Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/BoostIO/BoostNote-App/issues/728

Current behavior

As of 0.11.5 (and earlier) the built-in updater works, but that's about it. It could be clearer what is going on. Also more options commonly found in updaters are missing.

Suggested improvements

Prompt options

When an update is found the user has a pop-up with the following options:

Yes (downloads and installs update)
No, skip this update (does what it says, user won't be prompted till new update)
Remind me later (suppresses update, user will be reminded on next full app launch)

There could still be an X on the update prompt, which could behave identical to the Remind me later option.

Update progress

Once the update process has started the user has no clue about this. A download progress bar (in a new pop-up or something) would greatly help here. This will be helpful as downloading a 121MB update can take a while. After downloading the user should be informed that the update is being installed, either with the same pop-up from earlier, or somewhere in the UI. A progress bar for installation would be nice, but isn't necessary.

Restart process (aka Apply update)

The user should be able to choose when they want to switch to the new version after installation was complete. Or there should be sufficient warning ahead of time so the user isn't interrupted in the middle of taking notes.

Install update without checking for updates

This last suggestion might be nice for users who click the No, or Remind me later options. If an update was found, then a new button would appear underneath Check for Updates labelled: Install update (0.12.0).
