"Stable, User-Friendly, But Limited in Customization"
What do you like best about Tizen?

I appreciate how Tizen offers fast boot times and smooth multitasking, which ensures a stable experience, even on budget TVs. The minimalistic and user-friendly interface makes it easy to navigate. I also love the tight integration with smart home controls like Bixby, Alexa, and Google Assistant, making it convenient to manage my smart home devices. Moreover, the pre-installed major streaming apps like Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney Hotstar enhance my viewing experience, providing seamless access to my favorite content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tizen?

I find the limited app ecosystem restrictive, as it only allows pre-installed apps like Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney Hotstar, and restricts the installation of new software. This limitation affects my ability to customize my experience further. Additionally, data transfer is restricted as it cannot be done to non-Samsung devices lacking Tizen compatibility. Customization options are limited since third-party launchers and deeper interface personalization using metas and other software are not possible. Also, I encounter bloatware issues due to the presence of unwanted third-party apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast, Lightweight and Versatile, But Limited Apps"
What do you like best about Tizen?

I like that Tizen is super fast and lightweight, with a clean and simple interface. It gives freedom to all developers and works on many devices. This makes it particularly helpful for watching TVs and running appliances smoothly without lag, and I use it for applications like Netflix and YouTube. I also appreciate the security it offers for smart devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tizen?

Compared to Android or Apple, Tizen has fewer apps, fewer games, and slow updates. Some popular apps are missing, the developer support is weaker, and the updates are inconsistent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seemless smartwatch experience"
What do you like best about Tizen?

There are a lot of options to download third-party applications to your watch, unlike Apple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tizen?

Can do with a little less lag sometimes.

But, I also doubt it is because I am using the first version of the Samsung Galaxy watch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Decent but no Android"
What do you like best about Tizen?

In general it's a imitation of the Android OS, sadly it's a underwhelming one; at times wish they would just focus on Android instead of Tizen, but then I do see value in terms of price and some additional flexibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tizen?

Speed, limitations vs other OS's, infant stage when compared to other OS and their potential. Less of a fan following leaves it always as a chaser instead of a leader or a top 3 even. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
