Roman Pechorin (ID: 000000f3b6dda3c5) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/05/2017 awesome plugin. but it't doesn't math an ios habit. for not most of the times scrolling down, to the top of the page trigger refresh. can you make it more like this: scrolling to the top should stop at the top, as it behave without this plugin, to trigger refresh need to pull one more time. so the rule very simple: trigger refresh if only page on the screen is on top position. Thanks a lot!
