Samsung makes some of the best TVs, which aren't exactly easy to set up or navigate. Samsung smart TVs run on Tizen OS, which may be filled with the best streaming services and even cloud gaming platforms.
Simple tasks, such as installing your favourite apps onto your Samsung smart TV become incredibly complex. Interestingly, there are two different ways to download an app to a Samsung smart TV.
It's entirely dependent on what kind of apps you're downloading, but for the most part, you'll be able to find everything you need in Samsung's App Store.
Gadinsider has compiled a guide on how to download apps on Samsung smart TVs.
