Update your Android apps directly from the APK source.

Updatium's core goal is to automate the process of downloading and installing Android app updates directly from their APK file source websites. This process needs automation since users may not be willing or able to rely on an app store to update a given app, but Android apps (unlike PC programs) usually assume they will be updated externally by an app store and therefore don't include a built-in self-update function.

While this concept is simple, the wide variety of supported sources, user preferences, and APK naming, versioning, and distribution methods make things more complicated. This Wiki explains the various app sources and settings available in Updatium. It is not comprehensive and may not be fully up to date.

Limitations

  • For some sources, data is gathered using Web scraping and can easily break due to changes in website design. In such cases, more reliable methods may be unavailable.
