If a user adds a WordPress widget to their device's home screen, the widget should work out of the box or display an actionable message to help the user get it functioning.
Actual behavior
After adding the widget, it shows "Unable to load site stats". This happens only if the user hasn't visited the app's Stats screen after logging in.
Steps to reproduce the behavior
Perform a fresh install of WPiOS
Log in to the app
Background the app and add the Today widget
Notice the "Unable to load site stats" message appears, with no instruction on how to remedy this
My understanding is that there is an implicit requirement that the user visits the Stats page in the app for widgets to work. If widgets must depend on that user action taking place first, the widget could show the actionable message instead of "Unable to load site stats". For example, we could use "Visit the app's Stats page to enable the widget".
