It doesnt work. it just shows the box with when you want it to refresh and its supposed to start asap. i even checked the advanced settings. it doesnt work.

Does exactly what I need it to do. I've seen one auto refresh that will cancel itself if you click anything else and take focus away from the page you are refreshing. This app allows you to refresh pages in the background which I really like. The countdown timer in the corner is a nice tough as well!
