Looking for a way to access my daughter's Ipad to copy her Minecraft worlds before deleting and re-installing the app... (it started crashing on opening, just white screen, quick Mojang logo, then revert to home screen).

She had built some amazing worlds, and I'd hate for her to lose them.

There must be some third-party app that works like Windows Explorer, that would allow me to access the Ipad files, right?

Or am I missing some easier way?

Thanks

Nope. Ios sandboxes each app and they can not cross pollinate. You won't get an app that can back up another app.

You can with iTunes on a computer though. Full backup easily, pick and choose just your worlds more difficult, but you can.

You just have to have a computer to do it with, no simple app job

Only way is to do a full encrypted backup in iTunes. Once you are ready to reinstall on the iPad or a newer one, then you restore the encrypted backup via iTunes.

I have never played Minecraft, but I would think the worlds she built are saved in the game’s server and not on the actual iPad. Either way, the best way to ever restore an iPad is with a full encrypted backup to a computer via iTunes.

Thinking Game Center should also have her games backed up

I'm not sure about Minecraft but..

hook up to iTunes to backup, scroll down and there is a section that allows data downloading to the main computer and not within iTunes.

I have a number of apps that allow you to do this

Backup then restore in iTunes. Easy.
