Ratings and reviews

Frustrating and non-functional at most times. To make matters worse, Samsung has discontinued this app and replaced it with Samsung Smart Things. The problem is the Smart Things interface drops so many of the features of this app. Dropped functionality includes having multiple profiles, animated wallpapers, Voice ID, Memo, Whiteboard, To-do, and Calendar features. Why did I buy this $4000 "smart" fridge again????

Worked fine when I got the fridge 2 months ago, but after a few weeks, I keep getting kicked out of the app with the the failed to connect to fridge notice. I've uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times, and it still will not work. Im using a Samsung phone. This is crazy. All these people saying the same things about the same problem and it hasn't been fixed. I won't be submitting a detailed explanation elsewhere because it's the same as everyone else. Please fix your app!!

I will never buy a Samsung "smart" device again. This app was unavailable for the latest version of Android for 9+ months, and now it fails with "unable to register fridge" every time I use it, and in the rate case it works, it shows glitched and broken images from inside the fridge, often days old and not the most recent. Edit: I have contacted them dozens of times, most departments don't even know what "family hub" is, and they will spend weeks giving you the run around. Avoid this at all cost
