Does it have an update all button? That's what prevented me to keep using it some months ago.
It does now yes.
Why would you ever want to do that? Sometimes the older version is better for about a third of the apps on my device.
Running outdated versions of software, whether on your phone or the desktop, will generally expose you to more vulnerabilities and is not best practice from a security perspective.
Huh, most of the time. I mean, people like you don't have to use it at all, but I prefer to just press "Update all" once if I have >2 updates in a row.
People that don't have a solid grasp on computing tend to think any and all updates are inherently good.
Droidify has an ignore all new versions button. And you can of course downgrade whenever you want.
