Would be cool having an Exit option in the popup menu so I shouldnt have to press back several times to close the app. This option is pretty common with other FOS applications I use.

Rarely the internet connection breaks up because of nonapp related reasons and the app obviously cannot load the page. After reconnection I have to go back and tap again on the desired thingy to reload the page. Please include a Refresh option in the popup menu for this occurrence. I'm sure there are other reasons to do that.

Actually I am working on a Swipe Refresh(Layout). There are some problems, but I think I will be able to fix it.

But my question is: What do you mean with "Exit" Button/Option? I mean, there is a home button to quit the app? (Or do you use an Android phone whitout these button?) Sorry, but what exactly do you mean?

So by pressing the Home button you only put the app in the background. It remains in the memory and sometimes it does use the cpu and the app is practically allowed to do its funny business. Some of the apps I use have an Exit (or Kill) option in the popup menu when I press the Menu button so I can totally close the app, knowing that it wont do anything anymore.

NewPipe stays in the memory after I press the Home button and it stays listed at the active application list with some memory usage (no cpu though). I can only really close the app by pressing the Back button several times (it quits from the search page). When Im watching a video, it takes 3 presses to do that.

For example Tinfoil for Facebook and Firefox (optional) have the Exit option in the popup menu when I press the Menu button. Instant closing, no messing around.

Retrying is now part of the app, and you can exit by swiping the app from Recents.
