Floating Back Button

You always want users to have a smooth and enjoyable experience when using your websiter and app. The ability to navigate backwards plays a big role in that experience, specially in a hybrid solution like MobiLoud.

Website users are already familiar with the browser back feature, and to keep that experience consistent in the app, you can enable a floating back button that will allow your app users to easily navigate to the previous page in a smooth and familiar manner.

Why a Back Button is Essential for Your App

• Intuitive navigation:  People are used to having a back button in mobile apps. It's a familiar way to move between pages, making your app feel user-friendly and polished.
• Increased engagement:  A smooth back-and-forth flow encourages shoppers to explore more of your site, boosting their chances of finding something they love.
