Refresh of data sometimes takes longer than expected #137

Maybe check the time interval or let the user know when the last update was

I'm also experiencing such an issue on a quite old device with possibly bad WiFi connection. I would appreciate, if the data is first fetched and then the old data is deleted.

Currently the old data is no longer shown, but the new data has not yet arrived - this results in a white screen with no information.

@pofi5000 interesting, the old data gets deleted only after the new has been retrieved (but not displayed). This would mean the time until displaying takes too long. Is this also what @Kamuno means?

I think this is a related issue... If there is no data to show.. then everything will be empty because no data can be shown.. a loading spinner or something in its place would probably be nice.

There should not be a "white screen", though. The default shoult be 0.0° with empty lists.
