Mine's been doing that way since the beginning of iOS 7, when they added auto update. I think it works, but takes forever. Sometimes 24 hours. But I check the store before that long most days. I have another app that alerts me when I have an update. It's red badge is more prompt. It's called AppShopper. You have to mark apps in it that you own and it gives you alerts. Also a wish list for alerts.

The App Store app just doesn't do right. When I restored my phone, it worked good for 2 days, then stopped.
