The Major League Baseball app is a good example. It has a widget that can show scores. It can only do this if background refresh is on though so that it can keep the scores current when the app is not being actively used. For most apps and use cases, background refresh isn’t necessary because when you want see data in an app, you open the app and it can refresh it then. Personally, I have background refresh off for everything. It helps save battery too.
