What's all the hub bub about? 2 seconds after I installed this app, I grew a 4th breast. Thanks Samsung!
★★☆☆☆
Forced app This app was a force download when my phone updated. I do not want this app on my phone. I don't use this app, nor will I. Please let me uninstall this app. It takes up space. Why would I want an app on my phone if I will never use it.
★★☆☆☆
Can't get music I use to be able to get music but now all I can view is videos and books that's it. Please fix then i'll give you 5 stars.
★★☆☆☆
Unwanted bundled bloatware Please let us uninstall this. I don't want any of the offerings from Hub, and I dont want to get repeatedly hounded to update something I don't use nor I can't stop on my Galaxy S3. Please treat your customers with respect. Thanks for listening. I received an email stating Samsung has responded to my review, but I'll be damned if I can figure out how to view the response.
