User reviews

App won't even start. Every time I try to start it, a circle just spins. ONCE it actually let me enter login info, then asked again, and again, sending verification codes, then it recognized my user name, but won't start again. So far, this is useless. And I see from other feedback that the issue of it wiping user data hasn't been fixed?? Come on! That's why I stopped using this in the first place. Just as well, since it won't work. And keeps telling me there is an update, but there isn't.

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.

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
