New to Smartthings... which app is best?

[jkp]

Best recommendation is to use the Classic app at this point. Users do need the Samsung Connect app to initially set up any of the newer hubs but after that they can use the Classic app. The Samsung Connect app is needed for Samsung appliances and TVs.

SPECIFIC differences between "SmartThings Classic" (the V2 app) and “SmartThings (Samsung Connect)” (the V3 app)

this thread is intended only as a listing of specific differences between the two apps, not for complaints, suggestions, discussions of design philosophy, bug reports, questions about migration, joke memes or anything else. Just individual feature differences. We originally used the abbreviation STSC for “SmartThings (Samsung Connect)”, but that never caught on, so now we are calling it the V3 app since it came out with the V3 hub. The V3 app is changing rapidly, so feel free to edit this as needed. The official knowledgebase FAQ is at the following link.
