The Smart Hub menu accessible via the Smart Hub button on the remote consists of a full screen, which displays your currently viewed TV channel in a small box, while the rest your TV settings and content selection options — including Samsung Apps — are displayed on the remaining portion of the screen. With models, the Samsung App home screen displays the apps by category: Video , Lifestyle , and Sports. Like with the through models, you can search for additional apps via the Search function.

Pressing the blue D button on the remote control changes the way the apps are sorted — by Name , Date , Most Used , or Favorite. To add an app to your favorites an, press the green B button on the remote when the app is highlighted. Let's see how to download apps on your Samsung smart TV to expand what you can do with it.

There's even a selection of games, if you really want to play those with a TV remote for some reason. If you can't find the app you're looking for by scrolling through the menu, select the Search magnifying glass icon at the top-right to enter a query. When you open an app's page, you'll see information about it, like its size, date of last update, screenshots, and a brief description. Method 4. You'll need to change the input to use your Apple TV unit if you haven't yet done so. If your TV isn't connected to the Internet, you won't be able to add apps.
You cannot add apps to an Apple TV if it's a 3rd generation model or older. Select the App Store and tap your remote's touch surface. The App Store is a dark-blue app with a white "A" made of writing utensils on it. Doing this will open the App Store. If you're using your iPhone's Apple TV app, you'll first need to open it. Scroll through the App Store's apps. The App Store loads to the "Featured" page by default, where you can view popular apps.

You may be prompted to enter your Apple ID password for paid apps. Method 5. You'll need to change the input to use your Fire Stick if you haven't yet done so. Open the sidebar. To do so, simply use the left side of your remote's circular directional dial to scroll to the left until the sidebar pops out from the left side of the screen.
It's the circular button in the middle of the directional dial. You'll find Apps about halfway down the sidebar. Select an app filter. You can scroll down to select the Spotlight tab to view featured apps, for example, or the Top Free tab to scroll through the top-rated free apps. If you just want to browse all apps, select the Categories feature and then select a category in which you're interested.
Select an app and press your remote's "Select" button. Select Get and press your remote's "Select" button. You should see Get below and to the right of the app's icon. Your selected app will begin downloading to your Amazon Fire TV. You'll see the app's price instead of Get if the app isn't free.
