Help Stop apps from updating automatically?

Is there some way to stop my apps (on my Asus Transformer Pad, TF300T) from updating automatically without going into EACH one, one at a time? I would like to have a setting that says apps cannot update automatically.

Thanks.
 
Look in the settings of the Play Store app and set it not to auto update.

It doesn't always work! For example, if I click on Spotify, I get two buttons: Uninstall and Open. There is no checkbox for auto update. On some, however, I do get that option.
 
The Play Store app has a setting menu. You can disable automatic updates for all apps from there (it's at the bottom of the sidebar you pull out by tapping the top-left corner. You can't access it when viewing an individual app description).

When looking at an individual app the auto-update toggle can be found from the 3 dot icon.

Oh wow!! Thanks for that, Hadron. I had no idea. A user guide would be so helpful!! I tried the settings icon on the bottom left (which did nothing) but never noticed the one in the upper left!
