Do we know the real reason why there is a legacy and a new ST iOS app?

Thanks. Is there anything useful that the new app has that the classic one doesn’t have?

"SmartThings Classic" vs "SmartThings (Samsung Connect)"

What’s the difference? What’s the expected rollout to existing users?

Things I like BETTER about the new app vs Classic

This is a great thread. The “new App” is something I’m looking forward to, with a few concerns: Members of this Community / “the developer community” haven’t been told about all these new features and characteristics of the new app, nor the details of what is or will be deprecated from the old app. While I don’t request an exact timeline, surely there is a master plan as to what the new app will be comprised of? New SmartThings customers are told to go directly to the new app, without being given an explanation of the readiness (or lack thereof) of it vs. the advance features they may be able to use (in the meantime) in the Classic app. The exact relationship between the new App and the new API is not clear. Is the new API mandatory for SmartApps and/or DHs to run in the new App?…
