@ollydixon I was able to clone your repo, make the necessary changes, and got backward and forward swiping to work (starts at about 6 seconds in):

Not sure if you’re testing on a device or simulator, but the simulator is finicky and your mouse cursor needs to be exactly on the edge that you’re swiping from or just beyond. The backward and forward swiping will not work if you start a swipe on the page itself.
