Seems like it does a good job alerting on updates, I haven't had any new ones in a while, I guess that's good. My phones pretty old anyway, so it's not like I'm Buzz Liteyearing it, hey better than nothing thank you support and hope you have a wonderful day and weekend 😆

I do love the fact of that it sets reminders and notifies me when I need to check if there are any updates to your operating system or your web view or Google Play Services and that's something that normally I would not do myself but because the system update for Android remind you like with a notification that's to me the best part of the app. I really think I covered it all in that one huge long sentence, lol! :-)
