Software Update - App Updates
How does the batch update feature work?
The batch update feature lets you update all your outdated apps at once with a single tap. You can trigger it manually from the main scan list, and it uses the standard Play Store installer so the process feels safe and familiar.
Can I exclude certain apps from being scanned or updated?
Yes, the app includes an Ignore List where you can add apps you don't want to be included in scans or batch updates. This is especially useful for beta apps or any apps you prefer to update manually.
Why does the app show 'critical updates' and what should I do?
Critical updates usually indicate security patches or important bug fixes for your apps. When you get a notification, tap it to see the list, and we recommend updating those apps as soon as possible to keep your device secure.
The app found 17 outdated apps, but some updates fail. What can I do?
If an update fails, first check your internet connection and make sure you have enough storage space. You can also try updating that specific app individually through the Play Store, as the app uses the same installer and the issue may be on the app developer's end.
How does Software Update compare to just using the Google Play Store's built-in update manager?
While the Play Store shows updates, Software Update gives you more control with features like an Ignore List, separate system app tracking, and clear release notes for each update. It also sends proactive notifications for critical updates, so you don't have to remember to check the Play Store manually.
