The update check is really fast and easy to use :good:

A couple suggestions:
• exclude apps from the list
• bug in the notification bar

The notification bug should be fixed with last commit. I'll make a new release this weekend when I have some more time.
Long press makes app ignored (you will see it grayed). Don't see any easy way of completely removing apps from the list and letting the user add them back again.

I've installed this app on a old LG with cyanogenmod 7 without gapps, but when i press on the button for refresh the apps list or the settings button, the app crash! I've uploaded also the log, i think that can be useful

Changelog for 1.1.3
Fixed issue with notification on 2.3 android devices.
Fixed ignore app background issue in 2.3 android devices.
Changed SwitchPreference to CheckboxPreference in android devices below api 14.

This should make the app working again on 2.3. However there are some minor cosmetic issues that I will probably not fix:
Dark themes will look wrong.
On settings activity %s will be displayed instead of the right value.

It would be nice to know which apps failed (I have 38 errors but I don't know for which apps).
I had a bug, duplicates in the Updates tab after launching the update process several times.

Changelog 1.1.4
* Fixed dark themes in Android 2.3
* Don't return an error if app is not found on Play.


Most errors are coming from checking apps that do not exist in Google Play. These are no longer marked as an error.
Apart from that the most common errors are either connection errors or version parsing errors. Version parsing errors happen when apps have weird version names. Adding a way to see what exactly are the errors is something I'd like to add in the future.

Yep and adding a solution to check the repos of F-Droid and Xposed would be appreciated.
Apktrack's source code may help (GPLv3).
