I'm so sick of update notifications that I've muted the Play Store on my android. There are just so many of them each day that I don't care to keep track of it. Most of these native apps are just improved versions of web apps anyway, and you don't get to choose when a web app updates.

I think I get only a few every other week. Guess it's because I don't have many apps and the ones I have don't update every other day. Also, I allow some apps - those whose developers I trust, those that can't get worse and those I either don't care much about - to auto-update. But I manually track the updates for the apps I use daily. Don't want to find that things I'm used to are suddenly broken. If there'd be a way to hook into Play Store to trigger a full backup before the upgrades, I suppose I would've enabled auto-updates for most apps.

The developers are only going to support so many old versions of their product, and eventually they'll break the server API your app depends on. And if you contact support for any reason, they'll assume the bugs are fixed in a newer version and that you should upgrade.
