LUMIA pusher 1.0.4.0

Check for updates for Nokia specific system apps, including the Beta releases of some tools
Most Windows Phone users leave it to the system to perform automatically the periodic update verifications, as the scans take place regularly and usually the notifications appear promptly with every fresh release for an installed app.

Nonetheless, there are some cases in which the manual check can reveal that updates are available for some utilities that may have been omitted from the scan, but this type of action can be carried out only with some specialized tools and LUMIA pusher is one of the possible alternatives.

Simple and efficient front-end

The application comes with a clean interface, plain and unadorned, but with a practical design that allows you to easily go through the various sections of the utility.

The apps that can be monitored by LUMIA pusher are kept neatly structured inside several categories, but they are not arranged alphabetically, nor is there any possibility of changing their order.

Manual update check for every listed entry

This utility is not meant to carry out any automatic scans, it merely provides a straightforward means of going through each category of apps to see if any of those tools have received an upgrade.

The number of entries included in LUMIA pusher is decent, but the app database is in dire need of an update because it lacks many of the utilities released in the last couple of years.

Inside the system utilities section you will find several useful entries that can be difficult to locate using the Store search and, surprisingly enough, you might discover when going through them that some actually need to be updated.

Add new apps to your phone, including some Beta releases

Each time you find an update when visiting a listing included inside LUMIA pusher, a notification will immediately appear in the notification center, as the system learns in the same time with you that there is a new version for an installed application.

Some of the utilities you can access by browsing the "Multimedia", "HERE Service", "System" or "Beta-versions" areas of this app might be completely new for you, as there is no indication as to which of them are installed and which are not.

Only by opening the Store listing for every utility included in this application will you be able to discover all the details. Inside LUMIA pusher only two references are available, one regarding the Russian version of the Yandex.Search app and the other concerning the requirements for Lumia storage check beta.
