User Reviews

App Watcher: Check Update is a popular app praised for effectively tracking app version updates and providing detailed update notes with a clean, intuitive interface. Users appreciate the developer’s responsiveness and the app's ability to organize apps via tags and lists. However, multiple reviews mention bugs such as refreshing issues, repeated notifications for the same update, and Android 15 compatibility problems that affect core features like adding apps or update detection. Users desire improvements like better filtering, highlighting current versions, bug fixes for backup and export, and UI enhancements for clarity and convenience.

Pros

The app effectively tracks app updates, including those for apps not currently installed, filling a gap left by Google Play Store.
User interface is generally praised for being intuitive, clean, and visually appealing, making navigation smooth.
The developer is responsive to user feedback and actively works to fix issues.
The app retrieves update notes for apps, allowing users to see detailed changes, which Google's Play Store does not provide.
Users appreciate the app’s ability to manage and organize apps with features like tags and lists, although some issues exist with these features.

Cons

The app suffers from bugs and glitches, including frequent refreshing on startup, requiring restarts, and occasional freezing or blank sections.
Multiple users report repetitive notifications for the same app update, which can be annoying or feel like harassment.
Compatibility issues with Android 15 have caused features like adding apps via the share menu and update detection to malfunction.
Some users note delay or missing updates on the app's update list, with updates not showing promptly or at all for certain apps.
Features such as filtering (e.g., system vs manually installed apps), sorting, highlighting the current version in update logs, and showing package names are lacking or insufficient.
Export/import and cloud backup of tags/settings have bugs causing data misassignment or errors.
User interface has some confusing or unclear elements and missing conveniences compared to previous versions, such as showing version names and codes side by side without extra taps.
