Obtainium

IMO the best way to keep one's apps up to date.

Absolutely. I end up using it in conjunction with gplay and fdroid to see which ones are updated sooner. Very useful.

Most of the time it's gplay, if the app is on it... Probably because the developer gets the most traffic through there. Sometimes its days to weeks earlier if its on gplay. Others, github/fdroid is a toss up. Pretty similar
