Finally the Android 2.2 makes app update handy

Not long ago we blogged about the Android’s lack of updating apps, like sometimes skipping updates and the missing feature of updating all apps in one go. Our support team faced several complaints from Android users like why FriendCaller’s features are claimed but not provided. Each time we have to convince our Android users to manually update the app, as we all knew that Android’s capability of updating apps is not so friendly. Sometimes the OS looks for updates on a regular basis but most of the times even after several updates by the developers, the OS fails to look for an available update from developers.

Android's 2.2 Update All apps feature

Looks like the problem have been solved now. We are happy to welcome the latest release of Android 2.2 which solved our app updating issue. Android 2.2 users can now navigate to their downloads and select the option Allow Automatic Updating check-box for any particular app they want to update automatically. This new feature is far more better than what the previous version of Android OS offered, where a user had to navigate to the Downloads and then check whether there was any update available for a particular app or not.

The best part is that the new 2.2 version of Android OS allows the user to update all the apps in one go by simply clicking the Update All button in Downloads. iPhone users have been a bit proud uptil now because of the iPhone having the Update all button since the beginning, and Android not. But, now it seems that Android users can enjoy more freedom in updating apps and can prevent the tedious task of updating each app manually and separately.

Now is the time when Google should start focusing to pimp its Android Marketplace which lacks a lot what Apple’s App Store has to offer currently.
