Updating Apps

by mintblack82

Hi everyone. I‘ve got a new Philips 4K Android TV and installed Aptoide on it. I noticed that Aptoide offers newer versions of apps like VLC that I can find on the official PlayStore. Recommend to update, or not?

Only update from the Play Store if you can, it's safer.

My recommendation is to update only if there's a good reason to update and to be safe do it from the official Play Store. Mostly, the logic with updates should be if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

It's a case by case answer that needs a version verification. Identify app version desired and look if in similar android TV versions are updated to that one, then i suggest to take the risk if you needed. For google apps/system files you better avoid touching it.

Hi, I have a Philip’s and use Aptoide all the time to update apps and never had a problem with it.

Is it the phone version or the TV version. Some developers actually make two different versions.

My suggestion on updating... If it works well on the current version, don't update. If you have issues with the current version, update and hope it fixes it.
