The nice feature (for me) is that it tells me when upgrades are available, and works well for simple upgrades. (When I have something more complicated to do (or maybe just by habit), I use apt-get.) Apper was pre-installed on Jessie and set up to run on boot, but is not set up properly -- it does not have root permission to actually install anything -- it notifies me when upgrades are available and then I use apt-get to install them. Now that I know about kdesudo, I might try to run apper under kdesudo and see if that solves the problem. If synaptic, as somebody else has mentioned, helps with more complicated upgrades (where maybe lots of packages have to be removed and then (I hope) reinstalled, I might give synaptic a try.
