SUMo is a handy Windows software solution designed to help you keep the applications you're using up to date, providing a very simple way to find out whether there's any update available for a certain program or not.

Although it may sound a bit complicated, SUMo automatically scans your computer and analyzes the installed applications to determine if there's something to be updated or not.

Additionally, you can perform the whole job manually by simply dragging and dropping an executable file over the main window, thus letting SUMo conduct a scan and check for updates.

The interface is quite straightforward and intuitive, showing all installed apps and their versions, alongside with potential updates that may exist online.

Plus, there are dedicated buttons at the bottom of the main window to check, scan, add, remove or ignore programs, so it's easy to manage the installed applications.

Although it all sounds like milk and honey, it's not. While SUMo works with most popular programs, it fails to detect updates for some other applications and this seems to happen pretty often. Plus, “false positives” emerge every once in a while and although you're informed that a new update is available, it's not.

Of course, you need an Internet connection to use SUMo and although some users complain that it's terribly slow, everything worked like a breeze during our test.

All in all, SUMo may prove to be quite a handy software solution and as long as it can be used at absolutely no cost, it's one of the tools that could become a must-have for many experienced users out there.
