How do you feel about “Pull to Refresh”? Is it something you need? Is it something that should come standard? Do you find it addictive? Would you prefer things to load as you navigate to a screen/section of an app? Let me know… asking for a friend.

@dominikhoecht I’ll be adding feedback and change of icon for that 👍 And thanks for the answer.

@vincent likewise @maique

@vincent Pull to refresh is definitely not needed but it's better than a refresh button. Ideally the refresh would happen in the background periodically enough to be reasonably seamless, with an optional pull to refresh as a nice one if you can do it.

@vincent Pull to refresh is so standard that in some contexts I think an app would feel broken without it. But I think an app should also refresh automatically when possible.

@vincent no preference - but should be an option - but you know what I REALLY want :-)

@vincent maybe it’s just that I’m old school (iOS 6 visuals came to mind while writing this), but I like pull to refresh. OTOH, I hate those pages that let you see that they keep loading new stuff as you scroll down. Gives me the sensation of having no bottom, no end.

@vincent absolutely necessary.

@vincent I have come to expect it as from my experience so many other apps offer that option. Is it necessary? I think not providing that there is a button or it refreshes in the background. Micro.blog has taught me to unlearn habbits - likes, followers, etc - that I am sure that I could unlearn that one.

Thank you all so very much for the feedback and answers 😍😊 Pull to Refresh is very engrained into modern DNA, but nice to see that perhaps some are open to the idea of something else... like a button.
