Swapping views on the iPhone

Recently, I've been working on an iPhone app with a couple of friends. It involves a splash/start screen (though I guess Apple discourages splash screens), a menu page to select what time of game play, and then the game screen (which is the same for all modes, but just behaves differently).

It seems to be non trivial to transition from one screen to the next in a simple way. I'm trying a few variations, UINavigationController, UIView's which swap in subviews. I don't think that UITabBarController would work for this app.

I am enjoying learning a new programming framework. But it's quite different from other programming I've done in the past.
