Evernote’s transition to Google Cloud Platform

Please excuse the loose relation to this specific aspect of their relationship, but there's something bothering me about Google & Evernote.

I recently set up a consumer grade LG Android smartphone. A few days later I got a push notification inviting me to install Evernote[1]. I wonder who gets paid for that: the telco, LG, or Google? How does one unsubscribe from such app adverts? By disabling Google Play Store notifications? I really didn't know push ads for apps are a thing. Besides the annoyance, it seems like an unfair advantage over all the other top apps.

Tap and hold the notification and Android will show you what app it belongs to. You can also view the most recent notifications in Android settings.

Thanks!! I was hoping someone might drop a tip like that, so I kept the notification around. Indeed.. After a long press, it reveals that it's owned by the Evernote[1] app. Apparently it comes preinstalled. The gear button results in a crash, but I was able to block notifications under the info icon. Probably best to take the time and purge all the bundled apps, before another one pops up.

Almost certainly the OEM (LG) or the telco. I have seen a lot of bundle/notification/ad deals from both types of entities, but never from Google.

I have the Kindle app on my phone and it sends a notification just about every day. I didn't mind because often their recommendations were interesting to me and I would occasionally buy the book they were pushing.

Then they started pushing magazines. I wish there was some way to tell Amazon that I'm not going to subscribe to a magazine. I ended up turning off notifications.

It's LG. HTC used to (maybe still) do the same.

I just realized I can make another ~700 polite off-topic questions, before my karma runs out. That's actually very acceptable :-D. First time I see it as currency.
