You can use history.back() on click of your back button. this will redirect to your previous page using browser's history.

A simple directive for that

app.directive('historyBackward', ['$window', function($window) {
    return {
        restrict: 'A',
        link: function(scope, elem, attrs) {
            elem.bind('click', function() {
                $window.history.back();
            });
        }
    };
}]);

In your HTML

<button history-backward>back</button>
