    i have had 3 games now that, when an update is available, i have to update it like 3 to 4 times..

    right now im having problems updating 'hook champ'...

    everytime i update it looks like its doing fine...

    then when i check for updated games a few days later, i get the same thing that 'hook champ' needs to be updated again..

    today i have done it 3 times..

    the previous game before this was 'adventure jones'. it finally 'stayed' after 4 times of doing it..

    anyone else have this problem, and is there a way to fix it? i looked at the games and it's always the same version...

    I have had this problem for a couple of weeks now. Sometimes it takes one update and other times it may take three or four. I am not really sure what the problem is.

    That just started happening to me these past few weeks, too. It gets REALLY annoying and I don't know why some games need several updates. Anyone know why this is happening and how to stop it?

    even tho this is really frustrating, at least i now know it's just not happening to me...

    so there is A problem, and i hope that devs that read this, and any apple employees that read this can respond in kind...

    WHO KNOWS
    I've downloaded the update for 33rd Division multiple times, but it's still in my list. The update however was applied. Weird.

    App Updates repeating

    Yeah, it's a quirky iPod/iPhone glitch of sorts. The update is almost always applied the first time around, but it continues to ask for it afterwards. If you can ignore the little red number on your screen, then no worries. :D It will eventually go away with time.

    At least it's better than when iPhone OS 2.0 came out, back when the store had just opened. I actually had one application update fail on me and proceed to thoroughly brick my phone. I had to get a new one from Apple.

    wow! so this is happening to quite a few people!!! the worst game so far for me is 'adventure jones'... it just will not disappear...

    'jetstuntcars' does the same thing to me as well.

    but it's funny cause almost all my other games, which i have like 6 pages full, have no problems..

    it's like a select few of games...around 5 of them that just refuse to update..
    sometimes i also have the problem where after i hit 'update' the app will just sit there and the update bar will not do a thing..

    i have to reboot, my iphone, and try again..... very frustrating..

    how does one get this to apple so they know about this problem?

    It's happening to me as well. Apple needs to fix this bug, it's bad enough that itunes is so slow!

    this has been a problem for me many times. I usually don't update it until a week or two has passed bc by then most likely it will be fixed.
