I enjoy using Evernote and I have it installed on at least three computers.
In the last few months I noticed that Evernote had frequent version updates on macOS that required too much manual work on my part for me not to suggest an improvement to the update system.
Given the maturity of Evernote, it would be appreciated if it could update itself on restart. I shouldn't have to chose to update now, or later, wait for the installer to download the entire new Evernote (instead of a differential patch), wait for the new version to install, and sometimes wait for notes to be updated to the new format.
Most macOS apps that do the update process nicely use the Sparkle framework. Please consider moving to this model. It will probably also help with customer support if everyone is running the latest version automatically.
For those who still like to handle updates manually, the preferences could support a manual, or update only when approved, option.
