Check App Update 2.5.0.3
Nonetheless, there are many users eager to verify manually if an updated version of a certain application is available in the Store and carrying out a complete scan manually is only possible by using a dedicated tool like Check App Update.
Well organized front-end, with decent graphics
This utility comes with a decent GUI, where the content is neatly structured into categories, so as to make everything easy to find and access. The visuals are left a side a bit, as only the app tiles bring a bit of color and smooth touch to the interface.
Browsing the lists of pass and going form one section of the app into another have a fluent feel, as there are no lags of other kind of flaws in this respect. Occasionally, some prompts to review and rate the app will appear at startup.
There is a visible drawback from the visual perspective and it is represented by the presence of some advertisement banners that seem stuck to the bottom of the screen, where they are continuously changing.
Add apps to the monitoring list on the go
Check App Update enables you to create your personal list of applications to watch over, as it cannot retrieve information about the installed apps due to the restrictions imposed by the operating system.
The search function that is integrated inside this tool makes it possible for you to query the Windows Phone Store by entering the name or GUID of the apps you are interested in adding to your list.
Fast update check and extra features
As soon as you include all the applications in the database, by tapping the "Refresh" button you will trigger the update verification, as the utility will retrieve all the available information about each entry on the list.
More precisely, you will be able to see the package and installed sizes of each app, the current version and last update, as well as the user rating.
Each entry can be managed individually and a neat feature of Check App Update is the ability to generate QR codes for every app. It can also read the corresponding codes for any application either from another device or from the dedicated online page you can visit o the developer's website.
