![]() ![]() If you want to try out a software like MacUpdater, a situation like mine is exactly right: I have niche software like Aja System Test as well as classics like Adobe Creative Cloud or banking apps like MoneyMoney. At this point a reference to my old post "Flash deals the deathblow to himself". Just remember the Flash Player, which was already known as a changing security problem in the times of Steve Jobs, because the installation of the updates didn’t work as quickly as new security holes were found. Much more important are the plugged security holes, which can often be found in the small program updates. Obsolete software is not only a restriction in comfort, because you do without new features. It is not uncommon for managed problems to present security holes At the bottom of the MacUpdater window is the info line, in which you can see how many updates are available. To be honest, that surprised me and at the same time convinced me that MacUpdater makes perfect sense. My first scan with MacUpdater showed me that: 56 out of 94 apps on my Mac are out of date and need an update. In addition, not as many apps update automatically as I thought. If you have something urgent to do, this is not the best time. The disadvantage is that the updates are only offered when you start the software again. Usually apps check with the Sparkle Framework at the start, whether there is a new version and then they suggest the update, if one is available. So far, my instinctive argument against MacUpdater has been that in many cases you can do the updates in the software itself. The MacUpdater software and also Mac apps such as the freeware Latest I've known for years, but none of these apps made it onto my Mac until now. The MacUpdater software shows directly in the dock how many apps are waiting to be updated (screenshots: Sir Apfelot). And unfortunately in most cases these are the very few programs on a computer. In principle, you have a similar function here as in the AppStore under "Updates", except that MacUpdater serves all programs on the Mac, while the AppStore only has those apps on the screen that you have also installed via the AppStore. And – I can say this much in advance – the app is definitely worth the 10 euros that MacUpdater costs once. As a rule, however, I'm happy to pay the costs for the apps - especially when it comes to apps from "small" developers who need financial support. When I promised him that I would test the app and write a report about it, Julian – the app’s programmer – sent an email the same day with the offer that he would like to provide me with a free license code for the full version, because a user of his app told him I would like to try it Thanks for the excellent organization. My reader Dirk recently referred me to the app " macupdater“ because he is very enthusiastic about the software. 12 Reader's question: Is there a risk that MacUpdater will install a compromised update?.10 Comparison of MacUpdater and CleanMyMac X.7 Difference Between the Free and Commercial Version. ![]() 3 Managed problems often have security vulnerabilities. ![]()
