It is painless and doesn't take too long. Sometimes there are updates for your important apps, and they come with bugs that render the apps useless until the developer pushes out another update to fix the bugs. The problem is, you have no way to go back a version and you are at the mercy of the developer fixing the bugs. This is why it is good practice backup up the app before you update it, just in case of the worst case scenario.
