I just tried to get Samsung beta app from Galaxy Apps store and couldn't find one. So I downloaded APK manually and installed it. Unfortunately upon opening app said there is a problem and admin will be notified. Can anyone confirm Beta program still on ?

I have SM-G930F unit, it's Exynos International carrier free variant.

        Z, 05 Nov 2016That app has a nice score...Thanks for the info!

          Samsung UI is more complicated, this is why they are always lag. Nevermind you can buy S8 or Note8, but to be make sure it won't catching fire again.

            I'm sorry but SONY does it first! SAMEsung is always second to first...

              Samsung need to work on nougat update get more refined and polished UI do need to be fluent buttery smooth and why not bring rounded icons that what they should bring up as what google pixel has done I think google should make the rounded icons as OS standard so the icons looks even and the UI looks clean. what do you say?

                      Nougat or not, it's not wise to get a phone without 7.1 (not 7.0) pre-installed if you care about updates. Google introduced a dual partition system for seamless updates starting on 7.1, and devices without 7.1 pre-installed from factory will highly likely not be able to be re-configured as such.

                          Samsung always late for update. Some think, it is because of their UI but the truth is they do it intentionally. They always update their current flagship after launching the new one. Now because of Note-7 fiasco, this year they are launching S8 sooner than usual. So update for current gen flagship will hit the market sooner as well. Simple as that. Always suck on their customer.

                                Better late than never I guess. Expecting Grace UX will be on board.

                                      If only they focused on far less phones and made their skin a bit leaner. Then they wouldn't have to be this slow in releasing their updates.
