We can see if an application is installed by seeing the tick. If an the Homebrew Browser believes that there is an updated version of an application you have installed it shows the question mark. When you choose an application you are interested in, the following information is shown about the application. You are also shown the download or update if you have the application installed and delete buttons. As the homebrew list contains more and more applications it's important to be able to sort homebrew applications.

You are able to sort the list by name, date, downloads and rating. Name icon — This icon sorts the list by name. Date icon — This icon sorts the list by date format. By default the listings are sorted by latest releases. Star icon — This icon sorts the list by popularity. Popularity is determined by the ratings that users give to an application. Thumbs up icon — This iron sorts the list by the number of times all users have downloaded the application.

When select a sort method you will see a small up and down arrow beside that sort method's icon. These arrows represent how the list is being sorted. When clicking an icon for the first time, it will sort the list highest to lowest. When clicking the icon again, it sorts the list lowest to highest. Selecting date two times will sort the list oldest top to latest bottom.

You are able to give applications ratings between 1 to 5 stars higher is better. Your rating will be sent and stored on our server which will calculate the overall rating of the application once every 24 hours. To give an application a rating, click on the application from the list, and select the "Your Rating" text or the stars underneath. You will then be shown the stars and allowed to select a rating.

Once done, the rating will be sent to the server. If the rating is accepted, you will see your own rating on the application. Once you select an application, it shows you information on that application and you are then able to download the application by pressing the Download button. You will be shown a progress bar showing the progress of the download which may take some time.

After it's downloaded the zip file, it will extract the zip file whilst giving you a progress on that too. Once it has all being completed, the download button will disappear and the Delete button will become active.

When a new version of an application comes out and you have an older version of that application installed, you will be able to press the update button which will download the latest version of that application for you. You will be shown a progress bar exactly the same as when downloading. The Homebrew Browser allows you select applications which you wish to add in a queue to be downloaded.

This queue is represented by the Download arrow found on the bottom right of the screen. This will bring up a Plus icon which shows that the application is in the queue. You can remove applications from the queue by pressing the Minus - button which will remove the Plus icon. Once you are ready to download applications, first view the queue by pressing the Download arrow.

Here you will see all the applications ready to be downloaded. To begin the automatic downloading of applications, press the download arrow again. Once you begin, you will be shown the amount of applications to be downloaded and the progress like you do when downloading applications yourself. Once completed, it will bring you back to the download queue where you will find that all your applications have a tick on them which mean that they are installed.

Updating your applications is similar to adding applications to the download queue. To continue press the download queue button again and it will automatically update all applications which are out of date. Once finished, it will return you back to your applications installed list. Deleting applications is once again similar to adding applications to the download queue. You can access the menu by pressing the Home button on your Wiimote.

If disabled, your ratings will not be retrieved from the server. You will still be able to rate applications. Select this to turn on or off the background music.

Enabling offline mode means the Homebrew Browser will not initialise your network or use the network at all, good if you want to manage your applications.
