Batch upgrade your software
By Martin English | October 9, 2007

Making sure all of your software is up to date could be a full time job. That’s where AppSnap comes in. Like File Hippo’s Update Checker, AppSnap scans your PC to figure out what software you’ve already installed. It then compares your software against a master list and decides if your software is out of date. Here’s where it gets really cool. While File Hippo Update Checker just gives you a list of links to download updates, AppSnap lets you check a few boxes and it will go to work downloading and installing software for you.
AppSnap’s list is far from comprehensive. It found 4 out of date applications on our test PC. But when we ran the File Hippo utility afterward it found another 6 out of date programs. AppSnap also has a list of programs in its database. So if you want to install some applications that you don’t already have, just check out the list of uninstalled programs or browser by category.
