You can add UIRefreshControl to UICollectionView (or any UIScrollView for that matter) by adding it to collection’s subviews:

UIRefreshControl *refreshControl = [[UIRefreshControl alloc] init];
[refreshControl addTarget:self action:@selector(handleRefresh:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
[self.collectionView addSubview:refreshControl];

This doesn’t work when collection view layout has UICollectionViewScrollDirectionHorizontal.

I tried overriding layoutSubviews to put refresh control to the left, but it wouldn’t track scrolling progress this way. Can I trick it into working with horizontal layouts?

    I needed solution in MonoTouch (C#) so I started by source-porting ODRefreshControl and then patched it to work with horizontal layout.

    Full C# source code is here, it should be straightforward to port it back to Objective C.
    All I did was add an utility function and some conditions here and there.
