I'm not getting an unusual number of "Bart Screens" but I have a similar issue. For about a week now, the app crashes very often, making it exceedingly difficult to play the game. It generally occurs when I select a character to give them a job or check the time left on their job. When I open the app again, the last few pre-crash actions taken revert to their previous state.
I've tried every possible order of reinstalling the app, logging out of and back into Origin, closing the app, switching between WiFi and Cellular, and rebooting my phone. The fact that the actions are undone leads me to believe the crash occurs due to a communication error when selecting the character (or very soon before).
I play the game in a theoretically favorable environment. I use an iPhone 5, 40 Mbps cable internet, and 802.11n dual-band WiFi. It's a very stable connection. This makes me think the problem is with either EA's servers or the app itself.
