Applications that won't open on your iPhone may be corrupted due to an improper download, and can be corrected by deleting and re-downloading the application to your iPhone. According to Apple, problems with your application may be due to outdated firmware on your iPhone, which can be updated through the iTunes program when the iPhone is connected to your computer. If the application remains unusable, it may be incompatible with the iPhone's current firmware, which requires waiting for the developer to release an update for the application.
Instructions

2. Tap the "X" on the top left corner of the icon to remove the application from your device, and click "No Thanks" to skip rating the application.
