In App Auto Refresh/Update Features

In App Auto Refresh/Update Features

Hi, 

  I am trying to use Zoho Creator for Restaurant management. While using the android apps, I reliased the apps would not auto refresh if there is new entries i.e new kitchen order ticket (KOT) from other users.

  The apps does received notification but would not auto refresh, users required to refresh the apps manually in order to see the new KOT in the apps. 

  I am wondering why this features is not implemented? Or is this feature being considered to be implemented in the future? With the auto update/refresh in the application, this will greatly improve the usability of the Zoho Creator Mobile Apps.
