I had ...well sorta still have ... a fairly old Samsung "smart" TV. It was great until the stuff I used it for no longer supported it, or Samsung stopped supporting the apps ... I forget which. So I got one of those little Roku remotes, and it's good ... but they just changed the screen layout so now I have about 8 more clicks to get to Youtube and I can't be bothered to figure out how to customize the screen arrangement ... again. Meanwhile the Fitbit was great until Google bought them. Sigh. Now it seems like every year they are going to make major changes to the app, and claim that it is to provide more features "users requested". Well they never asked my opinion. I just got used to last year's "update" and they are going to move things all around again. One reason I won't pay money for the app.
Oh and the Samsung dumb "smart" TV now wants to update just about every other day, and interrupts my relaxation time with a notification I have to dismiss. LOL, sigh.
Meanwhile, TP Link hasn't made major changes to their app since I can remember - and IT'S GREAT. Simple, straightforward, let's me manage my handful of smart bulbs all in one place, set schedules, etc. I just pray they don't get bought by Google.
