    Hey everyone! We all know and love our side-loads on BB10, but if you - like me - have a lot of them, it can be a bother to check for updates manually. Luckily there is an Android app which works very wel as a side-load!
    I will only link the Google Play links here, you can convert and load them yourself with your own preferred method. It comes in two flavours:
    Update Notifier: Crowd Edition:
    This one checks your installed android apps against other users, instead of just Google Play. This means it will also see some beta versions, or even apps that are not on GP anymore. Results are sorted by Device or Android version.
    App Update Notifier:
    This one checks against Google Play directly, and only shows results by Android Version.

    I prefer the Crowd Edition, because it seems to catch more updates. Like the name suggests, it works better when more people use it. However I have both side-loaded, because sometimes they find different results. It may not work for all apps, but with both of them installed it works pretty well for me. You can also toggle on/off which apps you want to check (BBWorld ports also show up, so uncheck them)!
    Both apps have an auto-check interval (anywhere between 1h and 24h), and sends a notification to the Hub when updates are found.
    This does not auto-update apps, it only tells you for which apps updates are available, so you no longer need to check it yourself.
