You can use a branded splash page that will either fade away or wait for user to click before app opens.

I must add a point of caution some users are not so keen on a splash page, It would be interesting to here other peoples views

I like them, they can set the tone for the app, offer branding etc. The 4 main news apps I use all have one, Slate, BBC, Guardian and The Atlantic, except for the BBC one all open to a 5 tab layout. Simple and elegant. Do you have to use a splash screen? By no means. Can they add something to the app? By all means. Different solutions for different apps mate.

Hi, I would like to see a couple of your best apps just to see what is possible to do. What is the bbc one? can I see them? I wanted to add a splash screen for the logo for branding purposes.

The apps I mention above are not mine, was just throwing out a few of the top news apps to show branding / intro / splash screens. itunes.apple.com/us/app/bbc-news/id364147881?mt=8 http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-atlantic-magazine-digital/id397599894?mt=8 http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/slate.com/id357555242?mt=8
