To resolve issues with the BBC Sounds app crashing while scrolling down the home page, you can follow these step-by-step troubleshooting actions:

1. Update the App: Ensure you have the latest version of the BBC Sounds app. App updates often include fixes for bugs and performance improvements. Go to the App Store on your iPad, search for BBC Sounds, and check for any available updates. If an update is available, install it.

2. Restart the App: Force-close the BBC Sounds app. To do this, double-tap the Home button or swipe up from the bottom of the screen (if your iPad has no Home button) to view the app switcher. Swipe up on the BBC Sounds app to close it completely. Open it again to see if the problem persists.

3. Restart Your Device: Sometimes, restarting your device can help solve performance issues. To restart your iPad, press and hold the power button until the slider appears, then slide to power off. Turn it back on after a minute.

4. Clear Cache: If possible, clear the app's cache to mitigate crashes caused by stored data. You may need to uninstall and reinstall the app, as iOS does not allow direct cache clearing for individual apps.

5. Check for iOS Updates: Ensure your iPad's operating system is up-to-date. Go to Settings > General > Software Update. If an update is available, download and install it.

6. Check Internet Connection: A weak or unstable internet connection can cause apps to crash. Make sure you are connected to a reliable Wi-Fi network.

7. Reinstall the App: If the app continues to crash, uninstall and then reinstall the BBC Sounds app. To uninstall, press and hold the app icon until it jiggles, then tap the "x" and confirm deletion. Download the app again from the App Store.
