Developer Description

Restore Google Play's missing app update notifications

AppNotifier restores Google Play's missing app update & app install notifications.

Unhappy with Google's removal of the Play Store's app update notifications? Wish you had them back? Don't worry, AppNotifier's got you covered.

Features
• Show a notification each time an app is newly installed, or updated, on your device
• Choose whether notifications are shown for apps from Google Play, or sideloaded apps

Limitations
• The app does not detect when apps are in the middle of installing, so there will be a short delay between when an app downloads and when the install or update notifications appear.
• Notifications are generated using data from the apps on your device, not the Play Store itself. So if an app's name differs between the Play Store listing and the actual app on your device, the latter will be used.

NOTE: There are certain situations where the Play Store will still show an app installation notification, such as when installing an app remotely via the Google Play website. To avoid duplicate notifications, you may want to disable the Play Store's notification channel for "Updated apps" inside the Android system settings.

What's New

New in 1.2.5:
• Add option to show uninstall button in notifications for newly installed apps
• Fixed Japanese translation

very good. but missing ability to see history of notifications that this app showed. to me, this is a big lack. but this app also fills a badly needed gap and i don't want to rate down a whole star for this lack yet. seriously, the need filled by this app is so important. thanks! but please add a way for us to open the app and see past notifications, like a simple list of date and text is fine, maybe for the last 1 year. or adjustable where we can choose when history is forgotten.

AppNotifier tells me when apps have been installed on my Edge 20 Pro, not when app updates are available. Tried with & without battery optimisation. Makes no difference. Ah well. Nice idea. As with all apps a basic user guide would help?
