Samsung TV Cast is a frustrating waste of time! – TV Cast for Samsung TV App Review

First, let me say that I decided to use this app because the Netflix app on the tv just stopped working. Incidently, that app lets you pick something to watch and gets stuck in loading… So, I thought I’d stream Netflix from my iPhone using this app. The only thing I could get to work was the video tutorial of running the streaming app, and only once. Then ads to upgrade the app to have ad-free access. But streaming never worked again. I bought this tv because of the advertised features. Nothing that I want works after a fees years of it working. Also worth mentioning is that the tv does automatic updates, which the owner can not prevent if internet connectivity is desired, and during those updates, apps get removed (for example Amazon Prime Video was removed from my TV with my permission or consent). I am outraged that a TV manufacturer feels entitled to make such changes angainst my will and against my interests. I strongly recommend against buying any Samsung products. Customer service is just an additional waste of time and very frustrating. In case you’re interested, I am a software and electrical engineer so I can assure you that my problems are not from a lack of understanding or following documentation or using Google to find solutions (where you can find many others with similar frustration). TV is a big enough waste of time without the additional frustration caused by Samsung’s business practices wasting time without any entertainment benefit. This is as polite as I can be while warning anyone that cares to stay away. For what it’s worth I have had much better experience with LG TVs (and their OLED models have superior image quality, many more apps which actually work).
