There is no visual concept of locker working in the background to download new data, which is disconcerting to the user.

For example, I can add 4Sq service, and a popup starts to load, and then disappears, and thats it. If I click on photos, no photos- and it is unclear what has happened. (Of course, if I wait 5 secs for locker to start downloading pictures they appear fine.)

Some sort of cue is need for the initial connection, and it might be nice to subtly indicate a refresh of info - something like a spinner spinning on top of the service icon, or a slow fade in and out?
