Startup screen setting not working properly
For some reason, the option that allows you to select the startup screen doesn't seem to work properly. I don't know if it's a "feature" or a bug, but everytime i start the app, the screen only displays the last view displayed on exit. The startup screen setting will only be taken into account when I reboot my device.
It would be nice to have a startup screen that really "reset" the view to the desired screen everytime you start the app.
I'm running android 2.3.4 and the last version of Ultimate To-do list
Ant

This is due a common misunderstanding about how Android handles running apps. When you return to your home screen or switch to another app, Android will keep our app in memory if it has enough system resources to do so. If you then return to the app, the last screen viewed as displayed because the app never actually exited.
Android will shut down the app if it needs to free up resources for another running app. If this occurs, then the startup screen will display when you return to the app.
If you are interested, feel free to submit a new feature request to have the startup screen brought to the front anytime the app is brought to the foreground (even if it is still running). Or, another option would be an on-screen button or command that takes the user directly to the startup screen.
