Pros
- Nice Gui,
- Easy for a novice to use,
- advanced management of programs,
- import and export of programs list
Cons
- none
Comments
- smaller database
- inflated user interface
- does not recognize installed applications correctly (for example the version number of Skype and other default applications are wrong, at 22 of 80 applications)
- the new version costs money
In my eyes UpdateStar is a bad application, Software Informer is much better!
