Lumia Grabber 2.0.0.2
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 Lumia Grabber.
Friendly interface with a neat structuring of the content
The utility greets you with some nicely designed graphics, while the good organization of the items included inside and ordered in relevant categories is a plus from the visual perspective.
For most categories the apps listed in there are shown in alphabetical order to make it easier to locate those you are interested in, but in a couple of areas this arrangement is not available.
In the lower side of the screen you will see an endless stream of advertisements that come in the form of some flashing banners.
Browse the database and check for updates on the fly
Lumia Grabber has in store several system apps, HERE services and can also monitor a set of media utilities, as well as provide the same service for a set of beta applications made specifically for Lumia handsets.
This app offers you a quick method of checking for fresh updates, by tapping the button shown in the main menu bar at the bottom of the screen.
The process will take a couple of seconds and when it is done you will be able to see the last version and update date for every tool included in the database.
Add your favorite apps to the Lumia Grabber collection
With this utility you can easily put together a list of third-party applications you are interested in monitoring, so you can view when they are updated, even if these are not installed onto your mobile device.
The search engine provided for carrying out the Store query displays the results on the fly, so you can pick the applications to monitor without delay.
This selection is done by pressing and holding on entry entry from the list to reveal the dedicated command and the same procedure has to be followed when removing items from "my apps" area of Lumia Grabber.
