App store disappeared from TV

[TwistedMental]

The app store has disappeared from my TV. I can go into apps, but all it has is search and suggestions and editors choice. How do I bring back the store and categories?

That's a weird one @TwistedMental.  Could you provide the full model of the television?  Maybe we can help get things up and running?  Also, have you updated the software on the television by any chance?

QN65Q90TAFXZA. I have the software and apps set to auto update.

It's not a weird one because there's a heap of us here that have the same issue. And who knows how many others who have found this info. Samsung TV updated a week or so ago for me, no app store - useless! Model # UA43BU8000W when will you fix this?

Same here! I cannot download or even access the app search function! all I get are Samsung provided apps and Recommended! Parental controls are off... says "app controls" are not enabled... Its a Model UN65DU7200FXZA. I was trying to download the MLB(tv) app. and yes, the software is up to date... when I initially set up the tv in Dec, I added apps but it won't let me now!

I just posted the same issue of no apps "card" choice to the left of my installed apps. It was where I managed my apps and found new ones.

Same here. Nice work, Samsung!

I found out that there is a app choice at the top area. But just go to search on tje left. Next you scroll to the bottom where the apps resulting from the search are listed. I found this by calling Samsung. I also expressed how awful and cumbersome this is now.

Yes, it is horrible and just stupid. Glad I saw this before buying a new main TV. Sony is looking good.

I still love my Samsung everything. I like the easy integration with all products. As much as we have all gone through change this is a moderate annoyance that will be hopefully forgotten as we get used to it.
I would not want to have tvs that didn't have the same platform. That way what you do on one is auto done on the other. I have Samsung phones and three tvs.
Just my thoughts.
