Using Ionic Framework, how do you refresh from localstorage?

I have a problem with refreshing from localStorage.

I have list of items. I can display them. I add one item to array and display.

Everything works fine. I can display. I can see that another object was added to items array.

When I close and reopen app. The alert shows object exists and has correct number of items. Only problem is I dont see the items now in the view.

Is this $scope problem or async problem. The array exists..

Edit:

I have array with three items. I push to localstorage, first. then use data from localstorage to bring into '$scope.items'.

In the view, the data is shown from '$scope.items'. Everything works as expected. I turn off app turn back on, And the array loads properly from localstorage. This is not a problem.

Now, the view has ability to add to array. I can add to array, Again loading from localstorage. There is an alert, which shows that the array has one more object. I can add another item and ..... All of them show up in the view. All updates come from localstorage.

I turn app on and off, there is nothing in the view. This is done on a phone so I cant check localstorage.
