This app is so cool! I just got a smart Samsung washer/dryer and wasn't aware of the Smart Things app. It's very easy to add devices with the Samsung QR code on the machines and gives you all of your laundry details at a glance so you can see what part of the cycle it's on and the time left. I'm super impressed and can't wait to add more!

So un-user friendly it's ridiculous. I have a samsung phone and a Samsung tv. You'd think it would be easy to screen mirror so I can look at my pictures on the tele with my family. But nope. I spent 15 minutes trying to find screen mirror, and looking at instructions on Google. Only to just give up. Utterly over complicated rubbish.

2025-06-27 TV & lights were connected & ran smoothly until this past week & now it keeps saying offline & the Smart Things cloud is marked as not connected. Contacted support & with the recent update they have eliminated all TV models before 2021!?!? My BF can connect to the TV with his iPhone but I can't with my new Samsung. Edit: The response below from them doesn't work because of the reason above. I need the app version I had before this.

Hi Bernadine. Chelsea from Samsung here. Apologies! Samsung Connect allows you to control many smart home devices & Samsung TVs, but I understand it's not for everyone. Even though the App does lots of great things, you can revert from the update via the "How can I move back to Quick connect" steps on our FAQ page: http://sams.ng/connect.faq
