App store and updates

I am getting a message that my portainer app installed from app store has a update for about 1-2 months but the app store tells me its up to date, so my general thought is if apps are provided by community members (big thanks for the effort) is : would it be better to install all apps via their original source like github and take the effort to dig into the docker how to´ s for the long run

Portainer is 2.31 in appstore, current version would be 2.39.5.

On other nas system there is a distinction between apps provides and maintained by the team and third party .

I probably would run the extra mile and reinstall my zima and add dockers from their original source rather than risk of having a abandoned projekt that makes it more complicated to update or am I missing some thing

You can update the app image just by going back into the settings and going to where you see the tag 2.31 and then choosing the “latest” tag instead. Save the settings and it will update.
