You can reply to messages or listen to podcasts straight from the river. Also notable is the ability to interact with notifications. You can “X” them out on the side to make them go away - but again, a swipe would be more satisfying. Tapping the top of the pile will expand them down. Again borrowing from iOS, notifications are now stacked by group. Now accessible by clicking the date and time in the menu bar (versus a devoted button), the two most appealing changes here are grouped notifications and widgets. Like much of the rest of the updates, it’s about how Apple uses space. Apple has continued tweaking the feature - and it gets a pretty sizable overhaul here. Nor does it fit into my existing workflow. I understand why Apple thought to bring the center to the desktop several updates ago, but it’s just not as centralized as it is on mobile. I won’t lie: I’ve never been a big Notification Center user.
