About this app
APKUpdater is an open source tool that simplifies the process of finding updates for your installed apps. It provides similar functionality to an app store, but instead of depending on a single source, it aggregates the results from APKMirror, Aptoide, F-Droid, IzzyOnDroid, APKPure, GitLab and GitHub.

What's new
GitHub updates are now detected reliably. Some published releases could be missing from GitHub's release list, so the latest release is now checked directly as well. This fixes cases where a new version existed but was never shown. - Pre-releases and stable releases are now merged and deduplicated, so no release is missed either way. - The highest version among all candidates is now selected, instead of the first one GitHub happened to return. - Improved error handling: a missing release is now a normal result, while authentication, rate limits, and network errors are logged and shown. Cancelled refreshes are handled correctly. - Each repository now logs its candidate count, chosen tag, installed version, and pre-release setting, making future reports easier to diagnose.
