Here some sample code of something you can do. You will need to implement your own logic to determine if the user is already logged in. But you could possibly save user Information using window.localStorage.

```
$ionicPlatform.ready(function() {
  if (AuthService.isLoggedIn()) {
    $state.go('tab.home');
  }
  else {
    $state.go('auth.welcome');
  }
...(rest of your ready code)
});
```

or if you want to be safe, that the localstorage is not cleared after os updates or something use persistent storage (a json-file) or sqlite plugin.
