Q: Safari app iOS Start/Home page vs OS X ?
I was researching the possibility of setting a start or home page in Safari on iPads used in a workplace environment.The users have found it difficult to adjust to having desktop browsers function differntlly from tablets. The information provided at Apple Support search is only relavent for Safari for OS X. I wanted to know about Safari for IOS. Just why is it necessary for there to be differnt functioality within apps for the respective platforms? Don't the respective design teams collaborate?
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013), OS X Yosemite (10.10)

The iOS Safari app feature that allows setting of given webpage via "Add to Home Screen" has not proven to be a satisfactory solution. We use a Medical cloud based EHR which assigns users to an appropriate data server upon login. If the user does not logout, then the browser attempts to acces the last data sever or page being used when shutdown. This may perpaps be a shortcoming in the desigh of the cloud based EHR program. It would be nice, if after quiting the app or sleep mode, the EHR program would redirect to it's login page.
I wanted to edit my original post, but settled on a reply to provide further clarification. Any thoughts on this subject would be appreciated!
