It is a quite frustrating thing that your iPad turns into blue color and your tablet reboots when you are using one of iPad apps. The "iPad Blue Screen of *****" issue leads to our iPhone unresponsible and will affect our normal mobile life a lot. It seems that it's most frequent to U.S. T-Mobile users. iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 5S and others are affected, so there doesn't seem any device related problem. If you are also faced with the "iPad Blue Screen of *****" issue unfortunately, no worries, here are several solutions for you to fix it.

1. Update or Delete the App
2. Hard Reset Your iPad
3. Update to the Latest iOS Version
4. Restore iPhone to Factory Settings
5. Turn off iCloud Sync

Tracey Have a look at the following apple support communities document https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2696469?start=0&tstart=0 particularly the last message it should help you.

If you've got a locked up iPad app or otherwise misbehaving iPad, and want to reboot / reset your iPad, simply hold the sleep and home buttons together until the iPad restarts.
You'll see the shutoff slider come up first, but just keep holding. The screen will go blank and the Apple logo will reappear as the iPad reboots.
Note: this does not reset any data on your iPad. This is just a restart, equivalent to rebooting your computer.

There are many things you might be doing wrong but slow battery charge is a problem with the new iPad. The battery is actually a lot bigger than the iPad 2 which means it is going to take you much longer to charge.
Use the provided charger and don't charge from your computer. It is almost twice as slow to do it plugged into a computer. Charge it at night to give it the most time to charge as possible. I usually turn it off so programs don't run and slow down the charging speed. Every little bit helps.
I can help you with other things too if you ask.

The iPad 3 is not yet available, yet thousands of designs for cases and covers have already been made for this new apple product. Decide what colour you want your ipad 3 cases to have, and what design. This is not all! Not at all! Due to the many hot apple iPad 3 accessories available you will also be able to choose the material out of which your accessory will be made. Anything from wood to titanium. Maybe an interesting plastic? Flexible rubber? Or maybe aluminium? What will it be?
