    Default updating apps that weren't downloaded from the market


    I have a collection of apks that were downloaded from the internet or created by using appSaver.

    These apps do not show up in 'My Downloads' and therefore I am not notified when an update is available.

    Is there a way to search for updates for all installed apps? Or do I have to go to the market and download apps individually. (I really do not want to do this)

    atrackdog can track all of your apps. it'll give you a list (which can be exported; that's how a lot of people post their apps lists), and also notify you when there's updates to your apps, and then you can update from the market or wherever. really nice app. i highly recommend.

    theres also a seperate atrackdog for your apps not installed, but on your sd card. it finds updates for them too. search it in the market.

    atrackdog is great. only downfall I've found in the 2 wks I've had it is that will sometimes tell u an update to a market app is available b4 it is released to the market.
