Softonic (for Windows) is a new application designed to keep your Windows
software up to date as well as giving you *full access to Softonic's vast
library of applications*. For Windows users, keeping applications up to date
can be a hassle. Some programs alert you to new updates, but wouldn't it be
better to have a single program that keeps an eye on all your software? This
is where Softonic comes into play. Softonic keeps a master list of
applications and will query Softonic's database for updates, alerting you
*when an update for a program is available*, quickly and unobtrusively in the
notification tray. Click the 'update' button and the .exe will be downloaded
and you can install it like a normal application. Softonic doesn't support
uninstalling yet. Softonic's new application also includes *full reviews* of
applications to help you decide whether an app is right for you. Access user
reviews, screenshots, and videos, all within Softonic. Screenshots and videos
show up beautifully, though there is some noticeable lag while switching
pictures. Another nice feature of the application is *lists*. You can browse
premade lists from Softonic's editors or you can make your own app lists and
share them. Drag and drop applications into a list to keep track of them.
These lists are synced when you log into Softonic, making it super easy to
download your favorite apps on a new machine. There are still a few features
that aren't fleshed out but the program is solid overall. It would be nice to
be able to uninstall apps and there should be a setting to automatically
delete the .exe files after installation. There's also no way to change your
avatar within Softonic. Overall, this new application from Softonic is a
solid product that provides some very useful features. Softonic lets you keep
your apps up to date, as well as helping you discover, research, and educate
yourself on the best software found on Softonic. *Full disclosure: Softonic
