    Well for me not even the back gesture works, I just have to force close the app if I don't want to answer a survey lol

      It takes a bit of practice, but I got it to work after a few tries.

        I might be dense, but what's the back gesture exactly?

        EDIT: Got it, swiping from left to right, starting from the very border of the screen. Not super intuitive but simple enough

          That's Apple's native way of going back across macOS and iOS no? I'm not an Apple user and even I've come across this when handling a family member's device for a few minutes

          Maybe Android's visual ←back button is the way to go after all instead of hoping someone will accidentally discover implicit gestures

            It’s only intuitive when you see a page slide from the right to the left. Then you know you can go back to the previous page with a left to right slide. I’ve never seen it used to close a modal

            Android can work either way. I turn off the gestures because I prefer the explicit back button.
