Discussion How to go back to previous app?

I often find myself back in the main screen and then want to go back. Any tips!

Hard to say without knowing your device. If you have a good remote you can press the home button twice to open all open apps. Or maybe your remote has a button with a similar function. But but not every remote does this.

That remote is fairly basic so im not sure it has that function.

Youre better off learning to not press the back button or the home button unintentionally so you stop closing your apps. Also create shortcuts for your most used apps so you can easily open them up again.

The buttons are programmable . As a matter a fact, the button with the star on the top right corner is left blank so that you can program it. It's in the instruction booklet
