How Evernote delivers app updates to our customers

Our goal is to deliver updates to the Evernote apps on a frequent and consistent basis, while maintaining a high bar for quality and performance.

There are three factors that determine the availability of the latest version of Evernote:

1. Your operating system and platform
2. The rules of the ‘staged rollout' process
3. Where you go to download the app

For each update that we release:

• Every new update and feature in Evernote is extensively tested by our Quality Assurance (QA) team before we make it available to the public. This includes both automated and manual testing for bug fixes, performance, and new features.
• To provide the best possible experience for customers, updates are delivered as ‘staged rollouts' over specific timeframes. We start by releasing the new version of an app to a small percentage of customers which can be based on geography, operating system, or, when the app store doesn't provide those types of controls, a randomly selected set of eligible customers. We monitor support tickets and forum feedback closely, and broaden the rollout percentage of eligible customers as these signals remain positive. This allows us to quickly address any new bugs that may not have surfaced during our QA process.
• Different app stores have different rules for releases. The rules, targeting capabilities, and processes for notifying customers and making app updates available are different, depending on where you download the app.

The sections below explain the details and differences for each operating system.
