I have been testing out the Side Menu functionality and everything appears to be working correctly on IOS. However, the Side Menu does not close when I swipe on an Android device (it works correctly on IOS). It will open on swipe but not close on swipe. It does close if I click the menu button which can also open the side menu. Any help would be appreciated. I am currently using Ionic v1.0.0-beta.14.

Can you please test the nightly builds?

Are you using the vanilla starter? I am and it works fine. Have you changed anything?
