I’m trying to get my app to start up faster. When I downloaded the app to my phone (iOS Apple 7+ iOS 13.6), there is a 1 or 2 seconds delay from the user clicks on the app icon before it actually starts my code blocks or splash page. Is there a way to make show the app faster and have my splash screen appear faster? Is this a known issue and is being worked on? Does this happen also to others? Thanks, Marco ---

I believe the team has/is considering custom splash screens. For the time being it will be like this for all of us. The thunkable default 1-2 second splash screen followed by your own splash screen or other 1st screen of your app. Maybe @Domhnall would have more input on this? ---
