### 1/5 — Update the app

*2015-11-08*

Thought Samsung was competing with Apple? Obviously can't update an app even.

### 1/5 — This a showroom app

*2015-11-03*

You see what they don't tell you is that without today Samsung doesn't have a customer focused plan built on brand loyalty, they only want to sell.  See there is no remote apps on iTunes that supports their TV's and if your dog chewed your remote (because the shape looks like a bone) you will have a 50" black expensive picture on the wall, until you pay for the 158$ remote.

Before purchasing anything it is always wise to test your abilities with it first and learn as much as you can. That is what makes this a perfect app for anyone in the market to purchase the new beloved Samsung Smart TVs.

### 5/5 — Презо

Описание возможностей смарт тв

### 4/5 — It's what it is doh

*2013-01-18*

Blimey if you don't understand what the app is then don't install it.

The description is obviously a bit too hard for some yo understand so to put it simply this app tells you all about the features of Samsung Smart TV's, simples.

As for the app it does exactly what the description says and is very hand for those that can actually work it out and are looking at buying a Smart tv.

### 4/5 — Good short videos re: TV'S features

*2012-08-17, version 1.0*

Can learn about features before you purchase a Samsung smart tv, and can reference it to get to know the terminology during first weeks of tv use when you've bought it. It's also good to know about it's accessories that are available if you're interested in them.

### 4/5 — Itv

### 2/5 — Lame update 2.0.1
