# BC Friday Tips #61 Check AppSource App Update History

[Read the post](https://thatnavguy.com/blog/2026/bc-friday-tips-61-check-appsource-app-update-history/) · That NAV Guy (Teddy Herryanto, MVP) · 2026-01-16 · 108 words · tier community · reviewed (checked by Opus)

> When evaluating AppSource apps for Business Central, check the last updated date before installing. Apps without recent updates risk containing bugs or failing to use current AL features since the platform changes with each release.

## Key points

- Check when an AppSource app was last updated before installing it
- Treat an app that has gone a long time without updates as a risk
- Business Central changes with every release, so stale apps may contain bugs
- Apps that are not maintained may also miss newer AL features

## Context

- Features: update history tracking
