  6. Adding a back button is harder than it seems •

    Manage the browser history so back button goes to right location. • Back button in an app often implies a hierarchy, not simply going to the last screen you were on. • Do you rearchitect your site to create an app hierarchy?

    thing as the browser back button? Should there be an app back button?
