Description
Currently Apps installed via repos link to the original repo page. There the version and date of release can be seen.
For IPAs loaded manually currently no extra information is visible. It would be trivial to pull the version of the APP and the sideload date in "My Apps" below the name or in a small windoid after clicking.
With this, checking for updates for IPAs not present in any repo (or in Repos that have no rush for updating them) would be nice.
