In the software manager, reviews often complain about how the packages are out of date. But can't you upgrade the packages using sudo apt upgrade and sudo apt update?

    Most of the reviews are about the versions of the package present in the repositories. This is explained in https://askubuntu.com/questions/151283/why-dont-the-ubuntu-repositories-have-the-latest-versions-of-software – Thomas Ward Jan 13 '21 at 15:07

No. apt upgrade only installs updates to packages that are already installed; it will not add new dependencies.

The command you want is apt full-upgrade which will also install updates that have dependences that are not already present.
