Other software Review MacUpdate Desktop 5.0.6 review
Keeping OS X up to date is easy: just wait for Software Update to tell you that there is new software waiting for you and download it. However, Software Update only covers the main operating system and a few extra bits and pieces.
MacUpdate Desktop 5 attempts to bridge this gap and become a software update tool for all your applications, widgets, preference panes and plug-ins.
It scans your hard disk and checks for available updates. Once the scan is complete, every app that is out of date can be updated in one fell swoop. Where updates are paid for rather than free, you can click on a link within the application to buy them. Sadly, this is for US pricing only.
Our scan took just a few moments to find 50-odd apps that were out of date. Naturally, the time to download will vary, but to get our apps up to date took no more than 30 minutes.
Some of the apps did not update as expected and there was not much of an explanation as to why, but simply highlighting the app and trying to download again rectified this.
If you’d rather update manually you can, and as you click on each update you are given a brief description of the bug repairs and enhancements included. For $20 (£13), MacUpdate Desktop is good value for money and does its job with tiny fuss.
