Description

The dark green version badge on the right side (in the Installed tab) could do more.
Currently the same appearance is used each of these statuses:

- recommended version is installed (no newer available)
- recommended version is installed but a newer (not yet recommended) one is available
- recommended version is installed but a newer one is available on a different repo
- non recommended version is installed (the latest available version)
- non recommended version is installed (newer one available)

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe**
What _could_ be just a glance over the list of installed apps now requires the following workflow:

- Click on installed app
- scroll down to see its status
- swipe back
- then if the list of installed apps spans more than one page scroll down to where you were.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
Anything of these would help:

1. The different status could be marked by color or shape of the version number.
2. Or maybe "-2" or "(-1)" if it's two versions behind or one version behind in a different repo.
3. Or maybe to avoid the negative connotation of "-" just have a small extra dot to see something differs.
4. Or in the updates tab an app could be listed (grey?) if a newer version is available but not yet recommended

**Additional context**
in my list of installed apps OsmAnd, F-Droid client, K-9 Mail, FairEmail sometimes have updates which are not yet marked as recommended

Thank you!
