Why are apps like Fairemail, Voyager, etc. updated so often? Why don’t they collect the changes and release them once a month or something like that?

It’s interesting that every time I open Voyager I see an update warnin at the bottom. Is that really required?

    Because someone in the dev team had the time to hook up their continuous integration scripts with Play Store publishing API, to the despair and jealosity of dev teams of all other apps.

    This is how software should be managed. You make a change to your software, push one extra button, and in one hour all your users receive it.

    Non-technical explanation: because they can.
