This bug is repeatable.

Set the open to homepage switch to on

Open the app

Open a bible (I opened the ESV. I don't know if other resources will cause the same behavior)

Close the app

Open the app and it opens to the bible I opened above

Check settings and open to homepage is now off

I am using a first generation iPad

    Hi Fredc,

    This is not a bug.  If you close Logos and start it again, you should be right where you were before - and this is by design.  Most everyone likes to open the app and see they are right where they left off the last time they used it.

    The only reason we added the "Start at Homepage" setting is to stop resource related crashes at startup.  For example: if a particular page in a certain Coptic resource causes a crash, the next time the user opens Logos it will open the same page and it will crash again.  The "Start at Homepage" setting is a way to continue using the app without having to perform a complete reinstall, and it resets to Off after Logos is started.  It is not intended to be a permanent "open to home page" setting.

    Thanks Kevin. I misunderstood the purpose and functionality of the feature. Thanks for clearing that up. By the way I am on the forums in the middle of the night because I have PT job to supplement my church income. What's your excuse?

    Where I was it was 2:53 AM. It was much easier to stay up all night as a teenager than it is 35 years later.
