Why do some of my apps not work anymore?

I have some sweet apps on my iPhone that I used a lot that don't work anymore. Mainly just funkbox and instagram.
When I click on them (or wherever you call clicking on an iPhone) they start to load for like 2 seconds and then they close. It's a real bummer cause funkbox was fuckin sweet when it worked.
Anyone have any idea why it's doing that?

Because you touch yourself at night.
Seriously, no idea. I'd wipe your iPhone after backing it up. Might need an update

Or an update might interfere with the apps

do u know if u have a lot of apps running in the background? u may be close to using all your available ram.
to check to see what apps u have running in the background, u double click the circle button w/ the square in it, a little row should pop up at the bottom of your screen.
all the apps you see in this row are apps you have running in the background, essentially taking up memory. press and hold on an app and they should all wiggle w/ a minus sign above them. click minus sign and app will disappear. do this until u have no apps left, then try opening up funkbox, etc.
have u tried a hard restart (i.e. power down, power back up)? they say that some updates take up a lot of memory, and that u should hard restart after you do updates in order to free this memory back up.
and yea funkbox is the bees

If you have an iphone 3, it's because you have an iphone 3. They say the os4 works with it, but in fact, it destroys it. I'm currently suffering through a destroyed by OS4 iphone.

Aen knows his shit. I had to upgrade because my phone kept crashing and dying. I gave it mouth to mouth, but that voided the warranty

Hmm.. I just didn't do anything and funkbox worked again.
When I do that double click thing it just takes me to the phone part.
It probly won't keep working though. Should I get that task killer app or whatever to kill my other apps when I'm not using them?
