Welcome to Bodega, the world's most innovative way to discover and obtain the hottest and latest applications for your Mac. Bodega is like a storefront right on your Mac's desktop, one that's chock-full of software apps from Mac developers around the world.Just download and install the Bodega app, and you have access to an ever-growing catalog of software to meet your every computing need.
Does not keep with latest versions of apps that are available elsewhere.
Summary
I was surprised that Bodega did not inform me when a couple of my apps were due for updates. I looked at detailed descriptions and found that the versions Bodega "knew" about were even older that what I currently had installed.
Granted, Apple's App Store has the same problem.
Better than App Store?

Pros
The fact that Bodega recognizes and includes applications already in my Application Folder (at least those that it has the opportunity to sell/update) is a big advantage over the new App Store feature of OS X.
Cons
I can see many opportunities for enriching Bodega in ways that will make it pre-eminent in its category.
Summary
Here are a few things that would enhance the utility for me:
- Show ALL applications on my computer in the applications list
- Show me WHERE the applications are store on my computer
- Show me information about each application as is done in the Store section
- Add a social dimension, including user reviews and a discussion forum.
