I get iOS app crashes all the time -- and not just third party applications. The app store seems particularly buggy and in the 5 months since I've had my iPhone; crashing on multiple occasions.
The worst problem I've ever had is some kind of corruption in the photos app. I thought perhaps it was a corrupt file but I couldn't launch the Photos app to delete it. I couldn't launch the camera app either. There's no way to delete any of the camera roll photos from iTunes either! I went over a month like this until I used a third party desktop application to delete every photo on the phone -- and that didn't work. So I started deleting random cache file in the file system before it finally started working again.
iOS apps crash pretty silently -- they just disappear. That might make the appearance of crashes much smaller.
It was not at the time. I've only been jailbroken since the untethered for iOS 5 came out.
I would have been better off it was jailbroken because I could have more easily navigated the file system and deleted the corrupt image cache right on the device.
