Ratings and reviews

Had previously setup completely, "worked" since setup then the most recent update destroyed all settings! Not going to use software that wipes working settings. IMMATURE PROGRAMMING! Further many times watch would "lock" during the day when it stayed continually on wrist. Looks like Microsoft programmers working at Samsung. Same childish programmers, same lack of real security.

It seems like every time this app is upgraded (frequently) I need to reload card information. It's a pain in the butt when you're trying to use the watch app and discover that it's necessary to go through the process again on the phone, which is then synced with watch. On top of that, the app name seems to evolve as it's updated. Is it Samsung Pay or Samsung Wallet or maybe Samsung Wallet/Pay (watch) or are they all the same? On the plus side, the app is accepted by almost every vender.

Great, until yesterday. Was working fine for months. All of a sudden, it started getting declined. I contacted my bank, thinking they were at fault. They told me there's no declined transactions on their part and to contact Samsung Pay. Well... I tried to contact them and it worked so well, that I'm trying to do it in a review. Hopefully, they'll get back to me now
