separate worlds. I haven't merged them or played the seeds elsewhere. Both devices have ample data storage space and while I have been playing MCPE on the iPhone 5 for longer, the 'sneezing' and 'ghost fingers' are prominent in both (or were, but now both now just crash). Previously I assumed the game just had issues with my iPhone, but with both devices crashing, with exactly the same updates, I'm not sure what's going on.

      P.P.S There was a bunch of skeleton horses that appeared in one of my Creatives before the 'Sneezing' began. They had weird little .exe's on them. Not sure they're the reason for the 'sneezing' but they were weird. I do have a picture of them, and a picture of when 'ghost fingers' started to plow up farmland where I didn't want it, but couldn't control it.
