Description
While having a quite bad connection I was playing with marking items as favourites. If you quickly tap on the star icon, sometimes nothing happens since updating favourite status is performed asynchronously and the icon is updated in the completion handler.
I think it would be a good idea to provide a visual clue to the user that something is taking longer than he expected by e.g. showing a small progress indicator and disabling a "star" button until the update is finished.

Research direction
Start by locating the iOS star or favorite action and the asynchronous completion handler that updates its icon. Check how the favorite request is represented in the UI; done means a progress indicator is shown while the update is pending and the star button is disabled until completion.
