Just bought the SmartThings hub...am I installing the right app?

The two apps have different features, so it depends on exactly what you need.

If you want to set up rules using a Samsung smart TV or a Samsung smart appliance, you will have to use the newer connect app. But that one is still a work in progress, and does not have all the features of the classic app yet.
