Launch in native app

I'm using this button in Custom URL plugin on iOS. Pressing the button takes me to incorrect website. There seems to be no pattern as to which website I get sent to but twitter and facebook seems to be the most common. Any ideas how this can be resolved? Thanks again for awesome forum!

I just added the button to a live app of mine. The first time I clicked the button to take me to Safari, it went to a default Google site. After that, it went to the intended page every time. Don't know why it went somewhere else the first time. Just out of curiosity, why do you want to lead your app users away from your app. Just let them browse the page in the app using just the Custom URL plugin. Then they don't have to close the browser then look on their device for your app again. Dave

The problem is that you cannot navigate back if you stay in the app as there is no option to include a back button.

Its the back button for the browser at the bottom that is not there. In fact it is there if you select it in document behaviour section of the plugin but the user cannot see it because it is the same colour as the background (white). The back button in the navigation bar (top left) takes you away from the website you browsing. So the problem is that the user can go to the website but cannot browse it. Unless somebody knows how to change the colour of the browser back button in Xcode. That will solve my problem. And it wont be necessary to take the user out of app to safari.
