On my rooted Google Pixel 3XL running Android OS 10, I have installed UpToDown App Store (UAS) so that I could better control the updating of an app or two. Today I noticed that both UAS and Google Play were indicating that some apps needed to be updated. I went through the list of apps in both programs and found differences. The following table shows the differences observed and the text following the app name provides a bit more information:
