When I touch an app icon, the splash image expands and then the app shows the
first card.
I usually leave an app by the five finger pull. The image of the current card
shrinks. This is similar to the shrink of pushing the home button.

LC iOS apps don't suspend - they only quit. We might get the ability to suspend
them in the future, but we don't have it right now.

I'm still learning how things are supposed to be on iOS, so this is just a

Oh right, sorry...misunderstood. No, you can't tell the method by which the
user has switched or quit from an app, as far as I've been able to tell. But
it's probably not a big issue - I don't think the average user uses the "task
list" method of switching to other apps.

It used to be complete, but when RunRev took the engine over, they neglected to
update any of that information since then. Because it's somehow hardcoded, and
doesn't actually expose any OS-delivered information directly, it's been wrong,
misleading and/or simply deprecated since then.
