But it's not just auto-update. I can disable auto-update in the Google Play Store, but at least I easily see if updates are available and can still selectively update apps with the press of one button.

For me, the better solution would be F-Droid. Easy update process but the apps are mostly open-source etc.

Ah, good point. That convenience is not terribly important to me, so I didn't consider it.
