The app needs to do a better job of notifying users about slow connections #5

Closed Grayda closed 7 years ago

Grayda commented 7 years ago

Right now, the app waits 15 seconds for the retrieval of data to be completed. If it doesn't, it simply tries again, and repeats until it's done.

This is (in theory) fine, but the user should be notified that it's not loading and given a reason why (slow connection? No connection? etc.) and possibly the option to cancel, load the data from the local storage cache, or try again

This is partially resolved in 0.9.0. Now when loading the data times out, you'll get a message box telling you why, and to press OK to try again.

Later versions will give you the option of cancelling, but this should hopefully alleviate user frustration when it sits there on a the orange aurora loading screen for ages.

Closing as this issue fixed in 0.9.7 which was released today

The app won't try again if the connection fails, but will prompt you to pull to refresh
