Hello there! I need help with an issue: I want to go from screen1 to screen2 and put a text to a label on screen2 (actually I want to load an image on screen2 but that does not matter: Or for everybody to understand: On Screen 1 is a text in a label, I want to press a button next to the label and then it should go to screen2 and set a label on screen2 to the same text. ![Screenshot from 2018-02-06 08-02-15](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/2X/9/94e03b0519d95fcd6cc93b96180793f40ab7ccfd.png) ![Screenshot from 2018-02-06 08-02-44](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/2X/5/59f03312219040311b7fcf2417fe277fa0d661ea.png) I even tried to use the clock component: ![Screenshot from 2018-02-06 08-03-59](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/2X/6/63eaf66f0748b5053027c9e52c65f5eb90a6ac11.png) …but was not possible! The only thing way to do so was this (I had to click Button12 on Screen2): ![Screenshot from 2018-02-06 08-07-15](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/2X/1/16123d490751eed44fb2a4086ec87147b08e9c3c.png) What am I doing wrong? Thx in advance, User81 ---

As far as I can tell the Screen.Starts block only runs when the app is loaded. The lack of communicating between screens is not good… I made a REFRESH button on the consumer screen - but that is not a good solution. Timers can work - but it seems that concurrency issues show up when writing to a database on one screen while reading from the same database on another screen (e.g. when the app loads). ---

My solution is to change screens with DrawerNavigator. That works. When the Navigator starts the screen, data is correct transferred with local storage. Would that help? ---

thx @losmobilos and @rollke for your reply 😀🤗🤗. that saves me a lot of testing. I will check the Solution with the drawerNavigator later on. What else could be a thing to consider, is to build a one-screen-app. this was the way to go in nearly every thunkable-android-app I made, because Screen-Switching always had bad implications. Maybe some of the developers can make a statement on this?! cheers, User81 ---

Sadly it does not work with the tab navigator. Maybe that could be fixed? ---

All good things come in threes… Finally the StackNavigator was the perfect solution for me: I was able to send values with using the LocalStorage from one screen to another. ![Screenshot from 2018-02-06 23-29-43](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/2X/7/79ba985f6c59686fe8fa1d96ce120ffdd60440a6.png) Thank you guys once again for your support and of course big hand for developer of StackNavigator 😃!!! ---

Here is a small test app for screens. Starting with a start screen you can change screens with a DrawerNavigator. Each screen stores its name and tells from which screen it was chosen.

Same test with TabNavigator and StackNavigator does not work… Question to the Thunkable Team: Do these Navigators trigger Start-events to screens when changed? ---
