how do u check for app updates?

[raycpl]

My carrier signal is erratic in my area, so my 920 is on 2G... and I never seem to get notifications for updates. Even switching to wi-fi, the notification is inconsistent. The funny thing is I have a L720 in the house.... and that gets notifications all the time IF in 3G
​there's a moral in there somewhere

good news , you wont be using sysapppusher anymore after windows phone 8.1 , the store will automatically update your apps over Wi-Fi or mobile data(optional) , or one can also manually check apps for updates
till then sysapppusher is great , it does check my apps automatically if enabled in background.

Read through all the replies. I understand that the notification works flawlessly for some while some share my problem. Anyways i have my appstore tile pinned on my start screen but i get update notification sometimes only days after it has been available.i most of the times know of the update reading from here wpc.
That's why i asked.

There's an app called SysApp Pusher (link below) which lets you add apps and chech for updates. It works really well and it's free, give it a try!

I think I'm missing something. I tried that but all it seems to do is list the most current version of the apps. I don't see any option to compare those to what is installed or to install updates.

I sometimes see a day or two delay, but that's about it.

You just need to tell the app which apps you want it to look updates for. Then, it will notify you when there's an update available and you'll just have to click on it and update it.
