Massive update, moving along really nicely!

The one thing I'm missing most I think is swiping left-to-right to go back. I got so used to it with Sync, and having three swipe actions plus swiping to go back is no nice as it lets you use the app one handed so easily.

Thanks!

Swiping to go back should be something that's configured in your operating system. For example, on my Android phone, I can swipe from either the left or right side of the screen, inward, and it will take me to the previous screen. On the upcoming iOS version, you can swipe from the left side of the screen to the right, and it will take you back one screen.

I must have really short and stubby fingers or something because swiping from the edge of the screen is kind of uncomfortable for me. Like I have to kind of stretch to reach the opposite edge with my thumb. And swiping from the right to go back kind of hurts my brain haha. But I suppose that is an edge case and it works for most people.
