On my old device, that is an iPad 2, it crashed all the time (sometimes already when loading the world). My current solution is to reduce the render distance, and this seems to help a lot. Now it only crashed every now and then.

To reduce render distance go to: Settings > Video > Show Advanced Video Settings, and set this to On. Now some more options reveals, and you can set Render Distance: 6 chunks (or even 4 chunks).
