Many users experience app crashes, but fortunately, there are several straightforward steps you can take to try and fix the problem. Whether it’s checking the server status or updating your device, this article will guide you through some simple solutions to get your MoneySavingExpert app back up and running.

Solution 1: Check MoneySavingExpert Server Status

MoneySavingExpert has faced outages before, and there is a good possibility that it might be facing downtimes now. We suggest you check Downdetector to check if MoneySavingExpert is down.

However, if MoneySavingExpert is up and running fine, let’s try a few more methods to troubleshoot and resolve the issue.

Solution 2: Restart Your Device

A simple yet effective starting point is to restart your device. This basic troubleshooting step can resolve minor glitches and improve your device’s performance, ensuring a smoother operation of MoneySavingExpert.

Here’s how you can restart:

   • For iPhone SE (1st generation), 5s, 5c, or 5: Press and hold the top power button.
2. Slide to power off when prompted and wait for about 30 seconds.
   
3. Power your device back on by holding the power button until the logo appears.
