Samsung Smart TV

Just like mobile apps, TV apps come in a variety of categories and features, offering information, entertainment and social media networking through the living room screen. Your selection of apps expands the functionality of your TV set in the same way mobile apps define what you can do with a smartphone.



The key difference, though, is that the TV is often at the center of home and you’ll likely share the app experience with your family and friends. It is no surprise that the list of popular Samsung TV apps includes video sharing, games for family and education apps.

Just last week, Samsung Apps, our TV app store launched in February 2010, celebrated the milestones of 1,000 registered applications and 10 million downloads. With help from our Samsung Apps colleagues, Samsung Village took a look into different types and features of the most-sought Samsung TV apps.


  • As you can imagine, online video apps are at the top of the download list, both globally and regionally. These apps connect your TV set to a sea of video content on the Web and let you appreciate them on a bigger screen! YouTube ranked atop the chart, while Vimeo (video sharing) and vTuner (Internet streamed media) made it among the top five.
  • On-demand news applications are also high up on the list. The mobile Internet gave us unlimited access to news and information anytime and anywhere, so why should we wait for regular news on TV? On Samsung Smart TVs, BBC News and WSJ Live offer top news in video and text throughout the day. CNBC Real-Time app and TIME TV are popular too.
  • As family entertainment makes an important part of the Smart TV experience, games, sports and education apps are steady sellers on Samsung Apps. A variety of games are available from classic ones such as Pac-Man and Tetris to sports genre like Let’s Golf and Homerun Battle 3D, and to educational games for kids.
  • Locally specialized apps are playing a big role in the success of Smart TV apps, thanks to local insights and contributions from our diverse app developer community. “Lovefilm” in the UK, “Berliner Philharmoniker” in Germany, and “Telstra’s NRL Game Analyser” in Australia are the examples of such Smart TV apps.


By number, the game category accounts for a quarter of all the apps listed on Samsung Apps, followed by information, education and lifestyle.

As televisions become smarter and our app developing ecosystem grows, Samsung is excited to provide more apps and content that will help you enjoy the smart life!
