I really hate the notifications. I agree with Thefryhole. They take up important screen space and are intrusive, but to make matters worse, clicking on one of the notifications often takes me to a website and away fromthe task I want to complete. And today, it took me to a video on YouTube which was preceded by an advert I could not dismiss. Please understand that this is anti-productive, not at all why I purchase a subscription to Evernote and have done since 2013. To add insult to injury, even when I have reviewed a notification, it remains in a list of previous notifications. If you want to tell me about a new feature, but in the list of changes that shows up each time the program updates itself, send me an email, or put it in a regular note that I can delete easily once I've looked at it. But DON'T do it this way; it is intrusive and annoying, and it's one more thing that is pushing me away from Evernote towards one of the range of excellent alternatives that cost a lot less, or are free.
