"Powerful framework but lack of support."
2/5
What do you like best about Tizen?

The performance and the scalability. Tizen-based applications are comparatively fast and optimized. It uses the EFL libraries which are so feature-rich library, and highly optimized for resource usage. It's fast and lightweight as compared to other OS. The best part about Tizen is its support of multiple types of devices, in smart TVs, refrigerators, smart watches, smart phones, washing machines, light bulbs, vacuum cleaners. Samsung’s devices with Tizen OS consume less power than other OS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tizen?

Although there's official documentation is there, but when I need any support/help at some point where I stuck, there are not much resources available on the web. So it's difficult for me to solve the bug in my code. The application uses a lot of RAM, which causes the application to crash several times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

3.5/5
What do you like best about Tizen?

It's pretty easy to code in Tizen and Tizen is free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tizen?

There is no proper documentation. There should be documentation with examples so that new joiners can pick up things quickly. There should be few sample projects for learning. For example- It took me days to understand how to get all contacts and store them in the Tizen watches. The problem is that the community is small, and error codes are ambiguous, so searching for a particular issue might be troubling.

The tizen community should work on the documentation with live examples. There should be a bunch of "sample projects" so that anyone can learn easily understand it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good for Beginners and UI developers"
3/5
What do you like best about Tizen?

Tizen applications are basically developed on HTML5, so any person who is having knowledge of HTML can develop a interactive UI, Also a good UI gives better browsing experience.

As its based on Linux OS and Application development can be done in C and C++ programming. Any person having knowledge of C/CPP and HTML can develop his own application in Tizen.

As a developer perspective its easy to learn and good scope to contribute.

Tizen is a light weight OS compared to Android. It takes little less time to load the OS, I recommend Tizen OS for Smart Watches and TVs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tizen?

Most of mobile developers creates their own application and deploy in app stores but, Tizen do not have a better application store unlike Play store and App Store(Apple). There creates a lack of interest in developer and we dont see much of Tizen OS or Applications in Smart phones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Choice for Tv OS and HTML developer"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Tizen?

Tizen is very light OS if we compared to Android so boot time is very less due to which its perfect choice for tv.

Tizen applications are based on HTML5 due to which it used to give better browsing experience.

As it is new comparative to Android so there is much scope of optimization for developers to contribute .Os is based on Linux

It dont have any restrictions which google have , its best for customizing the Os and user experience.

If you are tech savvy and like to explore amny customization go for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tizen?

Tizen doesnt have better app store. There is lack of interest from developer due to this its not widely used in smart phones.

Right now only samsung and intel is contributing to this ,it will be better once more developer will start contribute to this Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
