SacredCultivator Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Dunno doesn't work properly for me.. As it is reporting incorrect Version Numbers of my Programs and have the Link to the Version I already have installed PBut the idea is definitely great, like RadarSync (Which I can't find ><) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 How does this compare to FileHippo's Update Checker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SacredCultivator Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 @Samurai: Never heard/knew of that.. gonna give that one a try and post results in a few.---EDIT:FileHippo is definitely better =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marik Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 How does this compare to FileHippo's Update Checker?well...the filehippo update checker only compares the version and offers the update to the apps that are on filehippo only......when update star by my guess uses google for indexing in software updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SacredCultivator Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Maybe so.. But yeah Update star reports false updates for me... Not necessarily false but it gets my version numbers incorrect and offers the one I already have... File hippo on the other hand gets the version number correct and provides updates where needed.

toyo Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Forget the updates, beautiful lady in the sig... :)Edit: nah, you just changed it... the one with the bats in the bg was nicer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shought Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 How does this compare to FileHippo's Update Checker?well...the filehippo update checker only compares the version and offers the update to the apps that are on filehippo only......when update star by my guess uses google for indexing in software updatesUpdateStar isn't using google, the users need to report new version to them. So when more people use it it'll get better and better.The stuff with wrong version numbers: i guess just some start-up issues, or some users missreported an update and they didn't check it.After all this program is still in beta stages :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donkeyhootie Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 App-Get http://www.app-get.com/ is another of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dock98 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 i like app-get the best of the 3 myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shought Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 After trying all for some time, i decided AppGet is the one for me. It's definitely better than UpdateStar, and offers more updates than FileHippo Update Checker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
