UpdateYeti

When you have a large amount of software installed on your computer, it can be very difficult to keep every application up-to-date. If you are looking for a tool that allows you to avoid using outdated programs, you should try UpdateYeti.

It is a lightweight and straightforward application, designed to scan your computer for installed software and notify you when updates are available for various programs.

Upon launch, UpdateYeti performs an in-depth scan of your system and displays a list of all installed programs.

You can view the application's name, its developer, file size, installed and available version. You can also view a pie chart, displaying the amount of programs that are up-to-date or need to be updated, as well as whether or not they require payment.

UpdateYeti offers links that can be followed to easily download updates for various applications. However, the listed links do not lead to the developer's website, making it doubtful that you are downloading the latest version of an application.

If an update is listed as being free, but actually needs to be paid for, you can propose that this particular piece of information be amended.

While a very useful application in principle, it is drawn back by the fact that most of the suggested links lead you to German websites. This makes it difficult to find the software you are looking for and defeats the whole purpose of the application.

No English documentation is offered, which may prevent certain users from understanding some of its more advanced functions.

Overall, UpdateYeti is an application that could be useful for some, but offers limited functionality due to the fact that it does not lead to you the software developer's web page and mostly offers links to German websites.
