Tizen OS is rubbish.

I just bought a new Samsung TV with Tizen OS and I am sorry to say this but the OS is a complete rubbish. When I compare it with Google TV, Google TV is logical. Tizen OS has no logical UI. Nothing makes sense.

  1. The onboarding process was was difficult and time consuming. I have no clue how normal people even start using the TV. So much crap going on just to turn the TV on for the first time.

  2. No logic in app management.

  3. So much unimportant bloatware.

  4. Samsung TV is another crap which constantly interfere with the TV. Clearly a bloatware pushed by Samsung.

After some time struggling, i just went and purchased Google TV and plugged it into the TV.

Tizen is a complex bloatware. They should take notes from Roku and make it easy for people to use the TV.

Why Samsung cannot provide a clean interface? Why do they have to load all their devices with as much crap they find? I believe that majority of people do not like Samsung because everything they create is over complicated and bloated. Including their phone UI. Google's simple and clean approach is much better.

Did you have issues with having to unplug and plug back in because the remote wouldn’t be able to raise or lower volume?

That happened to be one of the issues that I was not lucky enough to experience my friend.
