Peakto does not seem to pick up the changes in my sources. Why?

Peakto does not seem to pick up the changes in my sources. Why?

This behaviour can lead to some confusion and we hope to explain it better in this article.

For performance reasons, we implemented the following rules when it comes to checking for incremental updates:
  1. We never run a check at startup
  2. We run a check when Peakto becomes the foreground app, except at launch (cf 1.)
  3. We never run a check on a source if a previous check was made less than 1min ago.
As a result, when you start Peakto and know that the underlying sources have changed, you will not see any 'sync' icon next to the sources because of rule #1.
You need to switch to another app and switch back to Peakto for those checks to be made.

This current behaviour might change in the future.
