Some confusing design

This app is good to use with quick UI response and modern looks. However, why it puts the back button on the title of navigation bar? It is really hard to reach this button on the big screen. For me, I like to swipe from left to right to back to the previous menu. But on this app, it just turns to the next news. Need a better back button design.
