No back button

Fantastic app. Surfaces great art content from all over the world. So much to learn and experience. I couldn’t care less about the selfie feature but why oh why is there no back button? So many times, deep in some interesting corner of the app/world of art, I’ve accidentally clicked what looks like the back button at the top left to completely lose everything I was looking at. Re-browsing is no fun solution. Strange omission.

Nothing in Cork on the app

Nearest ‘nearby’ recommendation was in Dublin, 140 miles away.

No back button?!

Well it’s there, but you can’t access it on iphone. Doesn’t seem to work properly on iPad either. Did anyone test this app properly before deployment?
Also, can’t use AR feature on iPad 11”.
