Answer: First, check to verify that your device is listed as a supported device:

Unsupported devices may display poor performance or crashing. We are always working to support as many hardware types as possible, and we recommend subscribing to that article for the latest additions to supported devices. Note that Rockstar Games has not tested on jailbroken phones or custom ROMs, and we are unable to guarantee functionality on modified devices.
If your device is supported, here are some troubleshooting steps that may solve crashing issues on Grand Theft Auto III 10th Anniversary Edition:
Close Background Applications
Crashing may be caused by playing GTA III while other applications are running in the background. To fix this:
* iOS: Double-tap the Home button and close all other applications.
* Android: Use an application such as Advanced Task Killer (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rechild.advancedtaskkiller&hl=en) to minimize the number of processes running in the background while playing GTA III
Reboot the Device
It may also help to restart the device and run GTA III from the fresh boot with no other applications running. To reboot the device:
* iOS: Hold down the "Sleep/Awake" button for a few seconds and then slide the off button to confirm the reboot. Let the device sit for around 30 seconds to ensure the shut-down has completed and then hold down the On button to turn the device back on.
* Android: Some phones have their own unique soft boot methods, but the safest bet is to turn the phone off, wait 30 seconds, and then turn it back on.
Hard Reset the Device if Still Crashing After Rebooting
