Is there a way to hide an application from Google update?

Sometimes I don't want that Google should update my application because I am happy with the older version.
Is there any way to hide the application from update?
 
Not that I know of which works with the current Play Store.

You can turn off automatic updates, but the update reminders will still sit there cluttering up the "my apps" list. I have a few that I'm not updating.

Thanks Hadron. I know that way but the problem is if there are suppose, ten applications to be updated. I have to update them one by one. I cannot use the"update all" option. And sometimes if I am unaware of automatic update, it will be updated. I don't know why Google imposes on us something which we don't like?
 
I have about twenty apps in my list of updates. I go through them every now and then and see if something I’m not ignoring has appeared... takes about twenty seconds.
 
Yes that's the price of wanting to decide what you want rather than take whatever you are fed. You used to be able to stop this using Titanium Backup (if rooted), but they changed the way it worked and broke that.

An awful lot of companies think that way. And Google are not frankly very good at listening - it took forever to get them to allow people to remove old, uninstalled apps from their app list in the Play Store, and even then the way you can do it is really clumsy if you want to remove more than one or two.

Being rooted, I keep backups so that if I ever make the mistake of updating an app I didn't want to I can revert it.
