The subject line, "Android starts in an app", is unsurprising to me,
provided starts means "wakes up".  When I wake up my phone it shows the
screen I was last looking at which, 9 times out of 10, is some app or
other.

However it does not show the same one every time when it wakes up which
is what yours is doing, yes?

If by start you mean "wake up", I don't know how to do that.  My phone
starts (in the sense of powering on) in the home screen, but it wakes up
showing the last used screen and I've never wanted to change that.

Sorry I can't help.
