So, yeah, that’s odd. I’ve moved items around in my navigation tree so that About Me is on top, so I can work on it (this issue was talked about in another post), but it seems that when I compile my app, it starts up with whatever screen I had at the top of my navigation tree instead of starting with Screen1.

Glitch or feature? Will I have to go in and arrange my navigation tree to lay out how I want the screens to appear? I assumed Screen1 was always the “starter”

Danny,

Sorry that it’s not clear but, as you’ve noticed, your app starts at the Screen/Navigator at the top of the navigation tree. That is a feature.
