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????

UPDATE...I am thrilled to report the app is once again functional and everyones calendars can be seen on the fridge. The most useful function for a busy family! Have one of the original family hub refrigerators, was pleased because the calendar syncing was particularly useful in a family of conflicting schedules. Now you have made the app extinct and replaced it with a useless smart things app. Really makes me mad.

Without this app, I can no longer use the shipping list. It did not show up on my phone in smartthings. Most other apps and features I don't use because they have been removed over time and got tired of switching to whatever new temporary garbage you replace it with. I wasn't ask that impressed with the refrigerator when I initially purchased it, but I really wish I would have didn't less and got something better. So disgusting with samsung, I want to get rid of all their products.
