Add a setting to skip the Timepage logo splash screen so the app opens directly to the calendar view.

I am moving over to Timepage and it looks great overall, but the splash screen on launch is a real downer.
I added the widget to my lock screen, but every time I tapped it, it shows the logo instead of my schedule. I removed the widget because of that.
I get that some setup has to happen on launch, but other apps handle that quietly in the background without putting a branded screen in front of you. The splash and the setup don't have to be tied together.
A simple toggle in settings, something like "Skip splash screen on launch", would fix this for the people who notice it, without changing anything for anyone else. Opt-in, no disruption to new users.
It would make the app feel significantly cleaner for everyday use.

Hi Riana. Thanks for your suggestion. There's a lot of setup that goes into preparing the app's UI before you see it. The idea of the splash screen is that it is only ever visible for the absolute minimum time necessary, and is better than a plain black screen.
Having said that, following your message, I've checked opening the app from widgets, and there are currently some paths where it looks like it is appearing unnecessarily. That seems to be a bug, and so I'll try to get it fixed for the next release of the app. Please give the next version a try and you should see an improvement.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention!
