When they are using devices in their system, no software should be updated. It’s a lot better to use a stable system and upgrade software and hardware all at the same time ever two or more years. I used the free programmable PDFCreator for a client app, and every time an update was pushed out things broke. Finally stopped the updates and now it’s been flawless.
The apps are not the issue - the updates are for content. Aviation charts change very often.
