Well,Rajmund, maybe you are just more patient than I am. It just seems like applications are taking quite a while to open these days, as compared to my iPhone 7 Plus or even the 6S, which I had before I turned it in in favor of the 7+. I am also having a lot of trouble with voice dream reader on my mini two, crashing, slow opening, app freezing, etc. I am not having this problem on my iPhone 7 Plus, and I didn't have it on my iPhone 6s. Of course, I suspect that Ed's grandkids won't be using that app. So, the mini two still works, I just think it's showing it's age. Mary
