This has to do with the default behavior of LC and the OS it runs on. By 
default, LC mobile apps quit when they are not frontmost. The behavior 
after that depends on the OS.

On Android, the LC app will remain in RAM until the OS needs the memory, 
at which point it will quit. If the user goes back to the LC app before 
it has been removed from memory, the user will return to the place it 
last left off. If the app has been removed, it re-launches to its 
opening screen.

On iOS the app is not retained in RAM, it always quits. Ralph provided 
the work-around that allows the app to run in the background. It is not 
supported and can fail depending on what the app does. If you use it, 
test to make sure it works reliably.
