Solution for third-party patch management
In the competitive world of technology, applications are constantly evolving. Patch My PC is an application which facilitates this process by allowing updates to be administered as smoothly as possible.
Don’t ever run out of date apps again
An old-fashioned solution to a modern inconvenience.
Considering how many applications are on the average computer, it’s easy to lose track of what’s outdated. The use of Patch My PC ensures that users can be confident that they’re using the most recent version of every application on their computer.
With that being said, there are some areas for improvement. The interface isn’t the most user-friendly and does resemble something from the 1980s. Whilst the design might be outdated, it’s also simple and easy-to-use.
Not many people have time to go checking each application individually for updates, and who would want to anyhow? However, if applications aren’t kept up-to-date then this can be even more problematic; the user may experience bugs, performance issues, lessened security and may also lose out on new features.
Occasionally updates might fail. When this happens, all the user will see is an error message in red which might something like 'failed to start installation'. This isn’t particularly informative or helpful. A useful improvement in this regard would be to implement a feature in which the software gives the option to perform a manual update instead whilst also explaining why the installation failed.
Where can you run this program?
You can run this program on Windows 7
Is there a better alternative?
No. Whilst the interface might not be the prettiest, it appears to be one of the most simplistic and straightforward pieces of software out there today. The lack of design and complexity only adds to its objective orientation.
Our take
The software is brilliant at what it does, but the way in which it does it can certainly be improved. Nevertheless, Patch My PC is certainly a leader in its field.
Should you download it?
Yes. Despite its design, it’s a reliable piece of software that will ensure that all of your applications are running as they’re designed to be.
