I have a similar issue with many iOS apps I use occasionally. I'll start up the app, weeks after last using it, and instead of the app's main screen it'll take me somewhere deep in the app. The screen where I last left off, weeks ago.

I don't care about that task, that was weeks ago. I'm opening up the app to start a new task right now. Take me to the main screen.

Safari has a similar issue. It will constantly save the last search you did. Every time I want to search, I have to delete the old search term first. Even 10 days after searching that term. A 2-minute timeout would be better.



Is this a fault of the app design or the iPhone? It seems it's up to the app to determine the last open date and switch back to the home screen
