HORRIBLE NO GOOD AT ALL

I was so excited about getting this app, I saw my friend play it and it looked awesome! When it finished downloading I worked fine until I typed my birthday and hit enter. Then it said join Pokemon club and I asked my freind what did she click, she said that didnt come up, so I clicked it anyway because there was no other option then i had to type in all this information but I could hardly type one word until the whole screen went blank so I opened it again and it did the same thing! I could play at all and it was a waist of space in my iPad! Please fix so I can play!???????????

Eggs are cool about Pokémon GO, v1.31.0
