Version: CNET TechTracker app 1.3b2
"I wish it would work better - MUCH NEEDED PRODUCT"
Pros: Definitely addresses an unmet need

Keeps suggesting updates are needed when the apps are totally up to date (checked with developer sites). Some software is impossible to update via the downloads, e.g. Adobe (but this is probably Adobe's fault).
Summary: Much needed, don't give up. Keep working on it
