Makradar Technologies / / December 19, 2019
Store of Apple apps is good in many respects: moderation of content that gets there, easy to use interface where you can easily find necessary applications, and, of course, automatic updates as the entire OS X systems, and software purchased directly from the Mac App Store. However, as we know, the application can be downloaded not only in the official store from Apple, but also to third-party resources. This is undoubtedly great, nevertheless imposes its limitations - those automatic software updates. Of course, with frequent use of third-party programs, they will offer you to upgrade to the current version, but If this happens from time to time, monitor the actualization of versions becomes more difficult with each new application. Support all your software up to date will help MacUpdate Desktop application to update recently to version 6.
Most likely, the people who "sit on Macs", have long been aware of what MacUpdate Desktop useful, and enjoy its benefits. However, for beginners, recently acquired the technique kupertinovtsy probably do not know anything about this application.
So, what is useful for the program from the same foreign resources macupdate.com? Let's get a look.
In order to start using the app, you must go to the developer's website and register your account and then download the package. When you first start MacUpdate Desktop scans your system for installed programs, and then compare their version with its base. If your version is different from the current one, you will be prompted to update it to the latest. And most importantly - the update will take place in a single click, just as it happens in the Mac App Store.
Apart from the fact that the update installed applications can be one, it is possible to update all versions at once, it will require pressing a single button «Update All». Easy to use - one of the main "chip" applications that are very happy.
In addition to the tabs with the installed software and need to be updated, there is a special tab «Promos», where there are special offers and discounts for subscribers. I advise you to look into this section often, as prices there are really serious, reaching as much as 100%. Such proposals, of course, not as much and they do not appear so often, however, the best offers are almost always have a discount of 40 to 60 percent. If you want to save on the purchase application - do not miss the opportunity.
Also, there are two more tabs: Purchases and Watch List, where we can see the purchased applications and add them to your watchlist are those who are waiting for discounts on the (kind of analogue AppZapp).
Now the bad news. As you may have guessed, for all the convenience you need to pay. Free account is limited to 5 apps updated monthly. If third-party software you have not so much - this is quite enough to maintain current versions. But if their number exceeded twenties, you may purchase a premium account, which is available by subscription - your choice. The cost, by the way, is not as high, and - $ 20 per year.
But for those who do not agree with such quotations, there is an alternative - Mac Informer. Application database from them, of course, is not so extensive, and the interface is not as nice, but as an alternative and free analogue - is fine.
