Frozen Plane Finder When E-Mailing Aircraft Position

Unit: Ipod Touch 4g

Problem: When I select an aircraft & map position (picture) to email Planefinder then freezes and I have to exit the App and restart to unfreeze Planefinder.

Is this unique to me or have others experienced a similar problem.

Thanks

ADS-B and AIS Security
