Hello Jerry,
Thank you for the feedback. I imagine you are referring to the BluOS Controller app; I'll forward this feedback to our QA Team.

As a Newbee to BlueOS I'd like to add my comments after a month of UI experience. Don't know about other UI's than Windows and Android.
The meaning of a "Home button".
On the mobile app.: In the upper right hand corner there's a home button shaped as a house contour. Hitting that shows the available sound system/-s, and in my case just one. That is not the meaning of a home button to me with at all.
Having both NAS and and USB disk attached to the BlueOS system there's a long way back home if you enter down a folder path. First click on say the USB link present a list of options (Artists, Album, Songs, Genres, Playlists, Composers and Folder). Usually I go for the folder option which now present me with “//USB” only. What the value of that part as there's just on usb-port on the device. Clicking that I now enter the usb-disk itself presenting with what’s in there. Here’s shown different folders, and I’m even see hidden files like the $RECYCLE.BIN, a RECYCLER folder, a SYSTEM VOLUME INFORMATION folder, and what I came here for the folder with my music collection, MUSIC. I have my music arranged in folders according to artist names. I then go down an artist name, select an album and down here I see the songs.
Say I pick one song for adding to a present playlist and right after want to go back to the home screen, I would have to click backwards arrow 5 times before the 3-bar menu option in the upper left hand corner shows to get me there. In total 6 click to o backwards to the home screen. Here’s where the home button would be handy if it was working as a shortcut to the home screen.
On the Windows controller: The home button is always shown at the "taskbar" at the bottom of the controller windows as an independent "room-button", and the home screen is always is visible on the left of the controller window. So once again using the symbol of a home contour for this is sending us wrong information.
Also, on the home screen we also find the Music Services add-on button. As you only use that on rare occasions, wouldn’t the right place to put it be in Settings?
Cheers

...or just swipe from the left of your screen.

Thanx :) That solves the many back click ... but the use of the home button is still a mystery to me

....it is the "Player Drawer", not the "Home" button.
