Why iOS 7's auto-updating apps aren't always great
   
      
      
         




   

One feature of iOS 7 that had me quite excited was its ability to automatically download app updates in the background. Both iOS 7 and OS X Mavericks have a simple setting that lets your computer or mobile device automatically grab updates while on Wi-Fi, saving you both taps and time.


But now I’m considering turning off the feature altogether. Why? Because I’ve been burned too many times lately by bunk updates that render apps completely unusable.


Take for example iTeleport, an iPhone and iPad app I use to connect to my computers when I’m not in front of them. The most recent update, which was supposed to add a new layout and hardware keyboard support for iOS 7 instead offered only a black screen when connecting to a computer while my iPad was in landscape orientation. Had I not had auto-updating turned on and read the reviews on version 6.1.7 before updating, I’d have held out for a fix.



The iOS 7 update to iTeleport is fantastic http://t.co/k5MxwjZD5C
