It’s especially frustrating because I don’t think I’ve seen a single app store on a distro prominently show when the last update was for a flatpak app. Even flatpaks own website requires scrolling all the way down to the bottom of an app to see that info.
Plus the app store interfaces/apps are terribly slow and bloated, gnome software will sit in the background doing nothing useful and consume 700MB+ of RAM, searching for an app takes forever, and it will lock up sometimes while installing so you can’t continue browsing/searching for more apps. I’ve tried other stores and they all share the same issues for the most part.
Overall the whole situation is just pretty bad and frustrating. I use the terminal for flatpak updates and such, but it’s not any good for finding new apps.
