Have I found my macupdater replacement? maybe!
I tried latest for a while and I did not see it completely replacing macupdater for me. then floodtide (https://bhopstudio.com/floodtide) came around and I decided to give it a spin and I have been with it since the beta and I run it in parallel to macupdater and its now almost catching all that macupdater does for me. I use it mostly to know which apps have updates ready and for some apps I let the floodtide app do the update and it has worked well.I believe this might be my permanent replacement for macupdater and I suggest more people try it out and let Raffi the dev know about missing apps. He is working quite hard (daily updates) to cover everything smoothly. Raffi is extremely responsive as well. You can even report apps not covered through the UI.I am not affiliated with Raffi, but I did get a promo code from him as an academic in India (due to pricing concerns). That has not influenced my sharing this post. I have been doing this for many other apps - only when they actually meet my needs!!
