Can a progress bar go backwards?
A progress bar is meant to be progressing and it can revert back only if it is a continous event as in case of performing roll back of the same event in continuity. If it is a discontinous event happening over an interval then the regressive bar will not be the right pattern.
Why are progress bars so inaccurate?
Assuming you are able to continuing counting, your pace has certainly slowed a bit. So now the progress bar is still moving, but at a much slower pace with the estimated time remaining either at a standstill or actually climbing higher.
Are progress bars accurate?
Progress bars are undoubtedly a great tool in accurately showcasing how far along a respondent is in a survey. However, online surveys that include extensive routing can mislead a respondent because the scale of the progress bar will adjust accordingly and not always progress as expected.
How do progress bars work?
