Does anyone hate the fact that you have to update your apps all the time?

[Napoleon PhoneApart]

I'm lightened up! Always lightened up me. But sometimes our 2pence worth needs throwing in.

App updates is like marmite. You either love them or hate them!


iHolophyte

Damn it. Pulled here from limbo again.

Marmite sucks. Period.

 

[Bennyboy]

I wasn't telling you to lighten up

Lets just enjoy each others company. lol.

wow, a Man. United fan and a Man. City fan keeping eachother company. That should be good

 

[Europa]

wow, a Man. United fan and a Man. City fan keeping eachother company. That should be food

Whaaaat...?

That sounds like Nirvana lyrics.

 

[Bennyboy]

What'd I do? I put food instead of good? Proofreading is not my speciality, give me an hour.

I for one would welcome an option to turn off the blazing red badge reminding me of how lazy I am when it comes to updating my apps. Maybe my iPhone can also remove the red icon reminding me of my unread items in my inbox, moderators queue and more!

Ok ip5.

 

[My-phone]

I have UCS (Update Compulsive Syndrome) so I have to update the minute I see one. I also suffer from ENB (Email Notification Badge) which also makes me download and delete all read emails to remove the icon. I also have TN (Twitter Numberfication) which makes me open twitter, read tweets and close back down.
Do I need to go on? Lol


iHolophyte

I have the same problem.

[glsda]

To the original question, "yep"

 

[redcat]

updates always necessary

 

[eduran214]

Well it sort of does. If the update is to fix any problems I'm all for it but what gets me annoyed is the fact that the red notification bubble stays there I liked how Android just showed you in the notification bar

 

[Cabby 49115]

Yes, bloody annoying.

 

[Tattooed Alex]

I don't mind updating and I admit that I am a chronic app updater as soon as I see the updates available.

 

[eye-Fone]

Having to update apps frequently shows that apps are being released too soon.

I strongly disagree. Yes, some applications are more buggy than others and require more updates, but many of the updates are the result of features being added.

I also disagree bcz improvements r made through research and updates. The bugs r eliminated and new sophisticated application emerges.

 

[ripsqueak]

I agree the update notifications are annoying. I'd like the option to dismiss the update because honestly for some of the apps that get updated, its not necessary and sometimes rather have a previous version than an updated version. I usually end up updating everything and then not open the app store for a long while so I can avoid the notices ha.

Zombie Highway was updated.

First line of the update description:

"DON'T UPDATE! Non retina devices will crash - update SUBMITTED will be approved shortly!"

...

Insert double facepalm here.

I see this kind of thing so often, it's kind of ridiculous. Do people not actually test their apps before submitting? Does the App Store review team no longer have any previous generation devices?
