Very important point.

This can also cause major problems for anyone who moves out of service range (happens a lot in the mountains around here, but is also likely to be an issue in a lot of other less developed areas) - if handled poorly, automatic refreshing can also cause them to lose whatever they did have up and leave them flying blind (a particular problem if what they pulled up was a map to, say, the next place with service).

Yes, from the article. The article suggests a move to auto-refresh automatically rather than manual refresh (among other ideas). Pull-to-refresh allows the user to decide when to download new content, giving them control over data usage. For example they might only decide to "pull" when on a wifi network rather than spend MBs on their data plan. As designers reconsider this interaction, I hope that they don't eliminate this option for those people.

Just to be sure I understood you correctly, you were referring to
"Pull-to refresh" when you mentioned "It" in the following sentence,

> "It also saves on bandwidth for data-conscious customers."

Correct me if I'm wrong.
