Samsung Flow

Not a robust software setup! Samsung flow app is unable to make a connection with Samsung smart phone (made visible to pair)

This is silly. You have to have a TPM module on your motherboard to use this. That's security overload. You should have the option to use this without a TPM module if you are just a home user and understand the reduction in security. I am not a CIA agent, I can handle not having enterprise level security on my laptop. Too bad.

So first and foremost, I'm using a VZW S8/Galaxy Book 12. I'm now updating my review. I've been with Samsung flow since the first version. It was a little clunky when it came to using the unlock feature. Almost down right gimmicky. It was infinitely faster just to type in PIN than go through the 3 steps to get the PC to unlock, assuming it hadn't already disabled to connection to the phone. So on to version 2. They had a tough time rolling it out. I realize that's the reason for most of the poor ratings. However, once they finally did get it rolled out, it works quite well. My only disappointment is that they changed the background to white. My Windows 10 is setup with the dark theme, and version 1 was a dark theme. I appreciate the change, but would be nice to have the option of either. Regardless, version 2 works flawlessly for me. A nice job and I hope they continue to refine it. Would be nice to be able to start a texting chain with Samsung Flow

Prompt customer support to get me up and running with an S6 and a Samsung NP940X3L laptop running Win10. The features are pretty simple but functional. Would be nice to be able to text much like MightyText, but really you can only reply to texts that come in. Notifications cleared on Flow do not clear on your phone (kind of annoying). Plus the apps that allow you to share between screens is limited. I imagine with time this app will improve.

It gives an error message that my computer does not meet the minimum system requirements to run Samsung Flow

Cons: - I had a hard time setting up this app with my Galaxy Book for the first time. The description is not easy to digest. A lot of back and forth with the phone. - The notification sounds gets very annoying when it syncs. It just makes sound for every single notification it received. And apparently, why would I want to receive notification on of email ads over again on my tablet. I wish I can customize what goes into the tablet. I think only message matters. Pros: - The drag and drop transfer is very convenient. I used to have a hard time wirelessly transferring files between Windows and phone. This is a good paint point they addresses on. - Fingerprint unlock, it's convenient when I get used to it. But it did take me a while to figure out the step. But sometimes I would just prefer to type in the 4-digit PIN, which is so much easier. I get the idea that fingerprint maybe more secured, but most of the time, we just tend to do easier things.

It was pretty cool the day I set up my Tab Pro S, now it says "Error. You can not access Bluetooth device." I guess it's back to SideSync.

Cannot download this app hence cannot login through finger swipe. Very disappointing. Neither Samsung nor Microsoft provide any explanation...
