Hi Eileen, I agree that iOS 8 wasn't exactly a polished product and actually it still isn't. However, whatever Apple did so that version numbers are apparently not read in iOS 7 any more is probably some change on the backend of the app store which they probably aren't even aware causes Voiceover not read the version of apps any more in the update list. You might want to write to the accessibility department and let them know.
Also, it's really rather easy to see if there are updates. There should actually be a number on the app store icon badge if there are updates, e.g. it would say App store, 2 items and this would indicate you have 2 updates. Sometimes this may not show immediately and you have to make sure of course that Badge Icon is turned on for App Store in Settings, Notifications. Anyhow, if you open the app store and double tap on the Updates tab at the bottom right of the screen and then review the screen starting at the top, you will see if there are updates for any of your apps whether the version number is read or not. Right now if I do this the first heading I get is this: Updated October 8, 2014 This is followed by 3 apps, Camfind, OneDrive and Paprika Recipe Manager which are all apps which I updated on October 8. Next comes the heading "Updated October 6, 2014" and the apps Appel store and Light Detector. It then goes on to Updated October 4, 2014 with the apps Speed Test and Spotify and the list goes on and on. You can turn the rotor to headings and go to all the various dates and then swipe right to see what was updated when. If there are updates they will be at the very top of the list under a heading which I can't remember what it says, it could be "current updates" or something like that, but it won't have a date.

I haven't gone back into the app store to see how else to obtain the information. It looks like I'll be spending more time going through all of my 80 or more apps to see if the versions have been updated. I'm just waiting for iOS 8.1 to be release and then I'll probably go and purchase my iPhone 6. I think Apple has really dropped the ball and is trying real hard to push all to iOS 8. I'm starting not to like their tactics because iOS 8 wasn't ready for prime time, but pushed it because of the release of the new phones. JMO.
