Implement swipe back/drag back gesture with transition

ionic-v1

I have the following code:

personal-info.html

<ion-view view-title="Personal Information">
  <ion-nav-buttons side="left">
    <button class="button button-icon icon  ion-ios-arrow-left" ng-click="doTheBack()" nav-direction="back"></button>
</ion-nav-buttons>
  <ion-content class="padding" on-swipe-right="swipe('right')">
    <div class="list card">
      <div class="item item-divider">Recent Updates</div>
      <div class="item item-body">
        <div>
          There is a fire in <b>sector 3</b>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </ion-content>
</ion-view>

and my controller

.controller('PersonalInfoCtrl', function($scope,$ionicNavBarDelegate) {

$scope.swipe = function (direction) {
             if(direction == 'right') 
               $ionicNavBarDelegate.back();
           }

  $scope.doTheBack = function() {
  window.history.back();
};
});

The code above works but I want to be able to swipe back with a nice transition just like the native iOS transition. I have read that this feature comes by default with the framework but somehow it doesn’t work for my app.
