I have this debate quite a bit with my friends with regards to how apps crash in Android vs. iOS. In iOS when an app crashes it takes you back to the home screen. In Android I believe the highest exception is shown to the user.
I like the way Android does it because when I have a recurring problem with an app I can eventually find the solution to the app crashing through a Google search. I think for most people the iOS way is probably better. That puts the onus on the app provider to do research and read the reviews to try to fix the problem.
Windows Phone is a mix of the two in my experiences. Sometimes it shows a stack trace and sometimes it just kicks you back to the Start screen. I believe Microsoft made certain rules like if an action takes longer than 10 seconds to perform than it will automatically boot you back to the Start screen.
