Version: 4.78.25031830
What I don't like about this AutoUpdater for Mac is that sometimes, I get download errors and thus can not install the updates. The help is so useless -- it says to delete some of the older updates but doesn't say HOW! or where to find the download cache on a macOS system. I know where the cache is on Windows ..but Mac ..come on.

Version: 4.47
I'm having the same problem with MAU 4.47. I'm running Big Sure on an M1 iMac and the app keeps launching spontaneously and appearing in the dock. All very annoying. I've tried deleting and reinstalling. About to just uninstall permanently.

Version: 4.41
WTH! v4.41 opens & checks twice a day. No way to stop it. I have to manually quit the app! Previous versions never did this.

Version: 4.35
Runs for about 15 minutes, then stops. Is there any point to this app?

Version: 4.34
Rubbish software from MS. Crashes frequently and/or hangs computer for between 1 and 2 minutes... appalling software with little practical value when it can't update itself without crashing
zero stars is realistic evaluation
