Android Back Button Inconsistent Across App

[bedpan]

Hey Folks. New user up in in Canada on Vue2 as of Friday. So far I am very happy with it. It has already saved me about $15 a month in some quick small changes. Hopefully I can find a few more savings still.

One issue I have found is with the Android App. The back button is inconsistent and does not follow android norms most of the time. For example from the home screen if I click on any of my 8 circuits or main it takes me to that page. Now I want to return to home again so I hit the back button and the app exits. However if I go into settings and click on an option, say account, I see my email address and logout options. Here I click the back button and it takes me back to settings.

I have exited the app SO many times browsing my circuits. Its a minor issue but it does drive me nutty 🙂

Anyways just wanted to share..

That’s just Android. That back button on Android is always inconsistent and stupid.

Android is more flexible compared to iPhone in terms of using the back button. Because of that though it means you hit these inconsistencies from app to app. Saying that though the emporia app is inconsistent within the app itself. In some sections the back button goes back (as it should) it others it exits the app. It should only exit the app if you are at the home screen.

Well looks like the latest release fixed the issue. Not sure I like how things are hidden but I find it far more usable and the back button acts a little more consistent throughout.
