Help Just a quick question(s) on the App Market...

[BIG CAT 7]

When do you know if an App has been updated? Will it notify you or do you need to check? Also, when you purchase an App and delete it can you just go back and re-download the paid app and it will not charge you again? Just curious. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks..

If you have sync enabled it will notify. But you can always check =D

Yeah you can re-download purchased apps free of charge.

How do I know if I am synced?

I know you can open up the market then hit menu>downloads and it will tell you if you have an update available. And yes your paid apps are tied with your gmail account so you won't have to buy them again

If you download through the app market, I've noticed that if one of your apps has an update, you'll get a notification if you happen to open your Market app. I check on my apps daily on AppBrain anyways which tells me when updates are available as well. If you delete a paid app, you do not have to pay for it again since it is connected through your Google account.

That's the way it's supposed to work. But there is a known issue with it not working. Check it out here: Droid X Buglist :: Forum • View topic - App Update Notification Does Not Work

I manually synched my phone with AppBrain yesterday and got five update notifications. So updates don't seem to work automatically, but I don't know that I have it set to do that (if that's even an option). I'll just have to open AppBrain on my phone more often.

I haven't seen that option, so I just open AppBrain almost daily (part of my waste time/bored routine).
