Android 3.11.0 When I refresh the inbox it is so slow and erratic that I can’t click on an episode I want because another one just updated and moved it in the list. They don’t all update at the same time, and if you leave the app but leave it running in the background it wont update. You have to have it on the screen and wait until it finishes (about 10-15secs) Not a deal breaker but really annoying

**App version** : x.y.z (state whether from Google Play/F-Droid/Custom built APK)

**Android version** : 5.x (Please mention if you are using a custom rom!)

**Device model** :

**Expected behaviour** :

**Current behaviour** :

**First occurred** : (e.g. about x days/weeks ago)

**Steps to reproduce** :

1. This
2. Then that
3. Then this
4. Etc.

**Environment** : (Settings you have changed (e.g. Auto Download). “Unusual” devices you use (e.g. Bluetooth headphones). Did you select another media player?)

Just enable automatic refresh in the background. Then you don’t have to sit there and watch it refresh.
