HTC has been doing a great job updating Android apps in the Google Play store. On almost a weekly basis, we’ve seen one or two apps updated over the last two months. Yesterday, it was the HTC Clock with unlimited alarms and gentle alerts.
Though I haven’t been able to report each one, I have been keeping track of every HTC app that I notice requesting an update on my HTC One M7 and One M8. The last time I reported app updates it was for HTC Speak getting ready for Android Marshmallow.
Today I’d like to share a list of apps HTC has updated since the end of October up to mid-November and give you the developer details. I’ll start with the older first and if you see something that doesn’t look right let us know in the comments.

The HTC Car update was interesting for me to see, because I was already tracking the app was in the Google Play store so it’s possible that HTC removed it and re-introduced it for some reason. I emailed the contact account listed on the app page in Google Play over a week ago for clarification, but never received a response.
Are there any apps by HTC that I missed? Have you ever found any bugs and tried to report them using the contact info on the app page in Google Play? What’s the best way to send a report without giving the app a bad rating?
