Autorefresh not working on Flym news reader

Introduction

Flym news reader is an open source news reader developed by Frederic Julian. It is my favourite RSS feeds news reader and it has so many great features such as being free of unwanted ads and flash features. You can view news contents at full screen, set news content as favourite, switch themes and share contents with various social media.

Issue realised on Flym news reader

Despite all the positives on Flym news reader automatic refresh feeds option seems not to be working despite being enabled as follows:

The news feeds stays the same despite being on automatic and the enable refresh upon opening application switched on.

Steps to reproduce

Step 2: Launch the application and enable automatic refresh through Settings. Also enable the refresh feeds on open.

Step 3: Check the total number of feeds and close the app.
