I still take strong exception to the rule that the answer to a buggy or hung
app is to uninstall it.  Sometimes it is just wedged and needs to be stopped
and restarted. This has happened to me with browser (uninstall it? hah!),
gmail, messaging, as well as various 3rd-party apps.

Unless you can model every state the app might possibly be in, including all
variables of net access/loss thereof, data or data corruption, memory
pressure, etc, it is unreasonable to say "oh it must be trash, uninstall
it."
